So, I've managed to get to my fifties without having to ever think about what I eat or drink - until now!!

I'm a few stone over weight for my 6 feet, and my bad cholesterol levels are way too high.

Been in and out of love with running and exercise generally all my life, but now I look at it more as a life choice. And I want to live beyond 100!

I don't believe in abstinence of any kind where food is concerned (cos I love all food and cake and drink too much - that's what life is about isn't it? That and love of course), so this is all about making small changes and better choices, and sharing the experiences on the journey.

Good luck everyone!!
