It is now the 2 Jan 2008, so I finally committed to publishing my own progress in the battle to lose some weight.

Let me start by telling you a little about myself, I am currently self employed and work as an Internet Marketer, I run one of the most successful Local Internet Directories Online, www.havealink.com prior to starting this new career some Nine years ago I was a former member of Her Majesties Armed Forces, serving over 23 years, and led a very active life and had no real need to go on a diet. I kept reasonably fit and up until the age of 40, I could still manage a 6-7 minute mile over a 10 mile distance. 

However over the past 7 years I have been busy building a business and found very little time to do any exercise, this has now started to have a massive effect on my body.  With now only two years left before I reach my 50th Birthday I have finally realised that If I don’t do something soon I will never do it. I started this blog and website over 6 months with the intention of making an effort. So lets see what happens…………
