Well, I say new. I signed up to this a while ago and managed to lose a *bit* of weight. But managed to put it back on.

Hi, I'm a student at wolverhampton uni, always been called fat as I've always been a bit "bigger" (even during my childhood years and was skinnier than most of the others...kids can be cruel) After a recent change in events, and watching a show on channel 4 called "Embarrassing fat bodies", I've decided to make a long-term commitment to shifting some/most of my weight. Since my last measurement on here I've lost 17lb.

Got myself weighed the other day and it read 17 stone. Whilst that is still very heavy, I haven't seen that weight on me in years and I ended up breaking down in the store.

Yes I'm rambling, no I don't care. All I know is that I'm more determined now to lose weight than ever before, and for all the new people joining/reading this. Good luck.

Craig

    Congratulations! You can do it Craig, because it sounds to me like you WANT this! I'm 42 and just went back to college this past semester, and it's tough some days to juggle homework, honey-do's, and make time to exercise, BUT "we" can do anything if we want it bad enough right? Please feel free to add me to your friends list. I would love to keep in touch and we can keep eachother motivated.
