Good evening Ladies & Gents. I need to write this somewhere, and this looks like the right place. Sorry to bore you, just ignore me if I start twittering on!
The story of how first...
Here's where it all began, I've been overweight from about 10/11 years old when I quit rugby and put a bit of weight on. I was fat throughout secondary school, without being mega fat. I started to pile it on good and proper at around 16/17 when all the nights out & kebabs arrived on the scene. Quickly reaching the 19 stone mark.
I started going to the gym and playing 5 aside football with my mates to shed the pounds as we had booked a lads holiday and it would have been nice to be in reasonable shape for it! I got down to about 17 stone, still fat, but feeling better and stronger by the day.
On returning from the two week lads holiday, the first 5 aside sesh was a grueller and I hurt my knee going in for a 50/50 challenge. it took too many professionals far too long to diagnose a torn cartilage in my right knee, which put me out of exercise and on the lagers for about 14 months in all. I had my operation and afterwards i was too nervous to play, because of the knee and my weight soared up to the 20 stone mark.
Instead of trying to lose some weight before playing again, I started playing 6 aside and tore the cartilage in my left knee this time. Gutted. Out for a while again, had my operation and have never really played since. My weight has since fluctuated quite a bit.
On the 1st January 2010 I weighed 21st 2lbs.
Here are my current vital statistics - I'm a 6ft tall, 23 year old, weighing in at 20st 1lb.
I don't really have a goal weight, because I don't know what I weigh when fully fit. I'm a reasonable build so I guess it will be about 14 to 15 stone.
Starting in the morning, I'm changing it all and starting on the road to being fit.
I'll be parking my car 4 miles away from work and walking to work in the morning and back to it in the evening. I've been strengthening my knees for a month, so don't worry about picking injuries up!
And i'll be eating right as well. I'll be able to really kick on in the new year as christmas will get in the way. But that is the last distraction on my mission. A mission i'm determined to complete.
I'll come on here and update my weight every week.
I hope I can keep it up, and any advice or tips would be very welcome!
