Day 1- Introduction

This blog is what it is. I am going to document my attempt to lose 40-55 lbs. I am doing this for myself, as a way to track my progress. If anyone reads it, I hope it is enjoyable and simple. I’m not going to spend a lot of time “blogging” about my progress for the time being, I’ll simply post my stats and Maybe some progressive pics of my fat body as it loses weight..we’ll see. If things start going really well, I’ll then take the time to expound on the things that have helped me lose the weight, but until I prove myself, I’m guessing you don’t care!! The following is my overall goals and start-point stats

Goals:

  1. Get down to 200 pounds and then evaluate new weight goal. I weighed 185 pounds on my wedding day almost 3 years ago, I have since gained 55.5 pounds and weighed in today at 240.5.
  2. Run a 5k under 25 minutes by end of July, at that point schedule a marathon to train for. I used to run a lot, and now my weight has made it very hard on my joints, so I’ll start easy.
  3. Update this blog at least 3 times a week. I feel continually updating this blog will give me a sense of accountability in my weight loss. I generally lose weight very quickly up front in past diets, but then fall off the diet and don’t get back on, my hope is that this will keep me on track.

Stats:

  • April 16th 2007 I weighed in at 240.5 lbs (I’m only 5′11, so thats not good.)
  • I just ran 2 miles last week, and it took me roughly 24 minutes! I’ll update this stat weekly.
