Geordie's quest for health

Hi everyone,

I am a new member to the site but have browsed in the last 6 months and have found it helpful so I thought I would join.

I am a 31 yr old male 5'8" tall, 195lbs.

I live in Durham, Eng. But I am originally from Newcastle hence "Geordie".

At the start of the year I was a shocking 220lbs, so started a 10 mile daily bike commute to work which has seen a 25lbs loss so far.

I am pushing for the 165lbs mark in the next year, so I thought a diary would help keep me focussed.

I have just joined a gym with the intention of going 3 to 4 times per week.

Please feel free to say hello.
 
Welcome to your diary and being a member here.

I am a geordie too. What part of Newcastle are you from. I am from Fenham.

Congratulations on the weight loss so far. Good luck with the rest of your project.

My good friend Cord is running an exercise based challenge and I know that he would love to have you joining in. It seems an ideal fit for you with your cycling. Why not check it out. It is called something like MPH (miles, pounds, hours).
 
Hi Geordie!

I have actually been to Durham - my husband is from Stannington, if you can believe that.

Welcome, and congratulations on your progress so far!
 
Welcome to the site Geordie they place has really help me understand some things like keeping track of what i stick in my mouth on fitday and keeping up my diary.

Enjoy your stay and good luck

but as a born and bred Geordie I feel it is my duty to support the local economy in the credit crunch, when i do have a beer.
