Hi All,

Basically what i am doing is a 6 month sponsored weight loss in aid of the Good News Children's Home in Mombassa Kenya. If you would take a few moments to visit the below site, you will see that it is worth cause to raise funds for!

http://www.goodnewschildrenshome.org.uk/

This idea came about due to several years of failed attempts to loose weight and get fit (mainly from me wanting to run before i could crawl!), Heart problems around end of 2007, to the begining 2008, and reading a men's health reader's story of fantastic weight loss due to similar problems and being kept on track by the fact he was doing it for a good cause and there being no way to back out. As most of you will know, i start out normally with the best intentions and then i give up. I believe that like the reader i read about, i will not if i am focused by doing it as a fundraiser.

I will begin on the 1st August 2008 and have my final weigh in on the 1st February 2009. I will update my progress in a weekly blog, and on the 1st of each month i will weigh in at boots chemist and post a copy of my read out on here. It will state, my weight, height, BMI, and body fat.

So please visit this site regularly, give me lots of support and encouragement, and most importantly make a donation! No matter how small it's going to a great charity!

Many Thanks,

Tristan
