Hi!
I wouldnt say Im new but did use MFP a few months back and due to work etc fell off the wagon as such! I orignally lost 10 lb in the month I was on here. Strict diet and exercise everyday. But Im sorry to say I lost the inclination!
Today I was with my 7yr old boy in the garden and struggled to keep up! and having looked at the photos my girlfriend took Im ashamed! 10yrs ago I was fit, played soccer twice a week and did martial arts ,now I sit behind a desk! and am I reckon 56lbs heavier!
So thats it Im here again and Im not going to fail, so please a little bit of encourgement and by all means add me as a friend if you to would like some company along this journey we are all under taking!
