in Introduce Yourself
Hello all,

I'm Thom, friends call me Rhodes. I've been with MFP for a while, using the iOS app, and now that I have a little free time I'm going to try and be active on these here community message boards because you all seem pretty down-to-earth and fun!

Me:

I'm 19 years young, 5'10 and when I really started using MFP I was 88kg. I'm now bordering 82kg. I'm an ex-boxer and rugby player so the muscle is (near enough) still there, just covered in the lovely lardy stuff which I need to get rid of! (before my holiday to spain at the end of August).

I'm currently a part-time minion at my local supermarket and a full-time entrepreneur setting up my second start-up. I'm also studying for a degree (long distance, with RDI) in business admin. & marketing.

I'm trying to get into exercising regularly (around an hour a day stationary cycling, everyday) with standard sit-ups, crunches and muscle building in my arms.

So yeah, hey! :D

    Welcome!

    Am next door in Berkshire - although after my recent mountain bike accident I seem to spend a lot of time frequenting the John Radcliffe for follow up appointments! Should be back out again soon though.

    Sounds like you're well on your way to meeting your holiday target though.

    Oh, feel free to add etc etc .....

    edit - don't forget to check out the Team UK group!

    Welcome Thom!

    I'm a lifelong Anglophile, but as I've never been to the UK, my image is based on various BBC and ITV programs mixed in with anecdotes from people who've actually been there.

    Thanks for the welcome, it hope you're okay! Whatcha do, fall off the mountain? (Awful pun.. Sorry..)

    I hope I hit my target, looking at around 15% body fat in August, thinking of adding before and after photos for the community to see,.

    I'll add you now, thanks for the Team UK mention, I'll join it now ;D

    Thanks!

    It's quite a nice place, well for the most part, if you don't mind the typical British weather, fly on by! Definitely visits London and Oxford if you're into historical buildings and other cultural things us Brits take for granted!
