in Introduce Yourself
Hi I am a 44 year old happily married British guy living in Hong Kong.

Being very tall at 6ft 5 I get away with my weight as in my suit I don't look to bad, however I know that I need to go from 108 KG to 90 KG to start with,

Starting to play tennis and basketball again - but could always appreciate friends who can keep me motivated. I haven't been 90 KG for over 20 years and I am determined to finally do it.

Loving the iPhone app!

Get in touch..

    Hey another English MFP follower here. Welcome and this is where your life changing journey begins.

    It's a brilliant site and app. I have made some amazing friends who have helped me and supported me. Not everyday has been a breeze, and if you ever have them days, talk to people.

    Hi, I'm a newbie looking for new pals too - any hints/tips/encouragement gladly received! Good luck! Let me know if i can help!

    I love my squash and 5-aside footie so I'll be hitting that hard...

    you'll probably squirm when I say this but i had to recouperate from knee surgery and wasnt able to play squash at that time - the weather was awful so I ended up playing indoor (short) tennis - really did the trick in getting me moving again!!!
