I don't think I've ever posted here, anyway, hello.

I am 5ft 10 in at around 13 stones. I am quite a busy guy but I've recently decided to put my health first. Being quite busy has influenced my eating habbits (fast food, not getting much excercise etc etc). I used to smoke but I've given up ( I do have the ocassional pull once a week probably ).

A few years ago I was diagnosed with depression which resulted in medication. During this time, I put on around 2 stones. I've noticed that my appetite has increased but as I'll be off them soon, it should be back to normal.

Basically I am after some advice really to get back on track. Generally I'd like to get rid of my belly and bulk up. I find it hard now to refused fast food ( I think I am addicted to it ) Recently I've been trying hard to avoid it and its been working. I eat at stupid times, recently I snack at night.

I'll be starting my industrial placement next month which would mean Monday-Friday 9-5 with the possibility of being stressed out and doing overtime. The commute won't help. Anyway, am after some suggestions to some of the problems I am faced with.

Thanks - be gentle ;)
 
Get a nice bike, get riding!!
A healthier diet + 20-30 miles a week and you'll feel and look better :D

Find some riders near you, either from here, or go to www.mtbbritain.co.uk/forum to meet some good lads for a ride and a drink afterwards.

Hope this helps, Dan

EDIT: If you havnt got a clue just ask on here or MTBB saying your budget and someone will find something :D

Box hill is surrey isnt it?

Apparently its pretty good down there.

A few hours with the breeze in you hair and flying down some hills, eventually flying over table tops will take the stress away and help you lose some weight.

:D
 
How far is the commute and do they have showers?

Biking on the commute is great if the distance is within reason. Even if it's not, just ride the last few miles. It works wonders for your mood and you'll get fit very quickly as a result.

I started on a 4 mile commute last year taking 35 mins and within 6 months I had it down to 16. Perseverance is the key.

The other benefit of the commute is that you don't have to worry about exercising at any other time. The commute is something that needs done anyway, so it makes sense to benefit from it.
