Originally posted by expat View PostI'd need to change quite a bit of my life in order to use a gym. I suppose I could join one near work, and go after 8 pm a couple of nights a week. Before dinner, phone call home, and any piece of life for myself like reading a few pages of a book.
Food is problematical because I'm in hotels all week.

Join a gym. The cost is quite expensive and I find that a spur to use it, in order to get my money's worth. Esporta are good because membership gets you free usage of all their other gyms throughout the country(45 approx), which is great if you are travelling around as a contractor. Take up a sport such as tennis, squash or football. I now play 5 a sides with a load of other over 50s every week. We had a game at the Madjeski academy last week, and played on a tour to Athens in November. Great fun!!!
My diet consists of mainly porridge with skimmed milk for breakfast..... no fry-ups !!
No eggs, plenty of fruit, nuts and vegetables, fish, chicken and turkey.
No take-aways at all, but I do have the occasional curry at home.
Beer only at weekends.
Good Luck !!

At a similar height I've been sub 11 stone once in my life and people kept asking me if I were ill. Currently just within my BMI range at 80kg
