First day of the rest of my life :)

Hey everyone. Just thought I'd introduce myself.
Im probably like the gazillions of guys out there who most guys on here are repulsed by. I'm lazy, unmotivated, poor diet, pretend to the bees-knees when on a night out but despise what I see in the mirror beforehand. However, what I do have is a strong willingness to change. I've had a gym membership for 8 years (the last two with Bannatynes) and other than the first year, I've hardly been.
Eight weeks ago I had a disagreement with my partner and had to live back with my mum for a while. At 43, it's quite a shock to the system having to tell you're mum when you're home late
anyway, one of the ways I coped with this temporary estrangement (we're back together now) was to hit the gym. Even after only 8 weeks I've started seeing and feeling changes. I feel fitter, a little stronger but understandably not much in the way of physical changes. Although I have lost half a stone.
My body shape I think is probably 'skinny-fat' but I have extraordinarily wide shoulders. I require a 46" jacket but only have a 42-43" chest with a 32-33" waist. Therefore, I do think I have the building blocks for a reasonable physique. I'm not sure what my goals should be as I'm not entirely sure what's realistically achievable. So, there you go, that's me. I hope this is the beginning of a brand new me and lifestyle. Any help, advice, direction, pointers would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the Cult.

No-one here is repulsed, there's a lot of people who came here as "fatties", myself included. You've made the first steps on your journey and you'll find everything you need here.

What can you achieve? Anything if you want it bad enough.

I'm really looking forward to seeing a new me. How did you guys start off? Did you do the right stuff from the start? Did you take any 'before' pictures, measure limbs/tummy etc?
