I am starting my blogging career back up but this time on the topic of losing my massive amount of weight I have gained.

Currently I am around 5' 8". I have not measured myself in quite some time but since that is what is on my driver's license we will go with it. I am 236 pounds and 46 inches around my belly button. My Body Mass Index (BMI) is 35.9. This is in the obese category. For my BMI to be considered in the normal range I have to make it to 164 pounds. I doubt I will be growing any taller so losing the weight is the only option to get my BMI down.

How about some fun with numbers?

If I currently weight in at 236 lbs and need/want to make it to 164 lbs that means I have to lose 72 lbs. I weight almost as much as 15 bowling balls. I want to lose 5 of them. That is 1/3rd of my weight. That is a lot of weight I want to lose. I remember hear some where that losing 2lbs a week is a healthy amount. So saying I lose 2lbs a week it will talk me 36 weeks to reach my goal. 36 weeks from today is October 24th.

Once again my goals:

  • Main objective is 164 lbs.
  • Losing 2lbs a week or more.
  • Completion on or by October 24th.
  • Over all just feel better.
Tomorrow I will discuss my plan for reaching my goals.
