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..

Arielpost 9 - Finished!







Chuffed to bits!!!!

Richard (My Step Mum's Nephew) has certainly come up trumps with the paint job on the tank. He delivered today as promised and I am sure you will agree it sets the whole bike off perfectly..

Dad put the tank on and it fired up 2nd kick! I am sure that there is a bit of tinkering with carburation and timing but at least it's built and ready for its MOT tomorrow.

Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think. {Tommo - dont be too sad about selling it, at least you can visit every now and again}
