I'm from Romania and at age of 36 I weight ~95kg (210lbs) for 172cm (5' 8"). That put me in BMI category: obese with about 31.

Until I've graduated i was weighting only 55kg (120lbs). Then the weight started to increase because lack of exercise, junk food, sugar...

About 1 month ago decided to do something about that. I've tried to run, but after only 1-2 minutes i get some pain in the tibial area, maybe some shin splints??!?. So, I've decided to take it slower with some 30 minutes walks and 1h hike/walk in weekends.

This week decided to walk to work instead of driving. That will mean 2 x 2miles each day. I will see if I can do it all the week :)

My goal is to loose about 20kg/40lbs by next summer and maybe run 5k next year and half-marathon sometime.
