Hello, MFP newbie :)

Hi Folks, Just signed up for MFP following a recommendation from a Disneyworld forum and think its brilliant

My names mark and im 39 and from just outside London.

Im looking to go from about 272lbs to around 230lbs before my wedding/honeymoon in September.

I was just shy of 22 stone last summer, i had been a competing powerlifter but due to a series of injuries.. and 40 approaching rapidly.. i called it a day so i could get back to a healthy weight. I got down to just under 19 stone but have crept back up to 19st 10lbs in the darker months and with Christmas.

We are lucky enough to live on a river with lots of country walks nearby so thats the biggest chunk of my exercise now along with Fitness Evolved 2012 for the Xbox and static bike.

Really looking forward to getting the weight off and i think this site will really help
