Really sorry but I'm completely freaked out
This will no doubt come across as idiotic but I am wigged out beyond belief at the moment. Last Friday I had surgery to reconstruct my ACL in my left knee and since then I have been a mental mess, let me try and explain a little more. Since June 11th 2012 I have been a different person to the person I was prior, I have…

Clothing NSV

So i took myself off…

Okay so here it is.
I need to lose 56lbs in 86 days to be at my goal weight for our wedding. It's going to be tough but I'm damn sure going to give it my best shot. With the help of my wife to be (love you babe) and my PT I know this is possible. Now is when the serious work starts. Wish me luck and I'll keep you posted.

NSV in the gym
So I was in the gym yesterday afternoon when a woman who trains with the gym's scariest personal trainer came over and asked, "How much have you lost now?", so I told her about 6.5 stone and she said that's amazing and that she sees me in the gym and that I'm always training hard. To get this kind of feedback from someone…

I have a hospital appointment tomorrow to follow up on my knee surgery (I badly tore my cartilage and completely ruptured my ACL playing badminton in April) and I wanted to be 300lbs for the appointment. Setting short term goals have been a real motivation…
