As i said in my original post (above ) i want to lose weight for more than 1 reason, primarily because i want to live longer, this will also have the added benefit of giving me more time (years) to practice Kendo and iai and be with my wife , she reckons she dont look good in widows weeds

secondly it will have the additional benefit of making it easier to improve my stamina again benefiting my kendo

self image does play a relatively small part .............it makes it easier to get clothes to fit if you are not a short FF(see above) like me am 5foot 9 tall

well according to my Docs charts, i should be around about 166lb or (12stone for the civilized)
BUT the nurse in the surgery estimates this would be to light and 13 stone would be more realistic thats 186lb ...Hell at the moment id be happy with 14stone thats 196lb

Going to try for 12.5 stone thats 175lb to keep the Doc happy

What really did it was called into have my blood pressure checked, was weighed by the nurse who asked if i had done any serious sport , replied yes used to do Judo when i fought in the under 72 kg (thats 159lb) so she sez oh put on a QUARTER of your body weight since then havent you !!

that was a bit of a salutary comment and one hell of a shock


Dont eat junk foods or at burger bars dont drink beers or larger etc but Gotta do it ..................not because i need to but because i want to
