It is time #1 - 300

I want to lose weight. I have been thinking about it a lot for about a year now. I don’t just want to lose weight though. I feel very week at times; hauling my ass up stairs or having to move boxes or furniture. I can just tell that I don’t have the strength that I once had not all that long ago. I know when I was in the military I did not led the healthiest life but I did a lot of physical activity while working plus I worked out more than I do now. That lifestyle from the military followed me for the next eleven years, all except the physical activity and working out. That now makes fifteen plus years where I mainly ate fast food or at chain restaurants and made the usual bad choices on what to eat. During the last eleven years with the exception of a few month spurts here and there I have been very inactive and the combination has caused me to go from 186lbs at the end of my last deployment to 300lbs now today.

Here are two pictures of me from the last month in the military around October 1997.

My hope is that this public display of my current status and the public announcement to make at least one update a month on my progress or lack of progress however it goes will be some extra motivation to at least try to make some progress each month. I say each month because I plan to try to change my lifestyle not go on a diet and workout some and that progress may be slow at time so to keep myself from not seeing progress I am only going to weigh myself once a month on or around the 10th of each month.

Here is a picture of me today. I am not comfortable posting this picture but again this is supposed to be bad that is the point right; more motivation for me.
