Happy New Year! The programme starts tomorrow, but for today, I thought I’d establish a baseline. I want to keep a record of my starting point, so here it is (measurements taken today):

Weight:  16st 1 / 102 kg (Yikes, even more than I thought!)

Gut girth (won’t call it a ‘waist’…): 121cm / 48”

Trouser size: Well, I can just about squeeze into a 38 waist, but it’s uncomfortable and, to be honest, I’m really a 40….or 42. :o  

Chest: 115cm /42”

Upper arm: 36cm/14.5”

Thigh:  60cm / 24”

And a couple of photos:

Disgusting, huh? How did I let myself get in that state? Well, time to do something about it.
