Thread: Hi from Batley

Hi everybody. Thought I had better introduce myself.

I live in Batley and really I am just getting back into fitness and building my body up. I used to go the gym regularly a few years ago and got good definition, but not a lot of bulk, I am a naturally skinny person who can eat anything and just doesn't put on weight.

I have started my first steps back onto the fitness regime this weekend by stopping smoking, and so far I am doing OK.

I work as a job search tutor with the long term unemployed, which can be quite stressful at times, so that keeps the weight down too.

One of my hobbies might seem strange to many, I review men's and women's fragrances on various on-line forums.

It's good to be here and already I feel motivated just by reading some of the threads in the forum.

Welcome to the Forum. Good luck with giving up smoking, your first step to a new life! There's a lot of people on here with good fitness knowledge, so if you need any advice, state your goals and ask away.

Hi Barry and welcome.

Thanks guys for the welcome. The stopping smoking is going well and even though I am not overweight, I am starting to eat more healthy stuff as well. Next step is joining a local gym again and building up and losing a thin layer of fat from my abs.

i gave up smoking two weeks ago and i feel fantastic. the only thing is i have replaced the cigs with an addiction to caffine lol. ahhh well the lesser of the two evils. welcome to the forum

Thanks for the encouragement Machine...we will both beat the smoking habit.

BTW, my avatar is a very recent pic of myself.
