Dwayne - Good luck back at you. I was planning on going on a walk today, but unless the rain stops I’m going to stay hidden in my house. At this rate I might have to join a Gym as every time I’m able to find the time to get out the weather has prevented me.

Zoe’s Dad - Swine

Tracy - Fitness is the ultimate goal, and so will be the target. But as you say weight loss is a part of that too.

Darren - Or you could buy bigger suits.

Gary - I remember you mentioning the tescos thing on your blog. i might have a go on it. around three years ago I did a weightwatchers online thing which was quite effective, but the subscriptions were very expensive.

Lee - Bribery is an good idea, but my main problem is that I genuinely forget I should be dieting and find myself absentmindedly consuming crap. As I’ve mentioned before i need to get myself obsessed by it for a while so i can change my habits.

Arjan - I don’t think i’ve done any sport for around two years.

Avitable - I’d take that joke to the Antiques roadshow, it must be worth a fortune by now.

Sandip - I’m guessing your roast dinner teacake will be slightly more than 1500 calories.

Jeff - You should write a diet book.

Donna - Oprah? Isn’t she 500lb? Oh wait, that was last week.

Dad stuff - Are there any tall dark hansom strangers there as well?

Bec - I’ve taken a tumble from the weight loss wagon many a time, but I suppose i should try to be more positive.

Jason - Indeed, that’s the best thing about having a blog. Whenever anything bad happens you are pleased because now you have something to write about.

I wish you good luck. It’ll be tough, but I’m sure you can pull it off. If not it will make great reading for the blog.

This is one of my biggest (haha) resolutions. Good luck Dan. Not that you’re going to need it. I have faith there will be no wagon falling off-ness!

I’d suggest checking out Bob Greene’s Best Life Diet because it focuses on increasing your fitness level, not just losing weight. He’s Oprah’s diet guy. It has always seemed like a reasonable plan me, but Phase 1 involves giving up alcohol (temporarily), so I’ve never tried it :-0

Good luck!

Maybe if you just switched from lite mayo to fat-free mayo on your 1/2 chicken that would do the trick.

Seriously though, I’m rootin for ya Dan, I know you can do it!

Hey Dan, I’m thinking of losing weight for the walk too. I have formulated my own diet regime - to lose weight, one must reduce calorie intake from around 2500cals (2500 is to maintain your current weight), by around 500 cals. Also, in order to have a balanced diet of 1500 cals, one must consume boring foods, and not tasty, fried or roasted dishes with lots of fat.This is a safe way.

Reduce by 1000 cals, and you lose weight quicker, but may get ill.

I choose the unsafe way.

I intend to eat a non-balanced diet whereby I receive all of my 1500 calories a day in one sandwich or tasty meal. Perhaps a nice bacon sandwich made with rashers of baCon, fried agg, and a decent spreading of butter. Or maybe a whole roast dinner on a teacake/barm/cob/bap/roll, with extra goose fat.

It is likely that I will suffer gout or perhaps have a mild case of heart attack, but at least I will be slim and happy.

P.S. - I found a really good blog if you like food…

I’m on the seafood diet.

When I see food, I eat it.

bribing should work.
My parents are on a diet. It works for them, but I’m more of the ‘eat healthy’ and exercise type. But then again I don’t cope with overweight..I think I actually lÃ³st weight by not being able to do any sport for the last month… Bye bye condition & muscles.
