Well, at the beginning of this month, I weighed myself. I was 17st 6lbs (244lbs / 111kg). I didn’t like it. I wanted to change it. So I ate less, (eventually) joined the gym, walked a bit more and a bit faster, and despite a rather messy night out in Manchester, and a week where myself and my family were under so much stress it was hard not to turn to the bottle. And here we are a month on.
Weight 1st Jan 2009: 17st 6lbs
Weight 27th Jan 2009: 16st 8lbs (232lbs / 105kg)
In short, a whopping Krypton Factor of 12lbs lost! Hooray! And – considering the month I’ve had, a fucking achievement!
Probably the most scary thing about the whole experience is the change in me. I remember when I was 15 stone something, and I had zero confidence, and I felt fat. I remember when I was tipping the scales at 16 stone, and I felt like I had zero confidence. Now, even though I’m 8lbs heaver than at my previous heaviest, I feel a lot more confident. Maybe because my arms are a little bigger, maybe because a few people have said (including some ladies 
) that I’m a little more toned. Maybe, just maybe, I actually feel….dare I say it….sexy?
2009 is going to be a big year for me this year. I can just feel it. A few people have kinda said a few things to motivate me and I don’t want it to feel like life is passing me by.
To those who have said those things – thank you. And I’ll be sure to do you proud!

good for you dude! just make sure you keep it up!
after a month of going to the gym i depressingly lost no weight… i’ve cut right back on booze and eating crap too! im guessing i must just be turning fat into muscle…. thats the only explanation
Oooooh, do this, do this, i wish i had when i lost funkloads of weight – do the whole taking a photograph of your face every couple of days, and then in 6 months make a time lapse style video of your face disappearing.
Keep it up dude – being thin rocks
Wow, I’m impressed! You are capable to make everything happen, never forget that.
. xxoo
I think you should do like your friend told you. Take a new pic every week/month and you will see the change. Of course you’re sexy! If you feel sexy, you are sexy =).
Keep up the good work! When I come to visit we can do Wales, being light and sexy
Congratulations! Keep it up! You can do it!
I’m struggling with the same as you. But Im going swimming tomorrow!
