Hi there guys, i'm a psuedo-newbie...been lurking around for a while but never got around to posting anything !


I'm 20 years old from the UK. Currently a university student (not your typical one might I add! Hate getting drunk and sleeping in late and actually want to get a first!) hoping to become a primary school teacher :)

I've never really had a "problem" with my weight...I was one of those who could eat anything and never really put any weight on....until i started at university. As I was never weight conscious before I just ate what I wanted and when I went home for Christmas found out I'd put on over a stone! :sad:

I managed to lose the weight and get back to the size I was quite quickly but in doing so found an interest in actually being a healthier person and realized that if I lost a bit more I could be a bit better than average...so that's what I'm working towards now! Only got 3 pounds to go then my focus will be on adding more muscle!

Thanks for reading and looking forward to getting to know you !
