Hello, my name is Jon. I am 38 years old, married and have four children. And in the immortal words of Dewey Oxburger, I have a slight weight problem. At 5'7 and 212 pounds with a sedentary desk job, I have been meaning to lose weight forever. Well, a few days ago (with my consent), my wife signed me up for NutriSystem D. This is for everyone, but has been specifically been designed for those who have or are at risk for type 2 diabetes. Given my statistics and the fact that my father has diabetes, I figure that this is probably for me.
I will chronicle my progress - attempting to give a day by account of my first 28 days as a way to hopefully inspire others and also to hold myself accountable. I have also found that in only the first day a few very humorous things have popped up - not the least of which is the portion size, hence the name of my blog.
Slim Pickings....
