This emboldened Nic&#8217;s to give it everything, not just for his benefit but his children&#8217;s and his wife.<\/p>\n<p>The results speak for themselves as Nic explains, &#8220;I think at the end of week 12 I was doing 160,000 steps a weekend and was I really eating super clean for 12 weeks. So throughout that 3-month programme, I lost 2.5 stone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Average weight loss statistics for the FIT FANS programme are impressive and exceed those of many other programmes. On average women lose well over 3kg and men over 5.5kg by the end of the 12 weeks. We also have evidence that lifestyle change and weight loss is sustained over the following 12 months. More than 90% of men and 85% of women lose weight during the programme with many losing a clinically significant amount.\u00a0 Our data shows FIT FANS helps people to increase physical activity, reduce sedentary time, leading to weight loss, a significant reduction in blood pressure and improvement in self-reported mental wellbeing measures.<\/p>\n<p>With such great results, Nic was anxious as to whether he would fall back into his old habits. However , he credits Akshay Mistry, Northampton Town&#8217;s Community Trust Sports Participation Officer Nic with helping him and the rest of the group keep going. So much so that Nic has surpassed his expectation and continued to lose another stone in weight.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Nic said: &#8220;It didn\u2019t really stop, we carried on with a weekly zoom fitness class with Akshay. There\u2019s a WhatsApp group where everyone is really supportive. All of the people that have come through the programme continue to check in with each other and we support each other on those tougher days when people are finding it a bit harder.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nic has continued his healthy habits and the benefits have created a domino effect for those close to him. Nic explains,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This has not only changed my life but it&#8217;s also changed my kids life. I\u2019m there for them much more now. I\u2019ve got more energy and more time for them to do things they want. I do lots of walking and now the kids and my wife all come on my walk. We all go out as a family and have just become more active together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-0  avia-builder-el-no-sibling ' ><a href='https:\/\/www.efltrust.com\/fitfans\/'  class='avia-button  avia-color-theme-color   avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-x-large avia-position-center '   ><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left ' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue81e' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Find out more about FIT FANS<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prior to embarking on a life-changing journey with FIT FANS at Northampton Town Community Trust, Nic struggled with the motivation make changes in his lifestyle.
