in Success Stories
I was a heavy smoker for 17 years and a heavy binge drinker for 20 I had not exercised for about 20 years and had a sit down life style both at work and home.

I have a young child who is 5 I want to be here when he is 25 and I want to be a role model for him and its working he is eating well and perfectly heathy for his age.

In most cases I believe its a choice, choose not to live in denial, choose not to be fat, choose to exercise stop making excuses. If I can do it anyone can.

I am struggling to find before picture because I often refused to get in front of a camera.

    Basically 12 months for the 3 stone i think. I started learning about food 1st and lost 6lbs just through walking to work and eating. Then I joined the local gym in April and lost about 3 stone since then not sure of the exacts weight tbh.

    My my worst weight before MFP in the last 2 years was 216lbs so actually lost 48lbs.

    Congratulations on your success and good luck with any future progress.
