Hello All, To start out, I am a 29 year old male, weighing in at 257 pounds. I am 5’11″ and would like to, no, will get down to 200lbs. I would like to lose the weight by Jan. 2011. I am sharing this information because I have too. I need to drop weight and become more pro-active in my dieting to do so. I have to be accountable for my eating and activity. I have a baby on the way and recently lost someone very close to me to heart disease. I want to be around to see my baby grow up and watch my

wife grow old with me. My goal in sharing this information is to purely motivate myself. I hope my experience can show someone what to do or what not to do. I am no expert and I will make plenty of mistakes. At least once a day, I plan to post what and when I eat. I am also going to include an exercise I might do. If anyone has tips or comments please feel free to share. I am going to start the diet and activity tomorrow. I hope this works.
