About Me

I have come into 2012 with a strong desire to be more healthy and reduce my weight to something more acceptable for a man of my age and height. On the 1st of Jan 2012 at the age of 45 and height of 6ft 2in, I weighed in at 18st 2lbs (that's 256 lbs or 116kg). I have a pretty large frame and have always been able to carry a bit of excess baggage but I think its time to do something about it for my health and energy levels more than anything else. The experts suggest that for a man of my height and age I should be about 13.5 st but I have set myself a target of 15 st (210lbs or 95kg) - thats a planned loss of around 3 st (46lbs or 20kg) This BLOG is a record of my attempt to achieve this goal and I have made it public to help keep me motivated and on track. If you have any comments, thoughts or ideas and suggestions please feel free to leave me a message..

Post 19

I had a bit of a treat last night at the Chinese restaurant and as it was an 'all you can eat' affair I probably over did it a little so this morning was time to get out in the cold and burn it off.

I went out for a run/power walk with the dog and covered about 5-6 miles at quite a good pace. I certainly got the blood flowing and burned the food from the day before off!

I was curious to see what impact the diet and exercise regime along with the MonaVie trial has had on the size of my body in physical terms. I knew that my clothes were feeling looser and more comfortable but when you see yourself every day in the mirror it is hard to judge what change has taken place.

I therefore got my wife to take some pictures this morning in a similar position to the start photos and I even wore a pair of pyjama bottoms and stood in the same pot in the kitchen so that I could draw comparisons as closely as possible.

Here are the start and week 4 photos side by side to see the difference;

I am pleased with the results so far - as you can see, some of the bulk from my middle has gone and I am looking a lot 'flatter'. In addition I have lost some size from my face and neck and although you cant see it here, my legs have trimmed down and got a lot stronger.

Here's looking forward to the next 4 weeks to see the next comparison!
