Didn't realise you'd graduated to a Contender Fleaby, how's it going, looks like I'm headed that way...

I eat absolutely anything that I want. Never considered any form of 'diet'....ever.
I'm 53yrs old, 6Ft tall, hit 11 1/2Stone at about 16 and have barely budged above or below that in the subsequent years. I'd say, though, that I'm pretty active - through the Summer - and used to do a lot of running, MTB etc. However, what I would say is that I'm probably now the most unfit that I've ever been in my life. Even as a foetus I was probably fitter :-D People I take sailing are often surprised at how physically demanding our sport actually is. Whether you're pottering around or giving it the Ainslie-Beans racing. This year, as well as getting to grips with the Contender, I'm determined to at least grab back some of the actual fitness that I've lost in recent years.

If you burn more calories than you eat you'll lose weight, eat more than you burn you'll gain. Anything else is irrelevant. But to exercise more and/or eat less may require coping strategies so, if you need/want to lose weight do what ever allows you to achieve that aim.

For me it has to be a combination. I found cutting our snacks between meals but eating what I like as a reward at meals combined with a decent amount of exercise to be the most effective because I can do it for a long time - the lack of snacks sucks but eating well / tasty food at meal times is a trade off I can live with!

Each to his own, and although I preach the 'nothing tastes like skinny feels' to the girls, I've always been of the belief that upping the exercise is easier than reducing the calory intake, and it works for me.

Spot on there Tink.
I spent a whole summer training for the Great North Run, got stronger and tighter but never lost a pound. Now more than ten years on and into mid sixties, still working but no training, changed diet and gone from nudging over 75kg to less than 70kg in 9 months without really trying too hard.

Had my first real swim for a couple of years last sunday, after a mare of a gust in a gybe, then capsize, then freak out because the sheets were wrapped round my legs, then a turtle with mast stuck in the mud, then eventual release, splash back, boat starts blowing down wind on its side, so a sprint swim to get to it. The moral of the tale, if you aint fit, you aint going to cope with sh*t like that, lucky for me No 3 daughter bought some new scales for Christmas made me get on them, have been pounding the pavement every day since to lose 3 kilos of blubber which I am sure helped the sprint swim.
