Hi All
My name is Darren and im from Two Rocks in Perth Western Australia. I am 6ft 4in tall, am 48 years old and was very over weight.
Back in about June last year I got on some scales and seeing I weighed 123.7 stone or 272.7 pound, I nearly fell off in shock.
That's when I decided I had to do something about my weight.
I started with the Myfitnesspal app my cousin gave me for my mobile phone that she and her husband had found and it was working for them so I started using it also.
All I have done is change my diet, eating the right things and now weigh 108.2 stone or 238.5 pound.
I haven't weighed this much for 25 - 30 years so it's an amazing feeling.
It isn't hard at all you just have to be strong and not pick up the quick and easy things at the shop like potato chips, chocolates, fried foods like hot chips and hamburgers.
Don't get me wrong you can still have one every now and then but not all the time.
That's how I have done it and am feeling much better in myself.
