Hi Etna (somehow, Demon Lord sounds too formal :-)

I had a quick look to see your own progress and all I can say is WOW!

I had mostly come to the conclusion a reduction in strength was a price I was going to have to pay for a softer shape, but with the hope that with a little care and effort it should be possible to maintain a reasonable degree of strength. Plus the fact that even with the most extreme programme (considering my age and health limitations) I doubt I would ever be able to override the 'maleness' of my body to any large degree, and that in itself would probably keep my strength from disappearing too much. That said, I am very intrigued to find out the state of play in a year or so. I have no idea what I will be able to achieve, but I am DETERMINED to achieve something!

However, your comments about not loosing much strength is interesting. There is no doubting the effectiveness of your own programme and one thing you certainly are not, is muscle bound! Still amazed, and perhaps there is hope for us all after all ;-)
