Half The Man

Andrew

 Well what can I say, I’m 26 year old computer geek from Scotland. I created this blog because over the course of 2.5 years(2006-2008) I went from being a “slightly” heavy 30 stone, 420 pounds to those who don’t use metric, to a more respectable 15 stone or 210 pounds. Essentially I became half the man I used to be. You can read more about that here.

I spent my formative years in the Middle East before moving back to Scotland to finish high school. I currently work for a well known computer company as a Solutions Technician. In terms of technology I am interested in programming, software development, web design and gaming.

I divide my spare time between my gorgeous girlfriend Kayleigh and my hobby Clay Shooting. I am, and have been for the last 9 years, a member of the Scottish Shooting team in various disciplines.  My current focus is on Olympic Trap which hopefully one day will take me to the Olympics(fingers crossed).

 There’s not much to say about little old me… I’m ….twenty years old *cringe* no longer a teenager! I’m a student from Scotland, and a very patriotic scottish girl.   Im just about to start University to do a Social Science degree, I love everything Politics, Psychology and occasionally Philosophy, however, don’t ask me about History or Geography though, not my favourite subjects.

I split my time between my part time job as a customer researcher in a call centre, not the best job in the world but it can be a laugh at times, and Andrew … yeah him up there^^. My pride and joy is my little green car called Kermit and his froggy friend Kerroppi, an adorable pair.  Above all the most important thing to me is my family!

Two last little things, I have recently taken a keen interest in Clay Shooting, no prizes for guessing why. I plan on getting my gun license in the next few months and hopefully becoming good enough to shoot competitively. Lastly, although I have no “REAL” experience in losing a lot of weight, I do have experiences in “dieting” and having no will power to follow through. At the moment, I’m successfully losing weight and managing to continue with it even when I’m struggling. I suppose I have some experience in a more supportive role, in that I know what Andrew’s been through and try my best to help him when I can.
