Hi, after reading some of the great diaries here i thought i'd start one - I need to lose 1.5 stone to reach my first target weight, and then the rest of the work begins!
Here's my introductions post:
'Hi everyone, i'm new here!
I'm a man in my early 20s, about 5'10 so not too tall, and i've always been big. I'd say the last time (until the last few months) that i knew what weight I was was before going to University and I was about 15 stone.
Anway I went to university at 18 and gained a large amount of weight - our scales at home here didn't go high enough to show it, but eventually after Uni I found out I was between 20 and 21 stone.
So in the last 3 months I've finally recognised the problem and have set myself the initial goal of getting back to 15 stone, then will hopefully look at losing more! I've cut out all junk food, cut down what i'm eating by a big amount and although i've had the odd pint i've barely touched alcohol since (And feel ashamed when i do which is keeping me going) So far i'm down to 16st7lb (I think that's 234lb-ish) so have a way to go. Exercise-wise I haven't been doing as much as I should have - some walks, some on an exercise bike but if i'm being honest not even every day, so that's what i need to work on the most.
Good luck to everyone else and I wish i'd got on here sooner!'
I've been just updating my weight and targets and stuff in a word document on my computer for a bit but this seems like a good place to post.
Good luck to everyone.
