Well, I have got to the stage now with my weight that I no longer feel that my plain Jane try to eat the right foods and do a little exercise approach seem to be working.

So on Wednesday night I decided to attend my very first ever weight watchers meeting and started my first serious effort in a long while.

My goal is reasonably ambitious, but I want to try as hard as humanly possible to reach my goal weight as calculated by the weight watchers formulae. And no, I’m not brave enough to publish my weight online at this stage, so I will be using a percentage scale, currently being at 100% of my starting weight.

This isn’t going to be easy, basically I’m going to have to loose up to 34% of my body weight to reach this goal, if it is at all even possible. But I’d be happy to get any results at this stage, and unless I try, I don’t think its going to just happen.

It’s been three days now, and I have already survived one test of will power. We had a work function last night and I managed to only have a small portion of nibbles and beer, but it was hard, free food and a wide range of European beers on tap, ah, the food of the corporate banker, how did I survive and how will I survive the next “software release” party.
