I was hooked on the size thing for years and when I came back from uni I was always half a stone heavier each term. Ended up just under 18 stone at one point.

It's the complete opposite now, my working and family life have taken over and I train in my garage when I can. I weigh just under 15 stone and just concentrate on trying to train and enjoying it.

There are days when I see pictures of others or see another big guy in the street and I do cast my mind back and wish I was into it again.

Hopefully one day I will be...........
