Since I started on Spark in September 09, have lost about 10kg - more than 10% of my body weight. It's a slow process, there are plateaus, even the odd, small weight gain. But I now have only 12lbs to go, and you know what? I'm in no hurry. It would be good to get to 10 stone (140 lbs, 63.5 kilos) before we go to France in August, but if I don't, I don't. I'm heading in the right direction, no longer eating huge portions or roasting veg in gallons of olive oil. Have given up butter and ...

Fitness Minutes: 28,944

My Goals:
To get down to 10 stone, the weight I was for most of my adult life. I'd also like a waistline again, but if not, I'll get a corset!

My Program:
I've been using a pedometer for over 4 yrs, averaging 10,000 steps per day. I've lately upped my cardio at the gym to 175 minutes per week, and have cut out animal fats and most dairy. I've never bothered with calorie counting, but am going to do it now, just to help with my portion control problem.

Personal Information:
I'm from Islington, North London. I love travelling, have been all over the world, but London is home.

Other Information:
I'm a writer, which means I sit on my backside in the mornings.

Well, the trip started badly, and rapidly got much, much worse. We went backpacking without a plan, had never been to India before. Ended up in Kashmir, where they held us hostage on a houseboat and would not let us off until we agreed to buy a tour of Rajasthan. They were abusive, racist and threatened violence - said they would cancel our flights back to Delhi unless we signed up. We'd already paid for those flights, said we'd go to the police.

"Police! Don't make me laugh, this is Kashmir. Nobody cares about you - you are old people, you are nothing, I will throw you in the water and nobody will know about it"

We got out of it using cunning and deceit - age and treachery will always win over impetuous and foolish youth, but it was quite hairy at the time. After that it improved, and by the end we were really enjoying ourselves. I know at our age we should be going on safe package tours, sitting in a coach all day, but we've never been the type.

Hey. You're going to India? Awesome! I love India. I've been there twice. The first time I was there for 3 months so I got a pretty good feel for the country, I think. I hope you have a great time and stay safe.

Hey Plinthess! Thanks for the compliment on my "trans fats" poll response. If you keep answering polls, you'll see quite a few more of my desperate attempts to inject some levity into this website. Most Spark members probably just think I'm insane, or have way too much time on my hands, or both. emoticon
I just read some of your blogs, and I really like your writing -- I added you as a friend. Hope that's okay! All the best! emoticon
