Wecome To My Blog

I have a had lifetime weight problem. Being overweight is something that had affected me tremendously from the quiet devastation of going into a dressing room and not having clothes fit anymore to being ashamed of taking my shirt off at the pool or at the beach to having difficulty breathing and being tired easily. There are times when I have gotten into shape and lost tremendous amounts of weight because there was a significant event happening that inspired me to make a change. In 1999, I started a program where I lost 77 pounds because I did not want to start the new millenium in 200o overweight. In early 2007, I lost 83 pounds because I just turned 39 and wanted to be "forty and fabulous" when I turned 40 in 2008. The picture you see at the top of this page was when I was 180 pounds in February of 2008 when I reached by early goal weight. I was little too thin but I had the ab definition that I always wanted which was amazing since I started that program at an obese 260 pounds.

Now I started my new program at 219 pounds which is a 39 pound gain in weight just since last year. Really horrible. My goal is to hit between 180 and 185 pounds by Valentines Day in the new millenium of 2010. I want to the weight-loss to be a Valentines Day present for my wife, for me and for our marriage. I hope anyone reading this who has had a weight problemw will join me in an effort to go into the new millenium "fit and fabulous".

Day 16 of the Challenge

Weighed in at 211.2 pounds so I am down over 8 pounds so far. I was sick with the flu but still managed to go to the gym and do 45 minutes of cardio on the stair climber and 500 crunches. Didn't have much energy left after that to do much weight-lifting so I bailed out of the gym. I have been reading a lot about bodybuilding online which has encouraged me to keep going after looking at the great physiques out there. I am still dreaming of the sub-200 pound goal. That is when every 5 pound loss makes a dramatic difference. Right now, I can hardly see my progress but I know I am going in the right direction.
