Hi I'm Mark.. 39 year old chap originally from Stafford living in Stoke On Trent. Married with 3 kids 6 cats and a dog!! I broke my left ankle in 7 places some years ago and after 3 attempts to correct the damage I'm still suffering with 2 breaks. It does cause pain and discomfort but I try not to let it stop me.. I am up at 6am most mornings.. and with housework and exercising I have little time to sit down. I like to keep busy.. I cook and clean and I enjoy ironing in front of the television watching documentaries on a large range of different subjects. I am at present 300lbs.. I'velost 8lbs in 3 weeks so far.. just watching what I eat.. cutting the snacks and biscuits out and cutting fatty greasy foods from my diet completely. With my 40th birthday looming in 10 months I have decided once and for all to lose weight and keep it off.. this is my journey.. into fitness.. well being and eating well but healthily.
