About
Hi, My name is Martin, and as at February 1st 2008 I weigh 131kg (289 pounds).

That’s me in the photo… I’m sure you’ll agree, I’m carrying a few more sacks of potatoes than I should be, if I want to have any hope of keeping up with my two young kids then I need to take action now.
This blog is a record of my journey to reach my goal of losing 40kg in 12 months. My hope is that others can find this as a source of inspiration and as a place to participate in a friendly community of people who both ‘understand’ and provide support to other people who may be undergoing similar journeys of their own.
If this is your first visit to my blog, then here is the post that started it all - Welcome to my Weight Loss Blog - you may want to begin there to get a little background on what this place is all about.
Thanks for reading, I hope you stick around - the easiest way to keep up with everything is to subscribe to my RSS feed (links are on the left hand side of the page)… in the next week or so I’ll write a post on just what RSS is and how you use it - so if you have no idea what I’m talking about, check back in a few days and hopefully I can set you straight.
Cheers
Martin
