Okay, avatar now changed so that JohnnyCool can recognise me when we come to visit. Steff is still Steff ... he's still the tall bald guy with the goatee beard. I've sent a PM (I hope!) and will await your reply.
Yes Davita, I was approaching 50 and thought to myself, "If I don't do something about my weight/health, I won't make it to 51!" So the day I turned 50 I started a very strict weight loss regime, on my own with no medical intervention and no major exercise other than my usual casual walking every now and then. Now, here I am about to turn 55 and I'm still kicking and I've halved myself, literally. I did find 15kg again over the last year, during the stress of losing loved ones and then moving house. I now realise that must be some you didn't pick up for me ... you rotter you could have collected them all and disposed of them appropriately! teehee
However I'm on the right track again, only 8kg left to dispose of and I'm back to my healthy weight/size. I've won the biggest battle and I'm determined it will stay off, never to return to "round" again!
