Now is the time to take the weight off and exercise, this is my daily blog

Hi........

Start weight: 85kgs

Started a 15 minute walk this morning. Yep its a start to this exercise lark... then I did some exercises for 20 minutes this evening.

Ate a lot less food today as well... so I have eaten around 1200 to 1500 cals today....

Have to work up to drinking water which I hate.
