A 40kg object could be the average weight of a 12-year-old boy, an adult woman who is considered underweight, a large custom doughnut, a bag of rice, or two 20kg weight plates.

As of this morning (11th November 2025) that’s how much weight I have lost on this journey. I won’t lie…..I’m feeling a bit like a dog with two tails this morning 🙂

I need to be challenged and I need a real reason to get my fat backside out there and train. The second half of 2025 has been consumed with losing weight. The year of 2026 will be consumed with training, scaring myself half to death, and getting fit again.
Can a 54 year old really go from 23 1/2 stone to running a six minute mile within a year?
Let’s find out!!
I’ll do everything I can to make sure he does. If you could find it in yourself to sponsor me, or join me on my quest, then it’s all for two amazing charities….
