Well done but now you need to start losing weight while eating.

I kind of mentioned that up there somewhere. Still carrying way too much weight but getting around isn't such a challenge and is helping. Presently shedding more kg is my top priority, for good or bad.

Thank you too, MUN. FWIW, the "diet" has been to eat a decent (but not gargantuan) brekky and then survive the rest of the day on water and tea. Nothing very sophisticated. Just pure energy balance. May not be "healthy" in the long term but that is not a huge priority right now. The ends justifies the means, IMHO.

Yep, reaches to the middle of my back or so.

Thought about getting a flat top for the summer? Keep the back bit, just go short on sides and spiky on top. Bit of gel. Would look proper.

Do you use olive oil on your hair to condition it? It works wonders for dry hair.

Amazing work!!!!!

Wow!

Thank you, BP.

[Fred Bloggs]

Wow- great effort. How have you worked out your goal weight?

Thank you. I am now at ~100kg. Down from ~120. Target is 72kg, but it is going to take a LONG time to get there. Pre-diabetes and fatty liver symptoms are now absent too as a bonus. BP has always been like a yoyo, I keep telling the quacks when they mention BP meds.

Are you sporting a pony tail round the back there?

Yep, reaches to the middle of my back or so.

lol. I shaved off my goatie many years ago and my hair currently reaches well passed my shoulders without a bald spot (at least for now), although it is greying at an alarming rate. Glad to see I cast such a flattering online image. Although being a fan of role playing games, board games, comics and computer programming rarely gives people a flattering image.

This is my wife and I before a night out a few months ago:

What is a lovely lady like that doing with a guy like you? You must be incredibly rich!

She's just lucky, I guess

We did the Jane Plan for 10 months & lost circa 4.5 stone each

4.5 stone - wow!!!

[Halo Jones]

BGG & I wanted to lose some weight we both were carrying a bit too much.

Exercise is difficult: ability for him, time for me.

The best thing about the plan is that it teaches portion control and makes you think about what you eat, which was a major failing for both of us.

BGG is now happy with where he is, I will probably do another round in a few months but at present we are on normal diets – well the new normal for us anyhow & are maintaining our current weights.

I'm not taking the piss out of you. I just had this mental image of you as being a fat balding metal head with a goatie. A bit like Rab C Nesbitt if he had GCSEs. That's how you come across on the internet if I'm not mistaken. But now I realise I was in the wrong and i'd like to apologise. But don't take it literally, if possible.

I've lost 20kg the last six months and indeed, the fat comes off from everywhere. My watch strap is now quite loose. I'm pleased about that as the clasp was getting popped open occasionally before. Doesn't do that now. I have maybe around another 27 - 28kg to lose but it is going to take a long time.

Amazing work!!!!!
