Fat man needs help
Long time since I have been on here and I really want to get myself going again. Oct 2013 I realised I was a fat mess and didn't want to get married that way. I set myself a goal and smashed it so I set another and smashed that! I became obsessed and lost 5 and a half stone. I was slimmer than when I was about 18. I am 6ft…
