Well just did the measuring waist I've been putting off.

Since July 2014 my waist size has now dropped by 9 inches.

This tells me three things

1. I was huuuuge
2. I still have 4 inches to go to hit my pre-married size
3. Mens trousres vanity sizing is a mine field with some saying what they mean and others being wildly optimistic.

Measured the trousers I was in in July and they are nearly 5 inches bigger than the label said. The ones im in now are maybe 2 inches bigger but are baggy thank the flying spaghetti monster.

So somethings been working. Set myself a goal of July to hit target size and fitness so, so far at least, on target. Not the massive, fast loss I did in my 20s (that was a massive weight loss but was all around mothers death/giving up horrendous bad habbits etc - I dont have those habbits so theres no "easy" options to take).

Keep on swimming as Dorey said..
