and the positive comments
I'm not currently lifting weights at all, but if it will help then I'll get hold of some.
As to the diet, yeah, I probably don't eat enough meat or fish, I forgot to mention that I take a multivitamin and a fish oil supplement also.
oh and thanks for the link Ross

what a great site
iron_worker - how do I work out the maintenance level of calories I need? sorry if that sounds like a dumb question lol - up to now watching what I eat has basically meant don't order so much I can't finish it (easy to see how I got into the state I'm in really), so thoughts of calories etc have never really entered my head.
