Hi All,
Just thought I'd introduce myself to the group since that's what I'm meant to do!
I'm 21 and a law student in Leeds, UK. I have the occasional sporty moment like playing rugby at school or doing some archery but never really stuck with anything in a big way!
I've never really been massively overweight and I have quite a 'big build' anyway so I guess it doesn't really show too much... until I take my shirt off, etc. Anyways, I've decided to do something about it. I'm in the fortunate position to have a 'home gym' in the sense that I have a rowing machine, exercise bike and weights bench in my house. Of course, I'm also in the unforunate position of being a bit lazy and liking my ben and jerrys' a bit too much. Of course, that's to change starting tomorrow.
I've already lost about half a stone in the last few months but then put on a pound in the last week as a result of failing to do exercise and the aforementioned draw towards ben and jerry's
My aim is to get my BMI into the healthy range - seeing as I'm 5'10", I have to drop my weight from 184lb to about 168.
I'm planning on doing this by implementing three rather rational theories:
-Cut out the little snacky things that I buy when I'm bored
-Cut out the alcohol! Apart from social events when the occasion calls for it
-Start doing the exercise again
So yes, that's pretty much me and my plan for taking control of my body again
