Determined! I Can do this
Hi all,
Thought I would introduce myself. My name is Alan, 32yrs old from Coventry. I started my weight loss journey back in July (1st) 2009.
I did this on my own diet, and while taking reductil. Between July 09 and January 10 I successfully managed to lose 94lb. This was 4 months dieting, then I introduced a heavy gym routine for 3 months on top of the diet.
It all went (for want of a better word) 'tits up' around February. Reductil was recalled and no longer available. This was a big deal for me, the first time I was ever successful at a diet and the thing that helped me in some way had gone.
I then injured my back at work which meant I was unable to go to the gym ... this hit me like a ton of bricks, I had became addicted to the gym - it was a great escape for me to go work out daily.
Anyway, I went to the doctors on Thursday as my back had made a great recovery and the pain had eased tremendously. He said I can start back at the gym, light workouts for the first week to see how my back reacted.
I have also been taking Xenical for the past 4 - 6 weeks too.
The good thing about this is - during all of my downtime, I have only gained 3lb - taking my total lost since July 2009 to 91lb ..
So figured I would hop on here and introduce myself as I wasnt a part of this individual forum and give a little history about my journey to date ... and say I am back on it big time now I have been given the all clear hehe, and here is to picking up where I left off!!
