Weigh In

So here goes, this is when it all starts, weigh in day. For a 5 foot 9 bloke (average height!!!), 14 stone and 4 pounds is a pretty substantial weight. My aim is to achieve 12 stone by July this year, a pretty realistic and achievable goal I think.

Now to achieve this I won't be partaking in any fad diets, magical tablets or relying on divine intervention. Instead, I hope to achieve this by regular exercise (running), a healthy balanced diet, reducing my alcohol intake (this will be the most difficult part) and by developing and maintaining a positive mental attitude.

I think I should also point out that my weight loss goal isn't borne out of vanity, but that it runs hand in hand with my overall aim of improving my health, fitness and general well being.

My family are fully behind me in this endeavour and I aim to make them proud!
