The journey begins here

Hi all, i've turned 30 and decided that I need to make some changes in my life and my physical well being is the main thing that I aim to change. I have never been under weight but never really too overweight either but lately I am not happy with my body and am making a major overhaul of myself.

I am starting on a healthy eating and strict training regime, given to me from a personal trainer and I would really appreciate it if I could make some friends on here with similar minded people with similar ambitions for some moral support and to share ideas and stuff like that.

Im from Ireland and enjoy most sports, I play rugby and football (soccer), I love cooking and generally enjoy life, anyway add me if you want to, I enjoy meeting new people

    Hi. I'm always looking for new friends. I wasn't always unhealthy, but after a yr 6months, 6weeks, and 6 days on crutches I found that I was unhealthy, and not as thin as I used to be. I would start losing weight and give up only to gain more. Before I started on MFP I was 298 pounds. I lost about 17 before I started logging, and since logging I've lost another 36 pounds. I am well on my way and could use support, and I'd be willing to support you in return. Feel free to read my profile and send an invite if you'd like.
    Either way, good luck reaching your goals!
