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 20 - End of Week 4


The last couple of days have been a little pay back for the Chinese treat on Saturday night.

On Sunday I went for a fast paced walk/run with the dog for around 2 hours and yesterday (Monday) i hit the gym for a pure cardio session comprising of rowing machine, static bike, cross trainer and treadmill (15 mins each).

I have stuck rigidly to the program with MonaVie shakes for breakfast and lunch, snacks of fruit (usually grapes and apples) and healthy evening meals comprising of meat and vegetables with little or no carbs.

I expected the worst after the last week where my eating wasn't as good as it could have been but really pleased to say another 3 lbs lost.

So we are now at the end of the 4th week or 1st calender month and that is 22lbs lost.

My weight is now 16st 8lbs (232 lbs or 105 kg)
