I am a man in my late 40's. Currently, I am not the heaviest I have ever been, but I am perilously close. For a few weeks I have been telling myself that I really do need to lose some weight. About a week ago, two things took place that made me finally start my quest to shed some tonnage. First and foremost, I got tired of feeling crappy all the time. Second was when I split the seat out of a pair of pants. I am pretty sure that I caught my pants on something and that caused the tear, but the thought that it just might be my big behind was a concern.
Earlier this week, I weighed in at 226 lbs, about four pounds shy of my previous high. In the past, I have always felt pretty good at around 200 lbs. According to the weight charts and body mass index, I should weigh between 155-175lbs. I have two goals right now. There are currently 15 weeks left in 2009. If I could lose 1.5 lbs per week, I could be at 200 lbs by the end of the year. If I can make that, then I want to shoot for around 180 lbs by summer and try to maintain that weight.
While I do intend to touch on my weight loss adventure on this blog, the title of the blog is Dickster's Food & Diet Blog so I intend more to focus on the food aspect. I have spent most of my life in the retail food industry. I intend to review food items that I find that I particularly have enjoyed, recipes that I like, and any food and nutrition news that I come across in my travels. Feel free to join in the journey.
