Hey guys i want to first and foremost introduce myself. My name is James, im 28 years old from a little regional town in Australia 🇦🇺. My main downtime pleasure is going to war with the iron (doesnt sound relaxing i know). For me, the gym has been the one thing that i could always count on, whether i was sad, happy, angry or heartbroken. We all know sometimes life has a way of beating us down, for me this came over the last 6 years as i unfirtunately allowed myself to slowly creep up to over 112kg (247lb). I knew it was time to take action. Just in this last 15 months alone i have managed to lose over 35kg of that weight (more than happy to offer the bluepront on how i did this) Throughout the past 10 years i have also had my fair share of mental struggles and i still do battle every single day and i am very open and vulnerable about this so please dont hesitate to open up if you need to and feel comfortable doing so (its a massive thing to talk about and im so so proud of you everyday you fight for a better life 🫶) Lastly i wanna say thankyou again for this opportunity and i cannot wait to make some new friends heading into 2026 💪
