16 and half to a few stone over, a few = four, so 20 and half, I was right.

Don't really matter.  As long as your losing weight correctly, you're going the right way.

You boys need to keep walking, gait speed is the best indicator of health/life expectancy, being able to achieve a walking gait speed of over 3 miles per hour is a great predictor of life expectancy over ten years in spite of things like weight, blood pressure, diabetes etc in the elderly. Basically if you want to have a healthy life into your older years keep active.

ps harder to catch if you still got a bit of speed in the legs

I walk on average in my job and walking the dog 35 thousand steps a day according to my Garmin watch but can't drop any weight from being 95 kilos and when i try dieting i feel shite and lethargic.

If only life was that simple though Sandy, but it isnt, if you are meant to go, go you will, no matter what age

A very large cohort of people over 75 were followed, the ability to walk at 3 miles per hour was the best predictor of being alive in 5 years irrespective of all other health problems, including cardiac, stroke, hypertension etc. There are always exceptions to the rule but there is very good evidence that keeping active is the best thing you can do, won't live forever but it will very likely help.

Was at the vets yesterday and jumped on the scales quickly...67 kg can't get over that with the sort of work I do,when I knock the puff on the head for a few weeks I do start to put it on slowly... heaviest I've ever been was 12 stone 5 pounds ,that was when I was 17 and had been sat in a cell 23 hrs a day for 2 yrsmy brother's and Oldman are lumps,I'm the racing snake of the family...I used to count my steps everyday in work...would average 60/70,000 steps then another 10/12,000 walking the dogs in the evening...I'm not a drinker,never have been,and do try and  eat fairly healthily...maybe I should try eating breakfast in the morning instead of 10/11 oclock? I try and get a protein shake down me after every meal,and before bed,but it don't do seen to do a lot lol

Try adding some peanut butter, liquid eggs, porridge oats, and whatever else you might like to your protein shake
