    The Man Challenge

    Who wants to join me on the next Man Challenge due to start on 10 October 2016?

    Six months ago my weight nudged 90kg which for someone my height of 172cm put me in the obese category. Since completing the most recent Man Challenge a couple of weeks ago I am now down to 76kg but still overweight according to BMI and have included the following link for anyone to calculate where they currently sit and also where they should be.

    http://heartfoundation.org.au/your-h...bmi-calculator

    Again, who wants to join me on the next challenge? What have you got to lose other than a few excess kilos?

    Well done shedding the kegs! You must be feeling a heap better all round.

    Not really something I have ever had to worry about, being built like a race horse but I am sure there are other forum members who can rise to the challenge.

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Thanks DB.

    Too much sitting behind a desk didn't help and the 10 minutes exercise per day in the program did most of the work plus better eating habits.

    178cm, 81kg, BMI 25.

    A little too much, but I'm getting there. I reckon my ideal would be 75 - 76 kg, I just need more exercise. (Maybe you could take the 'more' out of that last sentence..)

    I had to make a new hole in my belt this week. I went from a 32 inch waist to a 36 when I gave up cigs, down to 34 now and can just squeeze in my old 32's. The secret, as Dr Rudie says... eat less" LOL
