Hi everyone. My name's Rich, I'm 30, and I live in London :smile:

Why have I joined? Well…there are a couple of reasons I guess:

- Career: I have decided to leave the world of business and IT by applying to join the police force, however, my BMI is around 29-30. I would like to bring this down considerably (I have my medical/fitness exams coming up, awaiting a date, BMI must be 30 or lower)

- Sport: I play rugby for my local club. Being large is very useful, but I am not the most mobile player on the pitch (30mins into a game and I become a wheezing, trudging sack of potatoes lol)

- Wellbeing: I may be quite big and strong, but I’ve always had a tummy. All my good bits are hidden under layers of flab I’ve never been able to shift. It would be an incredible achievement for me, as well as a massive boost to my confidence and wellbeing if I could somehow shift this.

- App: I tried using the “MyPlate” app from LIVESTRONG. It was ok, but their database was nowhere near as expensive as MFP. The noticeable reduction in the admin has been very welcome!

I also recently gave up smoking, an excellent achievement for myself, so now I’m looking to turn myself into the best person I can physically be. :smile:

I look forward to meeting/hearing from you all. Any support/advice you can give me would be great appreciated!

Speak soon I hope!

Rich
