I'm fat, I'm fifty pounds overweight, I'm fifty years old, and it's time to make some changes!
This site will be a record of how I do something about my weight.

A little about me...

I am not now and have never been an athlete. There have been times I have been in decent shape, but not since college. I have been employed in various accounting and finance roles for the last thirty years so the term "sedentary lifestyle" is particularly familiar to me. When not working I spend time on the physically demanding pursuits of watching sports, reading, consuming large quantities of internet bandwidth, and playing with my iPhone. I know.... it's shocking that I am fifty pounds overweight with this lifestyle.

Join me as I work my way through the wilds of diet books, diet and exercise selection, and make dramatic progress toward my goal of losing fifty pounds. It should only take a couple of months...
