Hello People. I was motivated by others' results and documents made online about their battle with obesity, and i'm basically at the height of obesity in my life right now, so i decided to chronicle my journey online. My Goal is 250 lbs body weight. I want to lose a pound a week but time isn't as important as the goal.

Before I start, Here are my pictures.

And my starting weight is 319.5. Measured 4-12-2010 at bedtime.

4-12-2010:
I'm ready to start losing weight. I'm not going to go too much into my diet or lifestyle here online, probably because i don't want to embarrass myself too much as far as what i do to eat right and workout right. And i don't want a flood of opinions that always seem so close by.
I just want to note that I want to do it by eating less and exercising more. But that i'll probably try and go slow because I hate the suffering that i see on the biggest loser and stuff. I'll try and update every day or 3 just so you know my weight and my thoughts. If i mess up big time i might mention it but if i succeed which is the point of this whole thing, i'll be talking about that too. Anyway don't expect this page to be too professional, it's just a way of making me feel like i MUST lose weight and what better place it seems than online. (these days that's the way people are doing it). Maybe i'm just looking for something as a pass time. Well, we're going to bed so talk again later

woke up 830. had a weight loss shake from walmart. don’t expect to eat again till noon.
Had 2 turkey sandwiches at old grandmas. Had strip cheese, little popcorn.
Dinner, had a bunch of wings, ranch and fries, and bite of hamburger.
Weigh in, 317.5. Still lost a little weight... Started the day right and ate too much at dinner but i'll live with that number.

had weightloss shake for breakfast.
had little bit of hamburger and fries.
had 2 bologna sandwiches with pickles and no condiments. had carrots. very hungry right now it's 1:27pm
had rice and mushroom soup, I know gross. and shouldn't have before dinner but was hungry.
for dinner had hot dogs steak potatoes and cheese that amanda made. ate pretty piggy. won't eat again tonight i presume.
didn't eat again, and my weight was 316.5. Inching back down. I don't ever want to "hit the wall" where i don't lose anymore but you can't lose a pound a day all the time i know that.

I ate shake for breakfast,
balogna sandwhich without condiments,
chicken alfredo hormel, beef stew hormel, 3 glasses of milk , tacos with french onion dip and chips.

I drank a shake
had rice and mushroom soup, and milk
rest of taco meat from last night and taco crips and milk
chicken noodle soup
and last, at culvers fries (lots), and double burger, and some ice cream.
so i ate a lot, and i weigh 316.5 again. No shock but i'd almost thought i'd have gained.

I had doughnuts for breakfast (2 little ones)
I had sandwhiches meat bread cheese butter and chips and dip and cake. also had a real root bear.
I then had mankato chick nuggets, bbq ribs, breaded crab, salad bacon dressing, bread butter, augratin potatoes, and maybe more.
I won't lie i had a few pieces of ham and cheese for late snack after everybody went to sleep. ha ha.
