I was going to do it in grandiose, web-enabled, iPhone motivated style, and parts of that I'm still going to do - I'm twittering my food and exercise on SnakeNuts_weigh* and I'm still working on that Facebook app. But I was also going to 'reward' myself with an iPhone at the end of an arbitrary 20-week period. But... no... let's not.
I'm getting more and more convinced that what I really need is a good old change of habits. Eat less, be more aware of what you eat, move a bit more and do it with such a conviction that after a while it becomes second nature. Granted, I'm still a foodie, so I'll probably want to make the odd grand feast, but if my mind then juxtaposes a bit more exercise to balance that, that would be ideal.
So, without too much fanfare and pomp, here's my announcement:
I'm trying to lose 40lbs, 3 stone or 18 kgs (choose which you prefer) in the next 20 weeks. Let's see how far I get shall we?
Oh, one problem though: both our weighing-tools (the Wii-fit and the scales) are buried in some boxes somewhere. I'll have to 'fly blind' for a while.

11 weeks have passed... You should be 9 k lighter... Are you...? :-)
Eh... No.
I think I'm a few pounds lighter, but without scales or the Wii fit (both are still buried in a box somewhere) I don't know.
I've only recently (the last week) started using the exercise bike, and I've started eating less during lunchtime, but I can't say I've been very good at other times.
I'm still determined to lose weight, but how, I'm not so sure of...
