Hello World (Goodbye Fat)

Welcome to the Fatcave.
I am the Chunk Knight, the Pear-Shaped Crusader, in short I am... the Fatman.
This is a blog dedicated soley to keeping track of my efforts to get in better shape.
Currently I weigh in at 175.0 pounds (in pjs). I will be posting my weight almost daily, and maybe do a graph or two somewhere down the line.
I am going to put up a picture or two later as well, just to motivate me to get rid of the spare tire.
The first thing I am trying is the Shangri-La diet.
Basically it entails drinking unflavoured oil and sugar water to keep you from feeling hungry (it lowers the weight that your body wants to be... like the thermostat). If you lower your body weight set point, your body will not crave as many calories, and you will become full on less food. Hopefully it will keep the snacking and mid-afternoon chocolate runs down.
That's the theory at least, we'll see if it works.
Had some sugar water yesterday, and just had my first mouthful of oil today (really, not unpleasant, just odd to eat something slimy like that and not taste anything - but the tastelessness is the important part).
I'll keep you posted.
