in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,

I have just joined up to try and loose some weight as weighed myself yesterday and near had a stroke at the results (understand strokes are not funny but bear with me..lol)

I stand 5'9" tall and am currently 189 lbs so fat!!

Used to be 9 stone at 30 and had a hectic lifestyle of clubbing and mountain biking with jobs in factory's etc lugging stuff around so was super fit, now I am 35 and a manager that spends most of his day staring at my pc in the office I have piled it on.

No longer go clubbing etc, I do try to eat healthy but found out I have been packing 2500 calories plus a day and doing no exercise so decided its time to get myself fit and as I live 10 minutes walk from Dorsets beaches I plan to start getting beach fit again!!

    Thank you Cheryl, I am very serious about this as my father has suffered badly from being over weight and my build is very similar so want to sort it before my health begins to suffer.
