Hi David,

good for you

Although I've never been overweight * I've followed a reghime for
the last 40 years and weigh exactly the same as when I started. 56kg
(slightly more than a 98lb weakling).=20

I live in a suburb where I can cycle just about everywhere, and
further afield. This gets my metabolism up and gives the cardio
system a good regular workout. My vitals are better than average

I'd say my diet is calorie-restricted, which you get used to. As long
as you get the necessary minerals, vitamins, protein and carbs/fibre
you don't need big meals

My brother is the opposite and parks his arse in front of the TV with
a pizza or burger at any opportunity. And it shows. We were having
a big clean- up around the place last weekend and he gave in long
before I did

At one stage I thought I might join a gym but a staffer told me that
a regular cycle and proper diet is quite good enough. And doesn't
cost like a gym does, unless maybe you're training for something
in particular

all the best

Joe

* the one time I did noticeably and quickly put weight on was when
I went on a cruise for 6 weeks and had way too much rich food and
no exercise
