It was more a result of my lifetimes research. I've been skinny, I've been fat. I get more cuddle offers somewhere in the "pleasntly plump" range.

When I came out of hospital last december I was the skinniest I've ever been - I'd achieved my lifetime ambition! But I felt very bony and horrible! I immediately set to work with buttery crumpets and family packs of tyrrells to put the situation right!

When I got down below 12 stone in the early 2000s, I got a colleague to take some photographs of me for a brief foray into online dating. He uploaded them to my work PC and I took one look at them and told him that there must be something wrong with the camera! For some reason, I hadn't seen the obvious when I looked in the mirror, but on the computer screen I looked gaunt, sunken-eyed and hollow-cheeked. He told me that was exactly what looked like, so I took another look in the mirror and saw the truth. (My current avatar picture was taken when I had put about 20 pounds back on so you can imagine how skinny my face looked before that!)

I am probably at a 'pleasantly plump' size now, but I would like to get slim again. I am finding that my aching joints are much less of a problem now that I have lost about 3.5 stone, but I can still feel the remaining stone of flab when I exert myself. My heart and lungs will definitely cope better.

Yip, I've lost about 3.5 stone and could ship another stone. The moobs are almost consigned to history.

Oh! :blush:

Er that was the 50 year old me, at about 13 stone.

I am now 57 coming on 58 and my hair is thinning, balding, receding and greying. (Apart from that, the remaining hair is fine! :laugh:) I weigh about 3 or 4 pounds more than I did then, but I should end up about 10 or 12 pounds lighter than I was in the picture, in a few months time.

This is the older, iller me taken a few months ago... (I had a very bright light shining up at me which makes me look as if I had white whiskers!)
