Thanks everyone - I'm a bit slow in replying because I've been away all weekend. One of the things I did was to climb a 10m wall. I've never done anything like this before.

I was inspired by someone I knew who had dropped about five stone doing exactly what I've described in the opening post of this thread. I figured I'd give it a try, found it easy and just kept on with it.
I've always been a bit chunky but it took me twenty two years of married life to put on the weight I did. I put that down to contentment, easy living and a sedentary job behind a desk. Half a stone a year doesn't sound much but do that for over twenty years and one can end up a bit porky.
I've had a recent blood test and everything looks very good. My cholesterol is well in the healthy range, my HDL, LDL and triglycerides are spot on and my glucose level shows that I'm in no risk of developing diabetes. A well known doctor reckons I've added ten years to my life by doing what I've done.
Because I like it.
I didn't, it's just well hidden but I have a plan for that.
I'm done, I'm not going any further.
I threw away all my old clothes so that sort of picture isn't going to happen.Also you have to do a cheesy weight watchers type pic wearing those old shorts.
Depending on shoe manufacturer, I vary between a 10 and an 11. The brown shoes I'm wearing in the first post are a 10, the trainers in the picture in this post are a 10.5
Hats? I do have quite a few hats and all bar one, they still fit. My trilby is just too large now so I might sell it and get another one. Maybe.
See post 1.
Never claimed I wasImpressive! I suppose you are not big boned after all.
Naturally I feel better. I have more stamina, better endurance. I can walk for hours at a very fast rate and not be totally wiped out at the end - At the other end of the scale, I can walk up stairs without being totally out of breath when I'm done.
1. Too much - It doesn't help that I've restocked it twice now and need to do some items again.Few questions for me old mate.
1. How much has the new wardrobe cost ya ?
2. Has the Missus got all possessive with you now ?
3. You're getting plenty right ?
4. Does your old man still look the same as it did last time you saw it ?
2. Yup

I've said this in other places and it sounds stupid but it's true. You don't realise how much you weigh until you get on the scales. I hadn't been near a set of scales for years and although I'd thought that I needed to lose some weight, I had no idea how much. Then when I did, I started the "I really need to lose some weight" thing but hey, it's easy to put things off until tomorrow, isn't it?
