After Christmas I was 16st 5lb (I'm 54 and 6ft) so technically obese. The label didn't bother me but I realised that I was getting breathless after even minor exertion, so I resolved to lose weight. The plan was simple, to eat less food (basically sticking to 3 meals a day with smaller portions and eliminating all in-between snacking), cut down on alcohol, and take up some exercise. I've always enjoyed walking and to that I've added an exercise bike.
Four months later I'm 13st 12lb and feel so much better. I think anyone can do it, you don't need a faddy diet, but you have to really want to do it and have the determination or will power to see it through. And don't beat yourself up over the odd lapse here or there, just get back on with the programme!
That’s great progress. How often do you exercise, how long is each session and what’s the mix of bike/walk or other?
