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 +9 (BMI 29.84, -5 pounds since start)

Lost 2 pounds since yesterday, getting back on the diet seems to have had an immediate effect. Hopefully I'll lose 2-3 more pounds by the end of the week to be back on track. (My goal is to lose 3.5 pounds a week, which I do not think is ecessive.)

Looking on the web last night I was shocked at how much biased advice there is out there about weight loss. There are very few sites were they give advice and then not try and sell you their programme, or book or whatever. Since this is completely unregulated how much of this stuff can you trust! Seems to me the only one's you can trust are the government health sites, where they have no particular bias apart from overall health. Turns out their advice all revolves around sensible balanced diets, eating smaller meals, reducing fats and sugars, reducing alcohol intake and doing more exercise... ain't "rocket science" is it?
