lose 80 pounds

I just got back from the doctor.

And I’ve gained some pounds. But he doesn’t want me really exercising too much until I have these _hopefullylast 2 tests done.

Anyways, right now I’m at 212. Which means losing 80 pounds would put me at 132.

Still in the range I want to be in.

169 _{by next July} This will put me out of the obese group and into the overweight group.

140 _{by next November} This will put me out of the overweight group and into the healty group.

That number is my weight right now. I just left the bathroom to weigh myself.

That weight is the highest I’ve ever been. Or at least the highest I’ve think I’ve ever been.

Either way, I don’t like it and I need to change.

In the past 5 months, I’ve gained 20 pounds. That’s 4 pounds a month.

I have a personal challenge to lose all the weight by my next birthday. Which is in 58 days. Of course I’m not going to be able to lose 80 pounds in 80 days.

But because of this entry I am going to make this my main goal. The goal I want to get rid of.

Let’s say by _{sometime in} December 2008. That’s a whole year.

That’s a loss of 1.5 pounds a week.
