Confessions of a Pudgy Guy

Ranked #46,446 in Healthy Living, #565,099 overall

This will be my lens on how I lose weight.  I am starting out at 208 LBS.  My goal is to get down to 185 LBS.  If it matters I am right at 6 feet tall.  I am going to use this and my obsession with stats to fuel my weight loss.  See below for the daily weight update.  I will weigh myself every morning to make sure I have consistent data.  This will help me to put a control on what I eat, how much, the amount of exercise, etc. 

By the way - You may notice in the picture that my daughter was experimenting with how to wear her headband. 

Weight Loss and Me

Or the lack thereof

I am one of those people that never had to work out until I got married. I then packed on the pounds amazingly fast only to lose most of it after my son was born. I have not been so lucky since. I find reasons or excuses to not go jogging, etc. Such as "Gee, it sprinkled last night... I don't want to get my shoes wet because they will start stinking." Etc. Etc. I have realized through the help of a friend (see below module for a link to her lenses) that I am a stat junkie almost of her caliber. Therefore putting this down in a Squidoo lens and tracking will help me to lose the weight I need to. I am only doing this for my health and my kids. I want to be around for a long time.

Updates

Where have I been?

So it has been a really long time since I updated this lense. Yikes. I am still at the 210 but I have started taking some pretty long walks in the evening and working on changing some eating habits. The walks are nice to clear my head. So I am now working to shed some pounds and keep them off this time. Lifestyle change. Thanks for stopping by!
