Hi there, this will mark the start of something that I expect not to be an easy road traveled, I am your average every day fellow in every respect besides the fact that I weigh twice as much as your average construction worker, that may be pushing it but I believe it to be close.
I decided that I would blog about it to give me a sort of record as to how it is going and to give me something to look back at when I succeed or fail at this attempt. I will try and update this blog daily with my food intake and how I felt on that particular day along with any exercise that was done.
The Plan is to eat a balanced diet with a limited Caloric intake. I am starting off with 1200 calories per day, I will see how I feel and go from there. I am 6 feet 5 inches tall, large build, shirt size is 6X jeans are 54/32 so 1200 calories will not be easy but it shouldn't be impossible either.
I started on January 01 2008 with this 1200 calorie adventure and woke up today hungry. I did not quite hit the 1200 cal mark yesterday (which is good I think), I will try and list what was eaten and the calories in it each day that I post on this blog, so here goes nothing!

Grand total is 1125 Calories for the first day. not bad and I didn't even notice that I was on a diet except for the measuring everything out. Like I said earlier in this post I did wake up hungry today which is not normal for me. I hope to update this every day and will do my best to try. hopefully its a success and you will soon be reading about how well it is going, thanks for reading and please don't hesitate to leave a comment or word of wisdom.
