hope to lose 2 stone by xmas

right i have just had 7 months on my arse due to a complete knee ligament reconstruction (second operation on same knee). my weight has gone up to 15 stone 9!!

i should be around 14 stone. my height is 6 foot 5.

due to the knee still being in recovery the only exercise i can do is cycling, swimming etc nothing that puts too much pressure on my knee.

i have also bought a speed ball and some dumbells and a bench press.

i hope to include pictures of my overweight body in the hope that people will help me in my quest to lose weight!

i hope to put up my weight each friday night. i will be doing exercise every mon, tues, thurs and friday (cycling, weights etc)

then on saturday and wedsnesday i will be doing sit ups just to relax.

please post any comments. i am fully expecting the 'i need a bigger bra jokes' but i have realised that i need to do something now my knee is on the mend and fully intend to be at my ideal weight by xmas and back in the ring in the new year!

set my self a decent target i think!

can anyone tell me how i post pictures please? i have got them on inage shack but how do i get them in this thread?

 

i will also post my weekly weight lose results on a monday.

if i can figure out or someone can tell me how to do pictures i will post a new pic each month! i think this will be a huge motivator as at the min its not looking good!!!
