The reason I started this blog.

When I started this blog, it was with the intention to help others who suffer from the same challenges that I faced just a year ago. Having taken on the fat problem and some health issues, and winning was an achievement that I wanted to share with as many people as possible. The positive response and feedback that I got from my first tentative steps urged me to continue and put as much effort as possible into continuing with the effort. It has always been my intention to proceed with the blog on a full-time basis and that means that I have to also look at the economical impact on my life and how this service to you can continue without asking you for money. That objective is stil my primary goal and I don’t plan on changing anything as far as that is concerned.

The changes that you can expect seeing in the near future.

I have been in discussions with business for a while now with the aim of getting sponsorships for competitions and also to get better deals for people participating on this blog in competitions and other programs. While nothing has been finalised yet, there is quite a bit of interest from companies to take part in various ways, ranging from sponsoring prizes to offering discounted deals on various products related to what this program stands for. This means that we will be looking at sports like cycling, running or walking  etcetera and the related equipment that is associated with the particular sport.

It has always been my dream to make a contribution by providing incentives for people to start the weight-loss journey as it is how I started my own weight-loss journey when my brother gave me a bicycle when I was at a low point with no drive to start any form of exercise. While the bicycle was not the only reason for my weight loss it contributed greatly to that achievement and it has since become a part of my life that I am continuing with and that wil ensure that I never go back to my fat life.

So I hope to make an announcement soon where we will start a weight-loss competition with a bicycle as a first prize and some nice kit as runner-up prizes. Now please don’t delay your weigh-loss programs in anticipation of the competition as it is not a good idea to delay improving your health even one day.

As an additional offering I am planning on introducing a voucher system where you will be able to purchase selected products from participating dealers at very good prices that you will hopefully not get from anybody else. This will include memberships in organised clubs that will provide a safe environment for you to exercise with others with attention to every little detail like medical assistance etc.

In time we may even start a national club that is associated with regional clubs and participating shops.

The other thing that I hope to offer is a recipe book with calorie counter, that will provide more insight in the wide range of dishes that can be eaten and that is beneficial for weight-loss. This is being prepared by someone else and will therefore be sold on the site, but as always the intention will be to make it affordable and not to extort money from my readers.

Feedback required.

As always I will really appreciate some feedback from you. That way I know if we are going in the right direction or not. For one thing I am still puzzled by the fact that I have a fairly high number of visitors on the site every day. People who are reading the blogs and revisiting some of the old blogs. I can see that from the statistics that I get from the site, but I don’t get any feedback from these visitors. It either means that these people want to be left alone to browse the content and then try it out for themselves or it is repeat visitors that are stil searching for more information from the site in order to assist them in their own weight-loss exercise. As you can see I am not quite sure what to make of this and I really would like you to help me out here by talking to me and letting your voices be heard. That way I can help you with what you require and your feedback will show me if I am achieving what I set out to do or not.
