Hello, I am a newbie here and just getting to grips with the features. So why am I here? Well at 36 and getting close to 17stone sat at a desk all day things wasn't looking to healthy. I have 2 young boys aged 9 and 6 who are not interested in any sporting activities. At their age I was in to everything always out playing. I can't blame their console as I had 1 at their age, so what is it. Well my stepdad was always active and would take us out to play football go swimming on walks and bike rides. Me I just work 24/7 to give them what I never had but actually I have taken away the best bits so they have actually missed out. So I get my *kitten* in gear then realise that I am and obese lazy *kitten* that needs to fix up quick. Which is why I am here. Next year I will be doing that parents race on sports day and making my kids proud, until then fatman here will be doing all I can to get in shape and get kids out like i was.

Hiya! New here myself. I've actually been working on myself for a couple of years and I'm 4 stone down. I've got a way to go but I have no intention of stopping. I may be old enough to be your mum but that means nothing.
You've got a great "why". Hold on to that and you'll get there.1 -
You've got this! I'm in a similar boat, but mine are girls, I've got them in a variety of sports but we've got to model the behavior right?! Good luck to you on your journey.1
