Hi all, about me....

tomjanecourtney

I’m a 61 yr old retired guy on a boat in London.
In March 17 I was 226 lbs/ 30% fat / 5’10”, too much good wine and food....
Never trained before but I do everything to excess.
1 month later I was 206 lbs, basically stopped eating.
May 17 joined a gym and got some PT and My Fitness Pal.
Trained 3 or 4 times a week since then, each session between 2 and 3 hrs weights, find cardio tedious.
Now, Oct 17 I am 188 lbs / 23% fat and , if I say so myself, looking pretty good (comparatively).
Target is 180 lbs / 15% fat.
The Question is, is this a realistic target at my age?

Anything is possible if you put your mined to it

Congrats on great success to date!!

Age is just a number, to be honest, and has little to do with body composition.

I think 180/15 is definitely doable.
