About this Blog...

I am an average 39 year old man who has had a gradually expanding waistline since I was 30. I recently found out I was officially obese with a BMI of 30+. THIS HAS TO CHANGE... but why are diet plans, clubs, meals, gyms, health foods etc all so expensive to use and follow!? Obviously a lot of people out there are trying to make a fast buck from other peoples suffering. It must be possible to lose weight and not lose money in the process? This Blog will record my attempts to battle the bulge without breaking the bank! Hopefully my experiences will be of interest to other men in the same boat!

Diet Day +7 (BMI 28.84 +1 pound since last weigh in)

I have put on 1 pound since yesterday! I have actually gained 1 pound in weight since Friday, after losing 6 pounds in the 5 days previously. (Net loss is still 5 pounds so I am still on the right track I guess providing I stick to the diet.)

I was warned about daily weigh-ins being unreliable and potentially soul destroying, but I am still going to continue with it as it can show a direct link between what is consumed and weight.... The reason for the gain is easy to spot: I came off the diet wagon yesterday and ate some cookie cake and 3 slices of Pizza, the result is an increase of weight of 1 pound. My excuse is that it was my partner Sally's birthday, so a special occasion. I firmly believe if I hadn't had the Pizza and cookie I would almost certainly have lost weight, so the lesson is simple- if you eat crap expect to put on weight. I cannot say I will not be tempted to come off the diet in the future but at least now I know what the impact can be. I wonder how many days it will be before the diet (which I am straight back on) begins to have an effect and I begin to lose weight again?
