Yeah, I've got at least another 20 to go! Ideally 3 stone in total, I've done more than that before but it is a slog. I did manage to stay at my "fighting weight" for a few years, then around this time last year I got an attack of sciatica which left me virtually unable to walk for 6 weeks. It got better for about 2 weeks, then it struck again and lasted another 6 weeks or so, so best part of 5 months hardly doing any exercise and not compensating by cutting down the calories, hence the weight gain.

It was the wardrobe thing that made me take stock and get back on the regime - as I wear suits for work, I would have no choice but to buy bigger ones, and I'm too tight (pun intended!) to do that again!
