For my entire life, I've struggled with my weight, until finally one day I decided to do something about it. Since then, it's been my mission to lose weight and be healthy. I ran a minimum of 3 miles a day and lost 100 plus pounds. Running became my best friend. Throughout this personal challenge, I had a vision. I wanted to create an environment where people can meet, network, talk, and have a good workout. I wanted to use my story and challenges to get through to others.
I created the Six-K Club, as a tool to inspire other people in similar situations. People on a diet, people planning to go on a diet, people who are just into running, people who like taking long walks and sweating a little, people who are young, old, men & women, local and foreign. The Six-K Club is a place were everyone can come together for the purpose of changing their lifestyle, and motivating the rest to do the same.
This is a place where no one is skinny, no one is fat, no one is cute and no one is ugly, we are just getting together to have a good time and sweat a little while we're doing it.
The Six-K Club is totally free! Just come and join us and have fun! T-shirts, Stickers, Water Bottles are always on us, all you have to bring is yourself, a friend if you like of maybe an iPod.
Hope to see you here soon.

Keep it up ^^
TAT:

Moey:
You do that, where you at?
Khallas i’m sooooo eager to come….am full of energy…:)
the best thing for people who want to get started down this road is to have company and support.. this is a great idea.. if i were in kuwait, i woulda joined u guys!
MSB: Where are you?
Bahrain
this is an amazing idea, and mabroook for losing all that weight! mashalla!
if I was in q8 right now I would join u guys too! Oh well maybe in April I will 😀
Inshalla you will 😀
For some reason, you looked happier when you were overweight!
I am not saying that what you did is not a good thing, it is great, keep it up.
By the way, how can I join you this summer?
Blue Ice Envy: Well, don’t worry about how i looked, i am telling you i hate those days and i ain’t going back 😛 … Just join, show up, it’s free! take look around our website, lots of info 😉 best of luck.
well, man that’s a very new idea!!!

Tremendous idea!

Babydoll: Thanks a million ! Come and join us, you’ll get a t-shirt 😛
Hussain: Thanks man, much appreciated !!
Mashalla,my hat is off to you .. You’re the poster boy for Will Power and akeed you inspired other people.I know you’ve inspired me !
Keep it up !
hey man cool thing that you are doing
when i can start to with you guyz ??
Great job and incentive to others.
I wouldnt mind doing the same thing in Oman, but i think it would have to be gender segregated though the younger generation wouldnt mind as much
Nouri: Register to our mailing list and show up ! its that easy.
Warda: O-Man 😀
Hello All Hello six-k Clup
Its really new and amazing things to be able to lose this weight its a great idea 🙂
u look soooooo diff after losing all this kilos i hope i can do that one day i think i will never be able to lose them even i need that really to be nice for my self and my husband 😉 any way keep on Good work i Registerd and am waiting for that meeting 🙂
Shimo: Thank you 😀
Oh-man! is an understatement. 🙂
Society or culture really gets in the way of anything remotely open-minded that the younger generation would like to do.
Warda: a few “younger generation” with good minds get together and slowly we will change our world to be better, more accepting, understanding, truly diverse. Hopefully one day.
mashallah 3alaik… God bless !! yalla get me a shirt oo bottle… I’M in 🙂
Noura: 😀
Jasim
Your the best !! trust me … you will really motivate all of us to start hitting the roads . i salute you and here is a cheer for you ( hip hip hooray )
Dalal: ARTHAUS GALLEY please 😉 …
liberals. 😮
I noticed from the pics. that all members are young men and a few young women all below 25. Would it be awkward to have an above 35 non-national married working mom with 2 kids join you?……please be frank about it…it will take a lot of guts to be seen amongst such a hip looking group, being the odd looking one.
MG: contrary to your belief, we are a wide mix of people we have the young 18 year old hip looking kid, and the older college professor, we’ve had men and women old and young and their pets too join us. Also, don’t forget that not all people like their pictures taken so don’t let the “posted” pictures decieve you, there’s alot more happening when the camera isn’t rolling. Hope to see you soon!
Hey Jassem –
Great Motivation! At present am in Iraq putting on weight with all the Steaks and Beers, lemme get back to Downtown Kuwait I shall surely join you!
In the meantime I shall enjoy a couple of more beers before the sweat work actually begins!
Once again – great motivation factor!
n…
Nick: sounds great buddy, normally i would tell you to stay off the beer, but since i’m in Kuwait now all i’m gona say is 😀
thanx 6k club it was fun
can’t wait 4 the next walk !
Fahad: I’m glad you had fun! See you next time, inshalla 😀

nazan: thanks 🙂
Good luck deyman
Dodo: thank you !
hey i really hope i could join .. i’d love to lead a healthy life style and its about time i got movin’ 🙂
Bzza: you will join 😉 next time we announce a walk i look forward to meeting you there 😀
Great Idea bro… 😉
You always wanted to make a difference..i think you are now…you are inspiring alot of people…its is really nobel of you to dedicate part of your time to help others. God Bless! 🙂
Cousin: Congratulation on the baby i have to come and see her soon, thank you for the kind words buddy!
Today was the first time I join you guys after hearing a lot about you guys. Being someone who loves running but always too lazy to do so on a regular basis, joining you guys is probably the best thing to happen to my health.
Keep it up guys!
Khalid: Awesome, hope to see you soon.
hey,
im thinking of joining. any suggestions on how to go about doing that?
Maha: you could start by sending me a blank email to the6kclub@gmail.com to get updated on when/where we are meeting and just show up 😉 it’s that simple.
I wish I had heard of the club a year ago. I too decided in 2005 to loose weight and I gave myself a target. I used to workout 2 hours a day, 7 days a week. I used to ditch work and make up a phony meeting JUST to go to the gym. My body was still considered obese but I dropped 8 SIZES!!! and I looked amazing! Later I started getting back aches so I immediately made sure to work on my back before doing any exercises .. then one day I bent over to feed my grandmother and I couldn’t get back up. From them on I tried to get back in to the workout routine but it hurt sooooooooooooooo much … I’m talking EXCRUCIATING that I started hating myself and since then I’ve gained all my weight back PLUS!
Turns out that I focused so hard of losing weight that my back muscles were so weak they couldn’t handle the pressure.
My whole family is upset that I’ve gained all my weight back. Everytime I wanna get back on the wagon I immediately jump off. I love to walk. I do the same thing Jasem does which is walk from one town to another when the weather permits. I hope to be able to do that again soon. Good Luck Everyone and Have Fun!
Sooli: Join us.

Deem: nop, who that might be. Dad once called me and was like ” what are you doing in dubai” and i was in my room so it might be that dude …

Deem: I don’t mind, he might. 🙂

Hii there
Congratulations for your success and accomplishment. I saw your interview on youtube. I am currently in the states and I gained like 20 pounds in a year! I know what u went through. As a student I really find it hard to keep my health on track . Im not overweight but I would like to lose the 20 pounds I gained. Im coming back to Kuwait for good and I would like to join you guys for support.
Thanks for your hard work and effort
