Hi all,

First up I'd like to introduce myself! I'm Will - yep I'm a dude. Been reading through the forums for a while and think you have an incredible community, decided it was time I said hello!

I gained 20kg (about 50lbs) this last year since moving to the city. I totally lost track of my training and diet and find accountability hard to find! Incidentally I am a fitness professional so it is hard for me to reach out locally as I'm under a lot of pressure to "have it together" hence finding great places online.

I track calories, so far 7kg down and another 15 or so until my target weight.

I have found in the past that bringing my own knowledge to the table has helped me sustain my motivation and efforts for longer.

So hello! hope I can offer some value on here and learn a thing or two from some success stories and past dieters.

Will.

Welcome Will! Jump in whereever you feel comfortable to get/give support, challenges or the like - there are a lot of helpful people especially if you are doing this on your own and need a sounding board as you go. Sometimes life gets in the way and the journey a bit tedious but it sounds like you are motivated to shove off those extra numbers. Good luck on your journey!

Thanks! Looking forward to getting involved

hey Will, I'm new also. Just joined today. I gained about 75 lbs over a 2 year period and I'm tired of being big. Started April 11th and lost 25 lbs so far
