But the fact is that I am overweight. Have started to change what I consume - if there was a record for the amount of food in an office ours would win no question, there's always sweets, cakes, cookies, biscuits and full-of-fat savoury nibbles like cocktail sausages (how do they pack so much fat and calories into something so small) and only 12-15 people!. So stopped having any of the office junk as well as cutting back on other junk. Also going to up the exercise things because I don't actually do loads of exercise and the amount of hard manual labour has diminished as the house renovation is nearing completion. But thanks for the vote of confidence! I don't know where I want to be in the weight stakes, but 2 stone would be a minimum to lose. After that I'll see how I look/feel, though that'll still give me a BMI of overweight I don't care because a BMI of "normal" will have me around the weight I was when I was very ill (through stress and lack of sleep caused by w*nker housesharers) and I don't want to be like that ever again. Have been playing with WeightBot a bit more - it's very cool. If you try it, flip the iPhone onto it's side both ways as it does different things when you do. It's got graphs, progress bar, stats etc. all in a dead gorgeous interface. Strangely Gaz said the same thing. But the fact is that I am overweight.

You do loads of exercise. I'm not so sure how useful the BMI number is. I'll check those apps out, I haven't tried wordpress for Iphone. You don’t seem overweight Rafe! You do loads of exercise.

Best of luck with it all. I'm slowly coming round to the fact I need to lose weight (currently 14st11, BMI 31.5). Have a look at WeightBot for the iPhone, looks a great little app. Also why you use iBlog not Wordpress for iPhone? Go Emma! Best of luck with it all.

I bet you drop a load of weight this Saturday. This is a good site http://dailyburn.com You can join and use for free. Today I did 1400 cals and burned 1000 doing spinning. I should be like a stick by Saturday. I've also joined the gym, but I have to go through their retardy induction sessions. I was a member there for ages before and it hasn't even changed slightly. It's a bit of a shit gym, but it's better than nowt and will be good for when I can't go on bike/spin. I'm thinking of setting up a separate site for Diet Club at eatlessmovemore.net I've put a wp install there, just waiting for the domain to resolve properly. Well done Dave.
