6 months gone

I started with MFP back in February and its now been 6 months of checking in every day, recording what I have eaten and what I've done by way of exercise. Reading other peoples messages and struggles and success stories etc, I thought I'd put up a quick message on my own story so far.

So far its gone really well, a lot better than I'd hoped or expected. 45lbs of 'lard' have gone - here in the UK thats 3 stone and 3lbs, which is the equivalent of 'half my 12 year old son' !!!!

I get up every morning at 6am, go to the gym, do about 45 mins of cardio (cycling, treadmil, rowing) and occassionally a bit of weight training. I've bought a bicycle and on nice evenings and weekends I try and do a four mile route that I've worked out near my house. I no longer eat takeaways 3 or 4 times a week. I no longer drink 50 pints of beer a week, although I do still have a few now and a again ;-)

My goal is about 80lbs before 1st February 2011 and I think I'm on target !! I really miss doner kebabscovered in garlic sauce and ketchup though !!

Cheers
