30sth "fat fit" Scot with 20+kg to lose

Hey all,

I've been lingering on MFP for a few weeks now and thought some new friends would be awesome!
I'm born, brought up and live in Scotland.

I have been varying degrees of overweight my whole life.
I have also been varying degrees of fit.
I like a goal to motivate me and had a major change in attitude to fitness about 6 years ago when I decided I wanted to run a marathon.
I'd never done anything like that before as I never regarded myself as a "sporty" person.
I realised if I wanted to run a marathon in my life I had to start somewhere, so one day I left my flat and ran for 5 mins, the next day 7 mins, 10mins, 12 mins, 15mins etc etc - you get the picture.
In May 2007 I ran my first Marathon in Prague with 3 friends and it was amazing!

Since then I have in total:
Run 3 Marathons
Run 5 Half Marathons
Completed 1 Duathlon ( Run 20 miles Cycle 30)
Completed 1 Tough Mudder
Ran 1 Spartan Sprint
Cycled the length of the UK - Land's End to John O'Groats.

So I love being active!
However I also love curling up with a book and being lazy.

My problem is diet - I fluctuate between eating really healthy, home cooked main meals and getting sidetracked by chocolate and cakes.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist and go all or nothing at stuff so I'm here to find a balance.

I want to "look" as fit as I am.
Currently getting into a bit more strength training and learning swimming as my next goal is to do a triathlon - in 2014 sometime.

So if you relate to any of this stuff or just want an extra friend then ping me a request!

Cheers!
