Just starting

Hi, I'm trying a new thing here. I'm an all or nothing kind of person, and I've pretty much been in the "nothing" department lately on a good goal I'd like to see myself attain. My body is overweight, obese, fat, chunky, you choose the adjective. I'd like to see a 1/3 reduction in my overall mass. My plan is simple; reduce calories, get regular exercise, and enter a weekly blog post about my progress. I'm expecting that the accountability and systematic checking will help me make consistent progress toward becoming two-thirds the man I used to be!
