Welcome to Fat Wes

Hello world and welcome to Fat Wes.  This blog over the next few weeks and months will document my struggle to lose weight.

Currently I weigh about 110 kgs, or 243 lbs ... either way a lot, and I'm no longer happy about it.  I am no longer happy when I look in the mirror and see what I see and things need to change now!

My Weight Loss Goals

My ultimate goal is to weigh 80 kgs (176 lbs).  To help me get there I have 5 mini goals to help me achieve this;

1.  Set small weight loss goals ... 1st goal is to get under 100kgs, then 90kgs etc.
2.  Move more ... I have an office job and I sit down to much at both work and home ... this needs to change.
3.  Drink more water ..... seriously Wes ... drink more water!
4.  Share what I know ... sharing is caring and if I can make a small difference in someone else's life along the way, then great!
5.  Positively reward myself ... ie., as I achieve my goals, reward myself with something nice (but not food and especially not chocolate ...... mmmmm chocolate .... )

Life is all about choices and I choose life .... I want to be a fitter and healthier version of me.  I want to be a better husband to my beautiful wife and a better Dad to my amazing kids.

The journey begins now!  I hope you can come along for the ride. If so, follow my journey through the blog, on Facebook, Twitter and soon YouTube!

Thanks for your support.
