Hello,
I thought this might help keep me motivated and share what i'm going through with the rest of you.
backstory
Since the age of 10 when I was put on massive does of steriods to cure mild asthma I have struggled with weight (Balooning 2-3 stone right after and never getting down to a normal weight after). To combat my weight I was always incredibly active a rugby player, football, basketball even playing rugby (at age grade) to the highest level, constant gym time and working out used to keep my weight down but even so I was still overweight.
After finishing school and university I got into a series of jobs and stopped exercising, this prompted the weight to just pile onto me.
I took a stand about 3 years ago and went on a sensible diet and exercise routine with the aim of playing rugby again and lost 3 and a half stone and got into pretty good shape, unfortunately I got offered a new job which was a "field" based job meaning I spent up to 7 hours a day in a car and to be honest I stopped exercising totally and the weight piled on like never before.
finding myself heavier than I have ever been in my life, just turned 30 and now in a new job with more reasonable hours and a wedding to my long term partner at the end of the year I have decided that I'm going to make a permanent weightloss change get in shape and start playing rugby again before I get too old !
(I also saw the success of lighter life in my partner who lose 9 and a half stone and has kept it off for over a year).
So I will update with my thoughts and feelings on a week to week basis !
