I'm a Scotsman living for the last 11 years in China. I used to be really fit back in my early 20's. I was climbing mountains, racing bicycles, and was in the Territorial Army so I was properly fit. Then came work and a desk job 60 hours a week for 10 years. My waist just grew steadily all the time. By 2005 I was 130kg. I moved to China and the change of lifestyle and work did allot. I dropped to 99.5kg by the end of 2006. However, as I became more adapt to the life, I started to put on weight again and for the next five years hovered around 120kg. Sometimes up 2kg or down 2 kg but fairly constant. In 2013 I decided to make an effort to get back into shape using this site.
