South Beach Diary
One man's fight with the South Beach police

A blog by Irish Personal Trainer Neil McTeggart. Expect to find everything to help you on your muscle gain / fat loss journey - simple guides and helpful tips all mixed in together and deleivered in an entertaining way !

This is my blog about my daily life now that I am no longer super morbidly obese. I did not have gastric bypass and I did not start on a fad diet plan. I am just a normal person who decided after a health scare that I needed to get my health back. In June 2005 I had a scare with my blood pressure that really got my attention. I started July 1, 2005 doing what I had to do in order to gain my health and lose my weight. I started at 330 pounds but at one point my weight was probably more like 350. I asked the Lord to help me lose my weight. I knew I had to get real and to stop losing 5-25 pounds and then gaining back more than that. I basically started researching weight loss and came up with a plan that I knew I could live with the rest of my life. I knew that I had to change my eating habits and start moving! I started eating six small meals each day that were high in protein and fiber. I still eat that way and have found that it keeps me feeling full all the time. I started moving by walking a few steps a day and worked my way to walking 3 miles every morning. Once I was able to do that I decided to join the local YMCA in order to really tone and increase my cardio. Now, 18 months later I have lost the weight, I wear a size 6, and I feel great!!!

My Diet Blog
My-diet blog is a community of like minded people who blog about their trials, struggles and hopefully success with trying to lose weight, stay healthy and fit. Sometimes you can feel very alone and frustrated on the journey to loose weight. On a bad day, an encouraging word or guidance from someone going through the same thing can be just what you need. That is why I started “my-dietblog”. It is more than a web-community, it is a community for support, information and guidance as well as a place to find resources about health, fitness and diet.
