Hi Paddy - There is so a difference already - your face is slimmer and your abdomen has definately reduced. You are doing great and achieving brilliant results - keep it up and keep positive - you deserve it!!

Ian it's a date!!! See you on the 4th

You have both done so well guy's, please do not under estimate your worth and achievement. Yes it is true that we all crave the quick fix and that is so tough to deal with, particularly if we do not see or imagine we do not see what we want to. Through my own journey I have come to learn that...

Well here goes. I have always shyed away from this, however, as I have been shortlisted for SW's Man of the year semi's & national final I thought I may as well share the pics on here. ps Thanks to everyone for your encouraging words throughout my journey.

Well done for today everyone. I've not posted or visited the site for a while, but feel as if I need a bit of a boost.
