in Getting Started
Morning all.. I posted a few weeks ago with an update and a few words of thanks for all those who have supported me on this life changing journey.

Anyway I'm now just over 6 weeks into this and still loving every minute of it.

For over 20 years I have never given a thought to what I eat and drank.

In the last 6 weeks I have gone form a regular drinker to drinking and 3 occasions. I am exercising every day and loving it.

I have gained some great motivational friends on here that have helped me along this journey and I want to thank you all.

If you read some of my post from when I started this, you will see I battling with a demon, that was telling me that wouldn't maintain this. I have smashed him to bits as, no longer do I think I will not continue, this is my new way of life.

My original goal was to loose 1 stone (14lb) again I though I could never do this.

I have now set new goals after achieving the first one. I am top approaching the big 40 beginning of November and my new goal is to have lost 28 lb by my birthday.

Another one of these new goals is a bit strange, I bought a shirt back in in April this year for a family party. XXL ( slim fit) anyway when it arrived I couldn't fasten it. So I left it in the wardrobe thinking I will give it to someone, about a week ago, i came across it and thought wouldn't it be great if I could wear it on my 40h, so I slipped it on, I was gob smacked, I have noticed my clothing become looser, however the shirt fastened, don't get me wrong, it's still to tight to wear, but I still got 5 weeks before my birthday.

A way,I will stop boring you anymore, just thought I would share some of the delight I am felling inside.

Thanks to all, oh and please free to add me, as I might be able to motivate someone, never thought I would be able to say that!
