It seems as if political blogging is conducive with putting on weight. Iain Dale and Tory Radio have both announced recently they are going on a sponsored slim. I am not planning to do that, but I have put on some weight over the summer. I am not someone who weighs himself at regular intervals; I don't even own a set in bathroom scales, but judging from how tight my trousers feel at the moment and looking at my expanding waistline in the mirror, I reckon I've managed to put on around 14 pounds. As I do not plan to go out and buy new suits for the party conference, I am hoping to lose about 9 or 10 pounds the next three weeks. Wish me luck!
UPDATE: I've just bought some scales. I weigh in at 12 stones 7 pounds. Putting that into a BMI calculator, my BMI is 25.7. If I want to be in the mid range, I will need to lose around 20 pounds.

A word of advice: Buy a camera.
I went down to 14st 2lbs in April after a lot of work. Everyone said I looked ill and washed out and my BMI was 25.1 . The whole BMI thing is rubbish. My BMI now is about 26.5 and whilst I am not as slim as I was, I can run 6km in 28 mins and am fit an healthy.
Do take in to account what your frame and bones are like. I am genuinely big boned.
