Age: 51

Johnny’s Goals: “Having reached middle-age, I decided it’s time to really take care of myself. I quit drinking in 2006 (not very good at it) and it is like there is a whole new and exciting life available to me now. In 2010, I read the Primal blueprint and was born again. I stuck at it for 6 months or so and the transformation was amazing; not just physically, but in terms of general well being and health. With a change of job and country, I got derailed and have got backwards ever since. At the back of my mind, I knew that it would be 2012 that would make the difference – it would be the start of the new way of living the rest of my life.

Goals for the next five weeks:
Back into 36 inch jeans
No; sugar, grains, legumes, dairy, bread, soy, coffee and eggs (long story) or alcohol (it’s a foul tasting addictive poison)
60 push-ups (only managed 12 today)
Carbs average less than 50 grams per day

By the end of the year; 34 inch jeans , 200pounds (91Kg) and a six-pack!
During 2012, I want to get as close as I can, to being the person that I can be. I want to get into the best physical shape of my life; to push the boundaries and really engage with life.”
