in Introduce Yourself
I have just turned 52, and been overweight most of my adult life.
In 1991 I saw the difference WW had made to my younger sister, she gave it up and I borrowed her file. I stuck to 1500 calories a day, and got down to ten stones. My waist went down from 36 inches to 28 ! A few relationships later, I have been with my soulmate for 10 years now, and at my worst I was 17-6 . I have lost 34lbs so far, and have been using MFP for a few months now, but only on my phone, I was not aware that there are user forums on here, and i am very impressed !
I am a keen cyclist, and ride 20 miles most days,

    A very motivating story. I am also from England, and a keen cyclist. I was amazed at how much I enjoyed cycling, and how much it helped with my weightloss!

    I got my bike through the cycle to work scheme. It's a bike i have always dreamed about owning, but my wife would not be pleased if I blew £900 on a bike, buying it this way is painless, I have cycled just under 1200 miles since taking delivery of it on Aug 1st last year ! I have done 20 miles on it today :-)
