My name is Darren and I've become a fat boy...

Welcome, friends, to the confessional post of a fat lad. This is only a short post so please, stick with it...
What you see before you (if you were in the room with me...which you're not...but try to imagine the scene...if you will...it'll only take a minute!) is a body that's out of shape. I've always been a big lad, don't get me wrong, but I once was a fitter specimen than is currently in front of this computer.
I will not explain the reasons why I am no longer able to get through a ninjutsu warm up, without sweat pouring from my head in a torrent of salty droplets, as they're many and varied. All I will say is that I will be using this blog as a log of my progress as I embark on the road back to greatness.
I will be aided in my journey by some wonderful people. Some of those people are also sadistic people, but then again, so am I!
Stay tuned to this channel and in the coming months I will update you with my progress, weight loss and improvements in stamina and general fitness. Hmmm, I've got a feeling that's it's going to be a long and bumpy ride!
