On June 11th 2012 I left a job that I hated and vowed to take control of all aspects of my…

Thanks people, its great to know that there are people out there going through the same stuff but with the right motivation we can all do it.

That's excellent work, well done. More inspiration for my own journey.

That's awesome my friend, inspiration right there.

I've always been big, even as a kid, I suppose I had a couple of revelations. Firstly my other half had been really ill and lost weight as part of her rehab and her determination to be healthy was amazing. Secondly I've only ever been good at one sport, badminton and when I tore my cartilage and completely ruptured my ACL…
