The Start point

Why lose weight?
Mainly for medical reasons: middle age is approaching (or rather arrived), I’ve relatives with diabeties, a mild heart issue, high blood pressure, feeling lethargic.

I also caught sight of myself at work in a full length mirror.

I’am using the weight watchers points system (online – I am unable to get to meetings due to location and work hours)

I really started two weeks ago – lost 6lbs – I guess the easy bit..

I want to improve my knowledge, to be able to add something to a conversation or two.

I might even blog my reivews to keep me going.

If I read one a week, I will be at this for over two years.
