Hi all.
Let me tell you my story. I've always been chubby and never that fit. When I was married 15 years ago I fitted into 30 inch jeans. When I stopped smoking six years ago I was in 34-36 inch gears.
No I'm pushing 40-42 inches and despite having the fittest year of my life last year I've spent almost the last six months working from home for 18 hours a day grazing between emails as I worked past the fridge. This time last year I cycle the 140 miles across the UK in two days - I cycled for the first time in months last night and struggled at 9 miles.
So that's me - classed as obese and in need of dropping 4 stone to get into the top end of the healthy weight for my height. I'm happy to share my diary with friends and open to any help or suggests.
