Hello all from Tarn

Hi all, im Stuart

Im a BIG Barnsley lad and now want to change that.

I pretty much stoppped drinkiing and stopped smoking (from 30 a day to 0, 'cold turkey') last year and now its time to get my fat *kitten* into shape.

I want to loose 36kg (79lb or 5.5 stone) and raise my fitness levels to do at least the Great North Run, in a respectable time, next year: I would love to do London Marathon, next year or year after, this is my motivation and i am going to do it!

Im currently Stationary biking 6 days aweek and strength training for half hour 2 to 3 times a week. I will eventually be getting out running soon to train. My Nett cal. intake is now around about 1600 to 2000 a day (from what i can guess at 2000 to 3500 per day) and im determined to turn my life around, from being the couch potatoe i once was

Love this site so far, easy to use, very imformative and looking forward now to meet some nice people on it too!

Thanks for reading

Hello Stuart and welcome to the site. Well done on the stopping smoking, that must have been hard, but your body will thank you for it in the long run. I wish you the best of luck in the great North run, I'd love to do something like that, but doubt that I ever will.

Feel free to add me if you want. I'm not in Barnsley though. Used to be, I went to college there, now I'm only there when visiting friends though.
