Thanks so much for the comprehensive reply @Guzzi I like the sound of the 4 week challenge and will look into maybe doing this. Yeah I think it's going to be a few days of reading through all the info you've linked me to and generally getting to know the forums. Excited though and already glad I joined.

@Guzzi hahaha hello fellow Scot! The only reason I use pounds is it motivates me more as there are more increments than stone or kilos so when I lose weight it feels like I am losing a lot (and I need the motivation haha). 5 lbs lost sounds a bit better to my ear than 2 kilos. Thanks for the heads up. I'll give that a check. Super noob at the moment, a bit overwhelmed where to even start!

Hi all, So, I am getting married August 5th in Spain and I really want to be in the best possible shape I can be before then. I am 30 years old, 5'10 and weight about 183lbs. My problem areas are my gut and a pretty unsightly double chin that I can't stand (I can't remember the last time I voluntarily got a photo taken of myself) Looking to melt some fat and generally tone up. Ideally I'd like to accomplish without a gym membership and working out from home. I have a pull up bar which can also be converted to a dip station and a set of dumbells which I'm hoping will be enough. So any bodyweight based workouts would be ideal (I can barely do 15 push ups!) Let me know if you need any other information in order to provide any advice, also happy to post a few 'before' shots to give an idea of where my body is at the moment. Thanks all and hope to be a regular to the community. David.

Hi all, I'm David and I'm 30 years old from Glasgow, Scotland. I'm 5'10 and about 183lbs. While I am not obese I am definitely carrying some extra weight especially around my gut and my face/chin area. I am getting married on August 5th in Spain and I would love to be able to change my body as much as I can before the big day. Some research online brought me here so today I am laying it all out in my first post and hope to keep everyone updated with my progress in the lead up to the wedding. I would love some help, support and encouragement along the way. Scary few months ahead but here goes nothing. David.
