Counting down the days till the 9th, I'm so ready for this PT to start. Being on my birthday too I see it as one year older and the beginning of the change I've needed/wanted for so long. The confidence must be flowing, I've got on this online dating lark as well, but being up front on my current state and what I'm about to embark on personally with weight loss. Had a couple of good conversations so far, but fuck me it's hard work. Granted as well, going on these apps as a bigger lad is like playing Halo 3 on Legendary. Difficult! Baby steps though. Haha with you there Chiggers on the dating site lark! Although i still think I’m fairly slim I don’t think others see me like that especially if they’ve known me for years. Best of luck on the PT thing and keep us updated on progress👍🏻 |

Thanks mate, exactly the sort of post I wanted to hear!! How long have you been on the meds and how old were you when you started if you don't mind me asking? Off and on about 12 years or so - I was late 40s I don’t suppose it matters what helps as long as it’s (mainly) legal. If whapping off the old chap, dipped in peanut butter, dressed in a tutu and leopard print tights keeps you level then go for it. |

Stepped on the scales this morning, was well chuffed! Even before PT and the meal plans have started, I'm down 5lbs to 17st 4lbs now since I initially posted at 17st 9lbs at the end of April. Just cutting out additional crap from my diet has done wonders. So feel like I've got a great launch pad now  |

Right boys, bricking it a bit. Stupid for it. So I seem to be speedrunning this online dating thing because I've got a first date with someone in half hour so be setting off shortly. All ready to go. Think it's just hit me that I've somehow fluked getting into this situation, surely. It'll probably go better than I think, cause it is meeting someone I've never met from an app so that in itself is worthy of wearing brown pants for. I shall report back to my Oatcake bretheren about how good or catastrophically bad this goes  |

Right guys Less said about that one, the better So aside from feeling like a catfish from her photos, that date was the fucking textbook definition of no chemistry at all. Which is the total opposite to chatting on the app with her, and effectively zilch in common with her as it transpired so there was nothing redeeming about the meet whatsoever. Overall, 1/10. 1 Point for the water and lemon slice I had (which I got judged for for Christ's sake even after explaining why I'm now drinking more water!) |

Well, today marks the beginning of the year of change.
I turned 26. It's been a low key affair. I've booked work off for today and Friday so I get some peace and quiet to myself. Though it's an early start tomorrow as my car is getting a nice proper valet at 8am. Clean sailing after that.
Need to go down to the Stoke shop and pick up my pre-order for the black away. Had the white away pre-order as a present. All I really wanted. Happy bunny indeed.
I received my exercise and nutrition plans from the PT earlier, as well as demonstration videos. I'm seeing him for a chat about the plan on Saturday with starting next thursday. It was going to be this thursday but he had a mix up in scheduling with his other clients.
Now it's finally starting to really sink in that I'm embarking on a journey which there can be no turning back from if I'm to be serious about it.
I know the end result is going to be worth the sacrifices I'll be making to the too easy a lifestyle I've had.

I know I’d struggle to be so dedicated. Oh and many happy returns🦡 |

Well, first week of PT was fantastic!
I’ve done my mid week weigh in today and we’ve got from 111kg to 109.1! Really, really happy with that and long may this continue.
Macros are hard to get used to, not the eating stuff part because some of the recipes are fantastic, but making sure I hit the macro and calorie goal. I was under a bit last week but cracking it so far this week.
