Hey! Glad you could join me!

My name is Steve and my goal is to lose 80 pounds in 8 months with simply modifying my diet and starting to exercise again. That would be about a 10 pound drop in weight per month between now and Thanksgiving.

I’m about to start my journey… “exorcising” my fat suit!!!   Demons be gone!

I’ve lost a bunch of weight in the past but my theory is this: Our bodies are like memory foam mattresses, the bigger you get, the easier it is to get back to being that BIG.

A few years ago, I weighed 265 pounds and I got down to 235 pounds for a trip to Hawaii. Then I shot back up to 285! At that point, I tried again to lose my fat suit and managed to get back down to 255 pounds. Since then, I’ve managed to really let my weight skyrocket.

In high school, I was about 225 pounds. My goal is to get all the way back to that weight… and stay there. My doctor says I should weigh around 190 pounds for my height, but I would be ecstatic if I could just get back to my high school weight. 

I weighed myself  this morning and the scale hit a daunting 305 pounds. Oh boy! Now I’m in the red zone for all sorts of bad things to happen to my health. As I approach my 38th birthday, I am making a pact with myself to drop the fat suit that I’ve been carrying around for years and start living life like a normal, healthy guy. This will improve my overall health… both mentally and physically. I’ll keep you posted!
