Lost 5st by running and eating healthily a few years ago. Had plantar fasciitis issues, stopped running, ate crap and put 3-4st back on. Bought a rowing machine as a present to by body in Jan 2018, aiming to lose 7 stone by my 50th. Then I shall eat cake.

Didn’t work but ate cake anyway. Stopped rowing in May 2018.
