Day 1, Week 1

168 pounds is my target weight. Down from 198 pounds (14st 2lbs) as it is today!

My congratulations to Jo, a woman I met the other day at a drinks party who lost 50 pounds in 100 days as part of a medically supervised regime. Fascinating to hear what she was prepared to subject herself to. Jo - you are an inspiration. And thank you for plying me with all that drink through the afternoon - large glasses of water! I'm drinking a pint of water right now as I write this.

As part of my plan to lose the weight - we're off for a long hike today. If you have any ideas or tips on how I and any other reader can lose weight - please get in touch.

Roy

14 stone 2 seems OK if you are 6 foot or so.

What;s your height?

Roy, coming back from holidays I found a new screen on which to watch horror films: my electronic scale. I tipped over the 80 kilo (176 lbs) mark for the first time in years - ever since I vowed never to recross that "bridge too far". So I am with you - my goal is only to lose 10 pounds, so with perserverence we'll both succeed. You are right, excercise is key. I went for a 4 mile run yesterday. Now I just have to stay off the wine. Hope all goes well, I'll keep you informed of my progress.

Roy, expert networker that you are this is a fantastic example of asking your network for support. With the name fatroyslim is breakdancing part of your exercise routine ;-)
