My battle with weight control

Hi i am 40 year old man, currently training for the Great North Run. I am not a fitness junkie like some and when I started the thought of excercise filled me with fear but over the last couple of years I has lost 4 stone and managed to maintain this (not always) round a work, family and life in general. i have over the years tried all the fad diets to no real prevail, but what I have found works for me is running. so this year I have been asked by friends to write a blog while I go through my journey for this years Great North, here is the link for anyone who maybe intersted. These are my thoughts and observations.. Good luck to all on their journey to a better and healthier lifestyle. http://lloydb104.blogspot.co.uk/
