@taniwharugby I've got the spreadsheet with all my stuff in it, and charts to go with. It is instructional to look at the summaries:
Started to plateau once I got into the low 90s. Reckon that's about where I need to stay.

@nta LOL. Like the girls in the 70’s, showing my age, with their sprayed on jeans. The stories that were told of their friend holding the jeans for them while they jumped into them. Heck, 34. I just fitting into a 36 so I got some catch up.
Fark. Found this picture from 6 years ago (~100kg) and I don't think I have these jeans any more because they got too big!
Tried on the 34s and it was strangle-junk-muffin-top-city!

Walk this morning. Would have been more of a run but The Boy (14, nearly my height) insisted on tagging along.
He slow as fuck. And not just the walking.
I was up just after 6 and it took the little bastard nearly 15 minutes to get ready
then once we're on the road I had to remind him how to power walk and then, when I wanted to do a 1km jog he conked out after about 700 metres. Soft.3km in 29 minutes. Fuck that.

Incredible how even Sydney and toxic waste can look good at that time of day.

Back from the specialist and it's a mixed bag. The primary problem is this:
... at the junction of the proximal and middle thirds of the left anterior descending artery, there is a mixed calcified and soft plaque, which is causing am approximately 40-50% stenosis of the arterial lumen. There is possible ulceration in this plaque.
The upshot of that is a small pile of medication and a follow up in 6 months.
Kind of glad overall; he said that everything else looks fine, so that's a plus. No major issues with the important arteries.
The minus is that these type of mixed hard/soft plaques are apparently abnormal in someone of my age and relative fitness.
He even said that they sometimes see this on patients who have experienced rapid weight loss, so maybe it even goes back to my 2011-13 efforts and a bit if genetics thrown in.
Medical science eh? Doesn't know what it doesn't know, and isn't certain about much

I hear ya! After my misdiagnosis I've a better appreciation for why they say you practice medicine!! Almost as much an art as a science.
