Alright,
So, I admit, I have a weight problem. I am making this public (not that it already isn't) because I want some encouragement from outside sources. (not just family and friends)
At one time in my life, I lost 110lbs over the course of a year, when I was still in highschool. I excersized and ate right. I didn't go on any sort of pill or diet plan, and I am going to do this one more time.
Loosing weight like this has to be a life change or else it isn't going to work. I admit that I have been eating second helpings, drinking five or six sodas a day, rarely excersizing beyond work, and snacking on very unhealthy foods sometimes. In the last year, I have also been eating out a lot at fast food restaurants because there was really no time to cook any meals. On top of that, I also ate a lot of carbohydrates because of Romman Noodles (because I couldn't afford anything else)
I thought I was six foot 3, but I re-measured and I am actually 6'1". (it's amazing how much bigger/taller we think we are, eh?) I am also currently 270lbs as of this morning.
This means that I have a body mass index of 35.6. This means that technically, I am morbidly obese. My target body mass index is 24.5 with a weight of 182.
I naturally have a large frame/big bones. When I lost a lot of weight, I was still a very broad shouldered person. I also looked normal/healthy when I was 210lbs. I think 182 is going to be loosing too much weight, so I am going to aim for 210lbs.
Every day on here, I am going to "write down" what my current weight is and hopefully I will see some change over time. I will also try to write down things that I have eaten so you all can critisize me all you want! yay!
My predictions: I'm going to loose 5lbs a week for two months, then reach a plateau where I won't loose any weight. Then, I have to ramp up my excersize routine to loose more weight. By this time next year, I should loose at least 60lbs and stay that way.
