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 3

So I took some embarrassing photos today - the ones that you put on the fridge to stop you sneaking in there and pinching food between meals!

I also took measurements of my body to see how my body changes shape under a different diet/health/fitness program.

These are the awful start point and for me, as bad as it is going to get!

I will take reference pictures throughout the year to see how it is going and how things change - perhaps each month will be a good timeline for pictures and measurements but I will update the weight each week to track progress.

So here's the start point;

Neck - 17.5in
Chest - 48.5in
Waist - 44.5in
Right Bicep - 14in
Left Bicep - 13.5in
Right leg (quads) - 22in
Left leg (quads) - 24in
(Difference in leg size is down to a knee ligament injury that I sustained about 4 weeks ago and have been protecting the joint for some weeks so expected some muscle wastage)

Weight - 18st 2lbs (256 lbs or 116kg)

.....and this is how bad all that looks!
