My heaviest weight was a colossal 30st 7lbs

That was over 10 years ago and vowed never to go back to that so ate healthily and dropped 12 stone.

I have gained here and there but also lost and at 6ft 3 find myself fine at around the 16 and a half stone mark.

I was 18 and a half stone when I first met my wife then gained 3 stone after that, now been back to healthier lifestyle for a while and now at just over 19 stone I am getting there.

Until you have had issues like this then nobody knows just how hard it is.

Fat I consider myself but compared to 2002 then I suppose a hell of a lot slimmer and healthier...

Once again good post Alan...
