Hey up, my names Brendan and I'm overweight (feels like an alcholics anonymous meeting). hehe
I'm 6'0" and weigh 198lbs and I've just turned 20. I've just spent the last 8 months travelling around Australia New Zealand and Thailand. When I set of last October I weighed 216lbs. Although I was overweight I did alot of walking at work. But after two months of drinking and sitting on a beach in Aus, my weight had'nt gone up, but my health had gone down (in two months I probably had 5 days where I didn't drink any beer) and I looked a bit worse than this;
After 6 motnhs in New Zealand where I did a lot less drinking (In three months there were only about 5 days where I had some beer) I started running and eating healthy my weight came down to its current 198lbs and I now look like this;
I've now been back at home 3 weeks, and have forced myself to get out there and get running again,(did 2 1/4 miles everyday this week and jus steped up to 3 1/4 miles today) I'm also in charge of cooking now so its salad for dinner every night now and when I get a job i'll start going to the gym to do weights and a few aerobic sesssions.
I'm aiming to get down to 175lbs and want to run a mile and a half in 10mins, would also like to take part in a long distance run at some point. I've always had a large waistline and now I'm going to banish it once and forever!
