The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Morning all YAH's. A day of domestics, and when the rain comes a trip to the art shop to stock up on bits.

I think I must have been about 12 when I was 69kg, still trying to get down from 90kg to 80kg, then I'll be what I weighed when I was 30

It suppose it depends how tall you are.
I am somewhere around 70 Kg but I am just under 5' 7". I could do with losing a few Kg.

From M&S I'd expect chicken that hadn't been knocked about!

Very good that, for first thing in the morning

I'm now 76kg down from 120+ 5 years ago.
I'm now lighter at 58 than when I left school.
You should weigh at the same time of day once a week or fortnight to get accurate readings as you can be 1 or 2 kg different day to day due to fluid retention depending on what you've eaten or how much you've drunk, even extra exercise can make you hold on to fluid to help repair muscles so don't worry if you don't appear to have lost one week

It's good for me anytime of day! As most will already know.

I'd naturally be about 100 if left to my own devices as a 6'4" mesomorph. Been a year of leg workouts thus far, thighs and calves bulging like Jessica Rabbits brazier. I've applied to play Jack Reacher in the new Netflix series.

I'm 5'6" and personally I feel very good about being 69kg. I only get concerned about fat round the waist which medically is the most dangerous. I'm not keen on man boobs either.

If I lose more I look a bit gaunt and tend towards getting saggy skin. What I call old man's skin. TBH weight is a vanity thing for me as I want to look as good as possible for my age. Found a photo 20 years ago that I thought was my Dad. It wasn't! That wouldn't happen today.

And what war wrong with Tom Cruise? Apart from the fact that he was about a foot too short?

Good morning people. Up early this morning, been to lidl, walked the dog and now wondering what to do next as no one to talk to. My wife arrived safely in Oz but is suffering from jet lag and it is her birthday today! It is the first time since 1985 that we won't be celebrating together. I am sure her sister will treat her well.
I might go and see my son this afternoon. It can be lonely on your own, at least I have the dog but she doesn't say much. Cup of coffee now?

You're the same height as me, I'm 11 stone, which is a good cycling weight for me, lighter I loose power, heavier and the weight starts slowing me down.
