A UK based blogger who works in the IT Seucrity field.
I started this on Monday at 220lb and and currently at 218.5lb aiming to get to 168lb...
I know I can do it as 16 years ago I lost 5 stone but gradually with stress, divorce, work, ex-wife and all that goes with it the comfort became not food alone but red wine coupled with rich foods...I am aiming to keep lifestyle but at a greatly reduced level...also, once achieving this weight I promise myself I shall not need to do this again.
For me it is the many suits and lovely clothes in my wardrobe that currently do not fit and I so long to wear them coupled with the fact I want to swim with my girls in the summer...that should be enough incentive for me.
I did, however, purchase a treadmill 2 days ago and am hugely pleased to discover that running 2miles at a 2% incline at 6mph burns 333calories.
That's me and that's how it is.
Pleased to meet you.
Cheers
