160lbs to lose - just introducing myself - MiniMins.com

badger1980 · 2nd July, 2008

Hi people just introducing myself,
Names Badger basically because of my grey hairs. I'm a 27yr male that was feeling 60.
I started cambridge on the 20/5/08 and i'm currently sat at just over 22stone and started late may on 24 5lbs. my next target is to get into the teens then take it a stone at a time. Really chuffed with the diet so far, im doing the ss+ which means I have a small meal a day which is great.
I got interested in the diet after stumbling across Icemooses blog, he was pretty much a mirror image of myself(body wise) and the transformation was a miracle. Ive allways been big built but put on about 4 stone over 2 years due to debt problems stress etc and just really let myself go. Now my head is in the right place I decided to sort myself out, I think this is crucial. My reasons for weight loss are firstly my health and secondly image and the other perks of being lighter.
Im not in any rush to lose this but im really happy at the start, hope to get exercising more as I progress although my energy levels are through the roof already.
Anyway sure i'll be on here a lot over the months. And nice that theres a forum for those with a lot to lose rather than a stone or 2.

Hi Badger,

Good luck with the rest of your journey, I'm about to join the Century club myself, so maybe we can keep each other company?

I'm new as well... need to make a positive change so am starting on SS today.

badger1980 · 16th July, 2008

Hi all, thanks all for your kind words. This forums huge so I guess I got a bit lost. Lost another 5 3/4lbs last week and weigh in tomorow so fingers crossed for another good week. Ten2go feel free to keep posting here and i'll do the same, im not on as much as i'd like to be but will keep an eye on the threads, think support on here certainly helps.

Ten2go · 16th July, 2008

Good luck on your weigh in! Let us know how you get on x

Hi Badger, you've done amazing well! I know what you mean re the stress of debt problems etc. Been there too and I've found I can only get my head in the right place for dieting if everything else in my life is 'reasonable'. Know it will never be perfect!!

Looking forward to following your progress.

badger1980 · 18th July, 2008

Another 3 1/2 yesterday, flying along.
