At 44 I'm trying to change my body composition, which should lead to some weight loss. I'm 6'0" so BMI says I'm OK, but if I believe that I'm fooling myself! Exercise and watching what I eat should get me to target by Christmas. Then I can put it all back on again! Have started a 30 minute a day exercise programme designed by some crazy Navy Seal fitness instructor. Working on the assumption that my weight will come to a natural level as I get fitter and lose the fat, so not worrying too much about the weight.

For those who may be interested, the crazy Navy Seal is a guy called Mark Lauren and the book is called "You Are Your Own Gym: The Bible of Bodyweight Exercises".
