I'm in the Royal Navy and currently working in London. I have basically been enjoying the service life a little too much for about 7 years, and it has done my weight no favours! I have had two injuries over the passed 5 years, which have seriously impaired my ability to do most fitness acticities. Unfortunately I didn't stop eating the amount of food that I would normally eat, and the pounds piled on. I am now ready (after having a spinal op) to get my butt into action and shift this extra weight. I have one great advantage about being in the RN, we don't have to pay to use our gyms. I'm going to take advantage of this and try to get to the gym every working day. I just want a better quality of life, and to be able to shop in Monsoon without looking at the size first instead of the price! I would also like to make my husband proud, as I actually weigh more than him at the moment, which is embarrassing to say the least! I have a long old slog ahead of me, but I am determined to do this!
