edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Ey up, just wanted to introduce myself quickly as I've just joined flab fight using this site.

I'm Gary (Gaz or Geeman to friends) 36 and weigh 129 Kg's (284lb). I've currently set my target at the magic 100kg (220lb) so I've got a fair bit to lose. I only started my calorie counting/exercise on Sunday so not looking forward to the first weighing result this Sunday (thought I'd weigh myself weekly) as I found the lack of quick results extremely de-motivating when trying to lose weight before (my own impatience!) . So I'm hoping for some support, motivation and inspiration from fellow members from those willing to give it on here.

I know it's a long journey and one I want to do, it's just making sure there is no stop offs on the way!

Here's hoping for a great friendship with you guys and gals.

Gaz
