Nice one!!

Well done, both on the running and the weight loss (though I know just what you mean when you say it's the running that feels like the achievement to you )

Great work. Always good to see someone do so well and have loads of enthusiasm as a result.

Keep the great feeling of achievement in mind as you progrtess as it will get harder and harder to shift the pounds the more you progress. When this happens you will really need to focus on diet just as much if not more than exercise to reach your goals imo.

All the best

Briliant news Hrun keep up the good work

Thanks for all the support folks.

I am aware that the weightloss will slow although if I keep the calories in down it should be steady. Even so the additional running should mean that I keep toning up and since I am 6' 2" I can carry some extra weight for a bit.

Biggest reason for the rapid start is I am not drinking as much either.

Great stuff Giles, I'm glad to hear the forum has been useful to you, but ultimately it's been you that's put in the hard work, effort and determination - and thankfully they've paid off! Keep us all updated with your future progress too
