in Introduce Yourself

Hey everyone! I’ve been lurking on the forums for a while but thought it was about time to introduce myself properly.

I’m Jim, and over the last 8 months, I’ve gone from 25 stone (159 kg) to 98 kg, dropping from 34% body fat to 23% - and I’m still working towards my goal. My journey has been all about habit-building, accountability, and learning as I go, and I’ve used MyFitnessPal every step of the way to track my progress.


How I Got Here

  1. I didn’t start in the gym or with cardio. For the first 2–3 months, I focused entirely on my diet and building sustainable habits.
  2. I eventually found keto, which helped me curb cravings and control hunger better than anything I’d tried before.
  3. Tracking my food every day, even when I wasn’t perfect, kept me accountable and aware.
  4. I hit plateaus, adjusted, kept learning, and just stuck with it.


Where I’m At Now

  • 98 kg, 23% body fat

  • Feeling stronger, healthier, and in control
  • Still working towards my next goal and fine-tuning my approach

I know how overwhelming it can feel to start, so if you’re on your own journey - whether you’re at day one or years in - I’m happy to chat, share what’s worked for me, and learn from others too. Looking forward to being more active in the community!

Would love to make new MyFitnessPal Friends, so please feel free to say hi, friend request and share your story too! 😃💪
