Just saying hello.

...I just wanted to encourage you to strength train as well. It sounds like you've figured that out, though. Congrats on your success and keep up the good work.

Yes, that is why i am going to the gym. I am hoping that strength training will result in some weight gain. Is that why you would encourage it? I started off training at home, following a plan i found on the internet by a guy called Scooby Werkstatt. I came across him when i was looking for something suitable for an older person. I am 48. Although his stuff was working for me, it was becoming uncomfortable doing it at home with my wife around.

I was losing so much weight - as everyone who hadn't seen me for a while kept remarking - that i began to worry that i was going to end up skin and bones. I never intended the strength training thing when i started, but i am going to give it a go and see how it works out.

All this fitness stuff has never been my bag. I am more your hippy/bohemian type. I am not afraid of broadening my horizons though! Especially if it furthers the cause of getting me to a happier and more puposeful place...or something like that.
