Hello there! I've got a strange reason for losing weight!

[chubbyroman]

Hi,

Just thought I'd pop in and say hello, having been reading this board for the last week.

I'm from Cheshire, England and am currently finishing my training as an Archaeologist. To supplement my income, I've just got a new job teaching kids about the Roman military, and as such have to wear an exact replica of the Roman uniform, sword shield and all. It weighs a tonne, especially after an hour of walking! I've decided to lose some weight and get healthier, as I don't think a chubby Roman soldier is too historically accurate!

I'm also getting married in August, so want to look my best for the wedding!

Good Luck everyone!

Tony.

You'll look so good in your outfit, you'll want to wear it at your wedding, maybe!

[fingers crossed]
