My only worry is that now he's inactive, he's going to slip back into his bad ways and all his hard work fitness wise is going to come undone. I've always struggled with my weight, but am close to losing 5 stone and have taken up running. I know how I feel when I have just a week off any form of exercise and my nightmare would be picking up an injury. Just hope he doesn't let this get him down and he keeps it up because he's doing so well.
5 stone - wow! I was/am aiming to lose a stone and a half this year. Progress has been slow.
On Abdul, I read that he got a bit down and had a bit of self-doubt when he was struggling to get in your team last year. I think he should have picked up some confidence again from playing regularly, albeit in the championship. I'd put him our top 5 performers so far this season. Hopefully he'll be encouraged by that (not my endorsement specifically, necessarily) and make good decisions.
