Hi.Hands up whos had weight issues? I have had since 2011 .just suddenly i noticed my body prepairing itself for a surboard again.my tummy is flatenning. Legs more trim and muscly. Eg. This has happened before when i was emotionally ill.put on 20 odd kgs.then suddenly it went.so i will return to my home reef break and surf again soon. Only thing im doing different is around half my daily diet is made up of home made fresh fruit salad.cheers. max

Hi nowhereman. Congrats on losing some of the weight you put on. It can be hard to lose weight for anyone. I have struggled with body issues and weight in the past. I lost 20kg because of an eating disorder and had to put at least half of it on. Now because of medication my normal body weight without trying is a bit higher than is used to be. I am not overweight however. I am now going tot he gym and trying to get fit and lose some weight, however I am trying to not focus on the weight but on my strength and how I feel. I am feeling better physically than I have in a while. It is great trying to not focus too much on the kg but on healthy eating and exercise. Congrats on the weight loss and keep u p the good work my friend

Thanks Ms Purple. Its harder cause my back coped a nasty surfing accident awhile back.two slipped discs.some slight nerve pressure.gets stiff and very painful and restricts what i can do. I really want a training partner.as my goal is to surf the reefs again. Max
