in Introduce Yourself
Hay everyone, just thought id introduce myself. My name is Blake van Rooy and i am a 17 year old teenager living in New Zealand. I started my fitness journey about a year and a half a go, in the Christmas holidays. At the age of 16 i was morbidly obese, and at my peak tipped the scales at 119.7kg! it was that point that i sold my PS3 and bought a good pair of running shoes, and a one year gym membership, best decision of my life. I have lost about 37kg on my journey, and am happy with my progress, im starting a YouTube channel "BVRfitness" if you wanna check it out. Hope to get to know and learn new things off everyone.
Thanks, Blake :D

    Welcome to MFP Jake! Well done on sacrificing your PS3, your a braver man than me!

    MFP is great, especially if your a guy mate. A lot of the weightloss industry is targeted at females where as there's plenty of diversity on here to offer slimming/toning/muscle building options!

    Feel free to add me if you want
