and to find a new me.
I’m overweight.
Correction, I am morbidly obese. This is not something I say lightly (ha ha). I am in serious trouble and need to find a way out on my own. I know that I don’t want to do surgery, which is not the right path for me. I’m not sure what path is right for me, but I’m positive surgical intervention will not fix the mental part of me that got me to this point. This is kind of the point of this blog among with a few other points. I want to hold myself more accountable for my actions and document my progress (fingers crossed).
So let’s see where to begin.
Weight: 422 lbs.
Height: 5 foot 10 inches.
BMI (according to a website calculator): 60.6%
I decided to break things down into mini goals, halfway goal and overall goal. According to a handy little online calculator, I’m supposed to be between 132-174lbs. To be honest I’ll be happy at 180. Plus, I like the round number.
Overall goal: 180 lbs. (242 lbs. loss-that’s right a full grown overweight man is what I have to lose…yikes L.
Midway goal: 301 lbs. (a loss of 121lbs)
Mini goal: 412 by August 1st (10 lbs. loss)
I think for my next check in I’m going to hunt down a measuring tape and take some measurements of the limbs and my waist.
