Yes, I know. Always been that way. But my colleagues are now saying wow Richard, you're a bit bulky these days!
I've posted before about me and food and size, so don't need to repeat - but to summarise
Skinny runner as a teenager, still a 100 pound cox (steering passenger!) in serious rowing crews
Became insulin dependent diabetic in early 20s with weight down to 70 lbs
(Before that, was a national finalist in bike racing!)
Diabetic advice back then was 'don't eat anything at all. If you have to, fill up on cheese' .Luckily, things have changed
Now, love to cook, love to host, love to taste, hate to swallow! A bit conflicted about food. Quite happy to go 2 or 3 days without
OK, back to the thread

I better not post my weight as I appear to be a statistical anomoly in this group and I don't want to corrupt the results.

Hi,
52 years-old, 5' 7" when I stand up straight, 153-154 lbs -- need to get under and stay under 150 lbs without losing too much muscle mass.
