Owen is my name and I'm 52 and live in Emerald Queensland. I love camping, mountain biking, fishing and kayaking so recently purchased a used Sherpa camper top and am in the process of adapting my dads 25 year old 7 x 4 box trailer to accept the top. I should say I now love all things outdoors but only 3 years ago I was nudging 180kgs and had the type 2 diabetes bad so after having enough I had a Lap Band fitted and so far have lost 75kgs and best of all have reversed the diabetes. Everyday I get out on either the mountain bike or the cross trainer and go hard trying to improve my health and hoping to reach retirement age and beyond.
Congrats on all counts here, well done. Welcome to myswag, enjoy the ride.
