I'm close to 46, and was kinda shocked when I weighed in at 14 stone 4, I'm 5 10 tall and was a slight build, used to just eating like a gannet and never putting on any weight, (I used to be around the 10 stone mark forever)

Still got skinny arms/legs but a umm 'rounder' body so I've started on a diet/exercise session. Apparently I'm supposed to be around 12.5 stone or so, but I'm going to aim for 13 stone and then 'review' I understand as a 46 yr old that I'm not gong to expect a body like a 25 yr old.

Week 1, I lost 6 pounds, so am now at 13 stone 12, which isn't bad for a start, i'll see again next Tuesday what Week 2 results are.

Exercise wise, I'm walking, and we just got a exercise bike/sit-up bench and some dumbbells, which I think will work ok (being ripped/muscly doesn't interest me, but being 'not porky' does)


Food intake, I'm being really careful about fat/diary products, eating a lot of stuff like eggs/porridge/chicken/fish

Stuff which was an eye opener was Bread, i'm eating raisons/fruit more instead of sweet stuff/cakes

I guesstimate I'm doing between 1,000- 1,500 calories/day (ish)

I'll let you guys know how it goes, hopefully I'll hit 13 stone within a month or so.
