Hi,
Although I started 4 weeks ago I hadn't joined the forums till now so please add me as a friend. I look forward to sharing this journey with you and seeing your inspiring MFP stories.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I am a 31 year old man from London, England. I've always been stocky and stable at around 13 stone (182lbs) but working from home sitting a desk all day I have really started to pile on the pounds in the last year.
Having hit 200lbs I finally accepted that I was overweight and chose to do something about it.

HOW IT'S GOING SO FAR
I started at 200lbs and lost several pounds in my first week. I then had two Stag weekends back to back and put all the weight and more back on. Time for a renewed effort.
Since then I have lost 6 pounds and am exercising regularly and feeling great.

    Welcome! I too work from home and spend much of my day sitting at a computer. I've only been using this site for about a week, but I can feel a difference already.
