Hi I'm new here

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd pop on & say hello ... my username means World's Strongest Man Fan, just in case anyone was curious or thought it meant Weston-Super-Mare.

I’m a middle aged woman with what some consider to be an unhealthy obsession (I call it passion) for Strongman & all things weight lifting related.

Having Adult ADHD has cost me a number of jobs over the years & I actually got let go from last my job because I was told I wasn't suitable to the role, as I'm too lively - so I have recently taken stock & decided it's time to look for a new line of work.

I lost 11stone between 2012 & 2014, got into lifting (powerlifting back then) & from about 2015 my health has declined & weight has crept back up, so I’m aiming to re-lose 2stone.

I’m here to lose weight & maybe learn more about Adult ADHD along the way.

Anyway thanks for reading. I’m sure you’ll be hearing from me again soon
