Hello, newbie here. This seems like a cool place so I thought I’d join and share my diet progress with anyone who’s interested.
My name’s Dave, I’m 29 and live in the UK. On the 31st of August 2009 I weighed 25st 12lbs (not quite as horrendous as it sounds as I am 6ft 3 and big build but…) and as I type this today (22nd January 2010), I weigh 20st 8lbs!! I am absolutely thrilled about this and am very proud of myself. I know that sounds big headed but it’s true.
The target I set at the beginning was to be 16st 10lbs (I think I will look sporty at this weight) by the 31st May 2010 and I am on course to achieve this. I feel healthier in mind and body and whilst I miss eating soft French cheese and a few other things, I have really enjoyed my journey so far. I haven’t had an operation or used any of the ‘miracle’ pills that flood my inbox every day. I know very little about diet theory/science etc… I’ve heard about Atkins but that’s about as far as my knowledge goes lol.
I have taken a photo of myself every month since starting and I guess I could post them on here but it’s a bit embarrassing, especially as the first pic makes me look very gormless and as if I’ve been blown up with air lol (it’s quite shocking looking back).
I will do my best to answer any questions from fellow weight loss people but remember, I’m not clued up on the scene, all I know is my experiences.
Here is my progress to date, I will update this thread after every Monday weigh in from now until I reach my goal.
Looking forward to being part of the Mini Mins community!
Thanks for reading
Dave
