The People's Forum: well done!

you've done realy well so far just keep on trucking.

one thing I will say is this

the BMI metric is basically outdated. I have been in hospital recently and I was 125 kg which is morbidly obese. however I have a high proportion of lean tissue and relatively low bodyfat - BMI just works out weight vs height.

the best market fo rme is waist size. If that is moving down you are losing fat. really simple.

you've done the hardest bit mate starting nd getting going. I think you are giving yourself a sensible achieveable target of sy 18kg in 6 months.

if you can try and do a session of some resistance work- the doctors told me all things being equal as you get older the more lean tissue and strength you have the better set you will be as you age.

if I can offer any advice just ssk!

but above all well done!

oh get a decent multivit to cover the bases! I recommend solgar as really good.

So for the last month I've been following a new far healthier diet made up of grilled chicken breast, tuna, rump steak (Friday treat!!) wholewheat pasta, baked potatoes and pesto to flavour the pasta. I have also cut the amount of crisps, chocolate and coke I drink by 50%. to 50g, 120g and 1 litre respectively.

I've also been following a strict exercise regime comprising daily of approx 3km walking for 45 mins and burning in excess of 200 calories and really pleased that I haven't missed a walk once in the last month.

My stats for last week, which were comparable to the previous three, were,

Exercise Duration 6h 16 mins
Calories Burnt 1,920
Distance Covered 23.01 km
Average Daily Steps 6,059

Average Daily Calorie intake 1,766

I currently weigh 117.8kg and I'm aiming to get that down to 100kg by the. end of the course in mid December meaning I am classed as only fat not obese reducing my risks of strokes and heart issues.

What happened to the Atlantic Chuncky Chaps or whatever it was called?
