My story so far

here is a before and after the pic on the left is me 2 days after the birth of my son back in 2008 and the pic on the left was taken a month ago.

2005 i decided that i needed to stop drinking and sort my sorry mess of a life out (parents splitting up and the issues and deicisions that come with that), thankfully i did and my very supportive girlfriend is now my amazing wide and has been there for me throughout my journey. and lost a fair chunk of weight i dont know how much i lost other than i was nearly in 44 inch waist trousers, after i stopped drinking for a year sorted my life out and learnt that you can go out have fun without needing to get blind drunk all the time i dropped down to 38-40 inch trousers where i stayed until 2010.

I was at a gig when i caught a nasty bug and was ill for 4 1/2 weeks and managed to drop some weight. (a bonus if you like) a forum that i go on started up the FFF club for overweight people who want to band together share advice and support and lose that extra weight. that worked well up until a point until fathers day of last year i happned to come accross this site and since then it has been my bedrock helping me my seeing the calories and re educate myself in to what i really need and want to eat.

i am up to 54 lbs lost and moving towards my 3rd target weight, all i have left to lose is the beer belly that i heavily invested in as a teenager and adult. payback can me a right B**ch

my journey isn't over and will find some more horrific pictures of me at my worst.

so there you go my journey albeit a bit brief.
