New guy form North-east here. I topped the scales at 267lbs (just over 19st), that was a shock. I'm 5'10" and naturally stocky but should be around 178lbs according to BMI calcs.

So, I've resolved this year will be the year it goes off. I started a few weeks ago, with more exercise and healthy eating, cutting out all the bad stuff, counting calories, limiting carbs a bit and drinking lots of water.

As of today, I've lost 25lbs from when I started, have loads more energy and feel loads better. My gout has cleared up and dont feel half as hungry as before.

I realise that this is just the beginning as I've done this kind of thing before and stopped before I got anywhere near my target weight, a long road ahead

Only downside seems to be an unhealthy obsession with watching The Biggest Loser on sky!
Erm, anyway, sorry for the rambling and Hi!

Hiya!
