That sounds like a great program to start of with. Just a quick question, have you had any medical ests recently just to make sure all thryroid levels, etc are okay. Always good to do when starting off a new program or regime.

What is your alcohol consumption like? Lots of hidden calories in wine, etc.

Keep at it. You are getting healthier and stronger by the day. ALso try measuring yourself with a tape measure rather than getting on trhe scales as so many things can affect the numbers on the scales.
