39-year old guy from London saying HELLO!

Hello boys and girls

I'm mostly looking for a few new friends on MFP, around my age (I'm 39), who I can share some weight loss victories with and offer some encouragement in return.

From the age of 30, I've ballooned from about 84kg to, most recently, 102.5kg. My BMI was almost 32. My cholesterol rose to 6.7 not so long ago. Then I discovered I had a fatty liver, too.

I'm the type of person who gets frustrated and fails with diets that offer too little progress, too slowly, whilst demanding that I refrain from all the foods I love and counting calories all the time. Nope. That kind of torture definitely isn't for me.

So, I started the KEN diet last weekend and in just seven days, I've lost 13lbs! I'm sure that tomorrow I'll hit the one stone mark. More details of this diet are on my profile if it interests you.

Next week though, when KEN ends, I'm switching to the 5:2 diet, which to me, just makes so much sense. Intermittent, manageable fasting, with the promise of being able to eat whatever I crave on my non-fasting days. Much more reasonable!

Well, that's me in a nutshell. Get in touch if you'd like say hi!

All the best,
Sean.
