You should not need to be hungry when you are reducing your food intake. I reckon get to a food doctor if your gym has one, and that way you'll get enough of the right food to keep losing weight, but not be hungry at the same time. Despite my simple equation of eat less than you use to lose weight on that thread on the sports forum, it is a bit more complex than that. Eat the right foods and you'll be sorted on that front.<br />

Walking is good - how foes rowing on the knee hold up? That would be a goody too, and of course cycling? My father with two hip replacements and 72 is now a concept 2 row a holic!

go hard hiking with teva sandals-plenty of movement if needed, grip, cushioning, and the hard hiking (up hundred s of stairs 2 by 2) is a solid leg and lung burning exercise. Sprint up them when fitter to train for running. I have no calf problems. YMMV, good luck

Been trying to tell the Wife that, she's Kiyaking (fucked the spelling of that didn't I) Bike riding, running walking Les Mills etc... doing two or three of them each day and yet stressing out because she put on a Kilo last week or worring weather she's doing enough. She's become a fitness junkee but can't see that she's becaome addicted even though the rest of us think she is.<br />

Personally I'm trying to keep it simple and most importantly enjoyable. From dropping a Kilo and a half a week I dropped to about 3/4 of a kilo but have picked up to the recommended 1 kilo a week in the last couple of weeks, dispite actually being a bit slack. I don't worry if I sneak some food I shouldn't but I do try to keep it just to a taste (and don't always suceed) but life is too short to go without some of the things that make it worth living like Beer and Pudd.<br />

I've currently dropped 27 Kilos and my new target is 30..... I've desided to keep the targets low. Do it 5 kilos at a time. The important thing is my Knees and heel seemed to be getting better although after finally getting to my doc last week and being sent for some X-rays (and blood tests etc.... It'd been two years and he wanted his monies worth) he believes I might need an op so is sending me to a specialist. (3 Specialists actually, one for the knee, one for carpel Tannel a one for the heel spur.) He tryed to send me to the Carpel Tunnel one (however thats spelled) 2 years ago but I never went so got a bullicking on that and promiced I'd get it down this time.... He must think I'm made of money.<br />

I can now remove my trouses without undoing the belt (which is on max) or undoing any buttons or the fly (provided I don't have a hard on) and these are a pair that were too small six months ago. All my shirts are like tents and I'm rewearing cloths I'd given up wearing. However I'm also getting soft.... Bloody Canberra is so cold now that I've lost a lot of the boddy fat that used to keep me warm and Brisbane isn't much better once the sun has set. Have had to start wearing my leather jacket when on the moterbike. Becoming a real sook.<br />

PS like the new name Bart but you should change the B to a W remembering the Moari pronciation.
