The Big "Secret"

So what's the big secret to my weight loss?

There isn't one. Eating less calories and exercising. Hardly rocket science, and yet like many, many other people, it's obvious logic that I never took on board, yet often complained that I couldn't lose weight.

Since January, I've been limiting myself to 1500 calories per day - 1000 fewer than the average recommended daily amount of calories for a man and 1500ish fewer than my personalised RDA according to an online calculator.

A quite key motivator is a daily diary, which I used to record weigh-ins, along with details of everything I've eaten that day.

The calorie counted is supplement by a regime of exercise, more on which later.
