in Introduce Yourself
Hey.. I'm 32 / Male living in Manchester, UK, looking for a couple of friends to help each other push through the tougher moments!
Last year I realised that ever year since I was born I'd weighed more than the year before and wanted to change that! I lost around 2 stone then after Christmas fell off the wagon and put it all back on again. Early July this year I finally got together the motivation to get going again and have since lost 31lb using the myfitnesspal app.
My target is to lose over 100lb in total and see how I am after that from my starting weight of 285. I enjoy long walks and the majority of my exercise/knackeredness now comes from cycling.
If there is anyone local or further afield that has similar lofty ambitions and and struggles with the commitment from time to time I'd love to hear from you.

    Thanks for the kind words of support all. It's amazing what a difference a few words of encouragement can do! Went out for a ride again tonight, and while I was stiff from yesterday's exertions, for the first time in a while I felt I had some support on my journey. Hope I can do the same for others on here and wish I'd jumped on the forums sooner!
