I'm overweight, very much so, and three weeks ago, after a health fair at work I decided it needed to change.

So I started eating all healthy and more important. PROPERLY. Started doing my own walks (2.15 miles in 45 minutes before work weather depending) and picked up the courage to walk into our local gym and say 'help'.

I was so very nervous going in at first, I saw lots of young, fit men and my heart sunk into my gut, thoughts running through my empty noggin' of what they'd think of me etc. But I still went in and the gym staff are lovely.

That was three weeks ago, I just got back from the gym after doing 30 minutes of shadow boxing and pad work followed by a 4 mile bike ride.

In three weeks i've lost nearly a stone.

Not bad for three weeks of just walking, eating proper and starting to exercise. I know its a long and hard road, but I'm gonna stick to it.
