About Me

I have come into 2012 with a strong desire to be more healthy and reduce my weight to something more acceptable for a man of my age and height. On the 1st of Jan 2012 at the age of 45 and height of 6ft 2in, I weighed in at 18st 2lbs (that's 256 lbs or 116kg). I have a pretty large frame and have always been able to carry a bit of excess baggage but I think its time to do something about it for my health and energy levels more than anything else. The experts suggest that for a man of my height and age I should be about 13.5 st but I have set myself a target of 15 st (210lbs or 95kg) - thats a planned loss of around 3 st (46lbs or 20kg) This BLOG is a record of my attempt to achieve this goal and I have made it public to help keep me motivated and on track. If you have any comments, thoughts or ideas and suggestions please feel free to leave me a message..

Spritepost 29











The tank has been received back today and I am chuffed to bits with how it has turned out.

Thanks really has to go out to Piers Dowell (Piers Dowell Custom Paint Schemes) Tel 01568 750477 - also check out his web site at http://www.piersdowell.com/ for the type of work he completes.

Tomorrow will be the first run out with the bike in it's finished state at the BMCA trial at Wilderley- I am sue it wont be long before I am reporting a dent or a badly scratched tank but it is just how I imagined it would turn out and I am really pleased with it. I will post results and pics from tomorrow's trial tomorrow night.

Incase you will be there, it looks like I will have this and my Fantic on show at Alan Wright's Classic Bike Show in Feb at Malvern.
