in Introduce Yourself
Hello every one, I am Dave aged 59 from Lancashire in the North West of England. I have been on the site for a week, it was recommended to me by my Doctor and I think it is great. I took early retirement from my job as a production manager on June 1st and a few days later had a heart attack. Obviously I have had to re-think my lifestyle and focus on sensible eating and exercise. Since then I have lost 55lb and have another 60 - 70 to go before I will be happy with my size. I walk every day (I am not a jogger) averaging 5 miles a day and attend weekly aerobics at a local gym. My interests are motor sports, geocaching, and ballroom/latin dancing. I am looking forward to a long stay on MFP.

Best regards

Dave
