I feel my 1st post is in the right forum

I started using MFP at the beginning of March this year, I'd downloaded a couple of apps for the iPhone and found MFP to be the one that I prefered so I started my diet!
I only found the website some time after so never got round to posting but did read a few of the comments over the last 6 months.

I guess a quick bit of background, although I'd thought it for a while I and knew I was fat I finally decided that the fact I was feeling terrible all the time, felt out of breath when I climbed staircases that I needed to do something about it.

I happened to have my job medical history (I need a medical every few years for my job) and since joining my current employer I had put on around 30kg since I started, and I wasn't that light to begin with.

Using MFP I put in my daily intake that I was eating at the time and I did frighten me a bit. An Adults recommened intake is around 2400calories and I was eating around 4000 calories, and a huge amount of sugary drinks.

Overnight I made the decision to start the diet, stopped all the fizzy drinks (6 cans of Coke or Pepsi a day), stop the chocolate (at least 2 or 2 bars a day), no more crisps (at least 2 packs per day) and reduce the amount of normal food I was eating and began choosing what I was eating more closely. (Instead of just picking up whatever I wanted in the supermarket I actually read the label).
I also dug out my old mountain Bike that I bought back in 1999 and used for about 18 months, probably the last time I actually felt reasonably fit.

So where did I start, well I weighed in at 135kg/ 21st 4lb/ 298lbs, I am tall, but even so I was massivly over weight.

I originally set my target as 94kg/ 14 st 11lbs/ 207lbs. It was a huge difference and just got me into the 'Healthy' Zone on the BMI chart, somewhere I probably haven't been for close to 15 years.

I was actually very surprised how easy I found it to cut out the bad food & drink.

The exercise wasn't so easy, but now it's a lot easier and I'm enjoying the cycling, just a shame it's getting to winter time so evening cycling is getting more difficult, but joined a gym for the 1st time ever recently.

So where have I got to after 6 months, well I've met and exceeted my target, only just so far but have decided to adjust my target to a lower weight.

I'm currently at 93.5kg/ 14 st 10lbs/ 206lbs and feeling great, can't remember when I was this light and felt so good.

My new target is to get under 14 st, get under 200lbs and under 89kg.

The downside was getting carried away when I bought a new mountain bike, wow they get expensive, and the fact I've had to ditch most of my wardrobe, the upside being I have a much bigger selection of clothes available.

Sorry, no before and after pics I'm afraid as I hated getting my picture taken but with hindsight should have got one taken for reference.
