Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 153 | I lost 20 lbs in treatment and two years on I'm still about 15 less than PT (pre-treatment), but I also bicycle 70 miles/week in 7-mile sprints, so I think that's helping keep the weight off. My wife thinks I'm still a bit too slim, which makes for a great excuse to eat ice cream! I prefer Mackie's vanilla, with Tia Maria and Canadian maple syrup on top. Mmmmmmm
BMI = 23 which is a lower BMI than 92% of males in my age group in the UK (I'm actually American, but I live in London now). It's 91% when compared to the US, not much different.
