In October 2006 i went for my yearly check up to the doctors and was quite shocked to find out that i weighed 15 Stone 8 Pounds, Though must admit that i didnt actually do anything about it, Then in March last year i landed a Full Time job and was walking down and back from Town everyday that i worked which meant that i was getting some much needed exercise and then last September for some reason i just decided to go on abit of a health kick and cut out all of the rubbish that i ate which was allot!

So since then i have cut out Chocolate, Crisps and other rubbish that i would eat on an almost daily basis and after being Full Time at work walking down and back and getting an exercise bike which i do 5 K's on everyday i went back for my yearly check up in October and was flabbergasted to find out that i weighed 14 Stone exactly and had lost 1 Stone 8 and was very proud of that fact and decided that i would continue on the health kick and only had a bad patch over Xmas which was a treat.

Anyway after Xmas i continued back on the Weight Loss and today i weighed myself and have to say that i am very very proud to say that i weigh 12 Stone 8 and have officially lost 3 Stone in 15 Months.

For me this is quite a big deal as i never had allot of confidence and was just in my own little world but now feel so much more confident as a person and feel very proud of the fact that i have stuck at it and lost 3 Stone which i never believed i would.

Anyway i will be continuing not eating junk and aim to get down to 11 Stone which i know will take time but that is what i want to do and aim to do at some stage in the future.

Cheers for reading my rubbish! :D

Can't believe if City go up cheltenham will go dow
Congrats. I know exactly where your coming form

I have been doing the same type of thing in recent years. I was about 16 stone a couple of year ago but with going to the gym and drinking less.
I am now down to about 14 stone and looking to lose a couple more stone over the next couple of years!

I have today weighed myself again and have now reached the next hurdle and have now lost another half a stone which brings the total to 3 and a half stone that i have lost so now down to 12 stone 1 from 15 stone 8, Only another stone to go before i can be happyish again though would still like to get down further than 11 stone to be honest.

Cant complain though! :D

I'm 'aving it medium
You ought to think about slowing down. If you carry on shedding weight at this rate, in 5 years there will be nothing left of you! Literally!

First of all congratulatons, that is a good effort.

I find that cycling everywhere helps me to keep trim and, as you said, walking is also great for staying fit. With nutrition I think it's very important to avoid carbonated drinks (Coca-cola usw) as they (and even the diet ones) are full of crap.

Just a quick update, Now down to 11 Stone 8 meaning that the next hurdle has been reached and lost 4 Stone in Total.

Still want to get down to 11 Stone which seemed a long way off at the start but now feel allot happier about myself so having my pig outs but by still doing the excercise i have been doing which means the weight isnt going back on.
