Thanks - I think it's mostly the sensible eating. I tend to cycle everywhere and gym 4-5 times a week, which leaves me starving and prone to eating shed loads once I get home.
That and the calories from beer (which are essentially dead calories) probably explain it.
On the weights front I guess having some structure helps. I've noticed each time I'm going I'm feeling stronger and stronger and it's showing.

There are other options - Starting Strength and Mike Matthews BSL. I have looked at both of these and, although similar to SL, they do differ. Might be worth a look.
I like SL for the simplicity and structure but, currently, I’m struggling to find any time for weights.
On the weight loss front, I have lost over 10lbs in 10 weeks - sensible eating to the most extent but still with enough beer to keep me sane. I have started walking - nothing overly strenuous but over 10,000 steps a day and briskly. Apple Watch takes care of the counting but there are loads of step counters. I walked 157 miles last month which may sound a lot but it’s achievable if you put your mind to it. Don’t drive to the shop, park a distance from your destination, walk around the block when tv is crap (almost all the time) etc etc
