As we're similar in age i was interested as I'm stuck at 90kg and 6ft 2

Agree with you Phil, it definitely gets harder to lose weight as we age....

I was 95.5kg on the 1st Jan 2020, 87.3kg on the 1st Jan 2021, and am trying to get below 80kg before I hit the big half-century in August... this will then give me a decent target to try and stick below....

8kg + is no mean feat so far!

I had my first session back at the gym on Tuesday first proper leg day since December

Only today I have got complete control of my legs again. For 3 days my quads, glutes and hamstrings have been hurting horrendously - affected my sleep for a couple of nights - hobbling up and down the stairs and even struggling to get off the bog!

No pain; no gain right?

Sounds like you’ve been pushed to far to me!

Probably! I was excited to be back at the gym and was pushing myself quite a lot. We finished a few minutes early as she said that I was steaming from my head (gym was very cold too)... I regret nothing but reserve the right to moan.

Well for the first time in around a year I’m beginning to feel more like my old self.
It’s been a real struggle at times.
I’m fasting from 7.30pm through till around 12.00 and training 5-6 days per week.
Muscle building, fat losing, feeling pretty good

Started the year at 15St 7lbs and set off at the beginning of February with 3 goals

  1. Lose a stone
  2. Get under 200lbs
  3. Hit 13St 7lb by Le Mans
This morning happy that goals 1 & 2 have been achieved, even happier as this achievement isn't linked to cutting out alcohol.

I have gone for a more level plan, reduce alcohol, control food intake and exercise more and happy that this is driving a slow but concistent movement in the right direction.

Now to head for the last goal, helpful that Le Mans has been moved out, I will still try to hit the June date especially as the weather improves I can get out on my bike more.

Weight 70.8kg
Fat 15.6%
BMI 21.4
Water 64.8%

Weight: 70.5kg
Fat: 15.0%
BMI: 21.5
Water: 63.4%

Monthly check in... Staying fairly consistent and it is paying off. The dramatic weight loss has innevitably slowed right down for me now. Stomach has flattened and my back fat is diminishing pretty nicely... Getting a hint of top and lower abs which is pretty cool. My chest neck and shoulders have got "toned" and a little bigger which makes the weight loss a little less noticeable - also my cloths aren't really fitting me properly, trousers too big and crew neck T shirts are too tight around my chest/shoulders/arms

From 1st June I have decided to step up the PT sessions from 1x 30min session per week to 2x mostly as I am starting to get used to the onslaught and not fatigued for 5 to 6 days until the next session.

Keep it up, chap. Still moving in the right direction
