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 8 - Week 1 Done

Well, that's the first week over!

I usually find that the first 2 weeks of something new are the hardest. Mainly because it is a change of habits and your body seems to remember what you were doing before so the most important thing is to see results to make it worth while.

I got on the scales at 5.45am this morning because it was my first day of going to the gym before work. The result certainly made this week worth while..........drum roll........

I lost 9 lbs in my first week!! Now weighing at 17st 7lbs (245lbs or 111kg)

And here's the proof - (I plan to weigh in each Tuesday morning and will take a photo as evidence of how its going - same scales, same place, same clothes so its a consistent comparison)
