COLD HARD FACTS

OK, we just bought a scale, and here are the cold hard facts.
INITIAL WEIGH IN - 270 lbs (4/28/09)

So my plan is to reach 2/3 of 270, which is 180 - I've got 90 pounds to lose!

My goal is to average 5 pounds a month over the next 18 months - reaching 180 pounds by November 1st of 2010.

It's exciting, but a bit nerve-wracking at the same time! What if . . . ?

Just starting

Hi, I'm trying a new thing here. I'm an all or nothing kind of person, and I've pretty much been in the "nothing" department lately on a good goal I'd like to see myself attain. My body is overweight, obese, fat, chunky, you choose the adjective. I'd like to see a 1/3 reduction in my overall mass. My plan is simple; reduce calories, get regular exercise, and enter a weekly blog post about my progress. I'm expecting that the accountability and systematic checking will help me make consistent progress toward becoming two-thirds the man I used to be!
