I have created this blog because my gym told me to. Well actually....I read in one of my old gym's magazines that writing down weight loss challenges, trials, disasters, mishaps and successes....(they do happen) for others to see is a good way to keep to goals. A number of my friends are writing blogs and I've decided to spend some valuable exercise time writing down my experience thus far in the hope that those who read it can relate, understand and perhaps even be encouraged by it. So, add comments, post notes, interact. Who knows what might happen.
