What for, are you entering an Ultimate Fighting Competition or something?

Can't you just drink Beer instead? Much more fun.

Funnily enough I was 13+ stone, now just over 9 1/2, add to that diabetes and it's going to be some job getting it back, but I won't be looking at a year, when they have finished chopping me up and I can crack on with physio, I'll play with the multi-gym and my diet (although beer could be a major part of the equation).

Cheers Mark.
