Head Host

Calorie Comedy Club is the creation of Jonny Shand.

Hey there!

I'm right here with you on this journey, having experienced a significant weight gain myself in recent years. If you want to see my transformation, check out my photos—it's been quite the ride! But here's the exciting part: we're in this together. I'm not here to dictate or lecture; I've navigated every twist and turn of this mindset journey, so I get it, and I'm here to lend a hand.

My journey kicked off in 2013 after some eye-opening moments—a flight with a seatbelt extender and one of 'those photos' from a friend's birthday bash. That's when I made a firm commitment to change.

I've tried all the diets out there and even worked for a global weight-loss brand. But for me, the winning combination turned out to be calorie counting paired with more movement, resulting in a loss of over 10 stone!

2020 threw some curveballs at us all—a pandemic, acute anxiety, and severe burnout made for the perfect storm for weight gain. That's when I decided to take charge and shake things up. I sold my house, quit my full-time job, and poured my heart into creating Calorie Comedy Club. I'm right here beside you, taking every step of this journey with you.

My mission? To create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive club where everyone feels at home. You'll never face judgment or pressure here—just good laughs and genuine support. That's my golden promise!

With almost 18 years of coaching experience under my belt, including nearly 8 years in weight loss and wellbeing, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. Plus, I have a solid understanding of nutrition and a keen awareness of disordered eating. You're in safe hands, I promise.

My fun-loving personality shines through—I'm here to inject laughter and enjoyment into our club, making this journey far less intimidating.

I'm surrounded by amazing members who inspire me daily, not just for the weight they've shed, but for their unwavering determination to lead healthier lives through weight loss. From reversing diabetes to donating kidneys, their health transformations are nothing short of extraordinary.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach, and my own life is a testament to the ups and downs of a genuine weight-loss journey. Now, it's time to focus on my goals while sharing a laugh or two along the way! Let's embark on this adventure together.

I'd be absolutely thrilled to have you join me,

Jonny x
