I am a 6 foot, 33 year old male, and I have been in the 215-225 pound range for most of the last 10 years of my life. My body hides the weight well, but that is still in the obese category. There was a few months where mostly just I stopped eating and dipped under 200 pounds, but that of course was short lived, and I quickly gained it all back. Currently I am a full time husband and father, and I take that job very seriously. We spend most of our entire Sunday doing church activities, and I am on the road traveling around the Northwest at least one full week a month with my full time desk job. With all of the diet programs, pills, and gimmicks that we are inundated with today, each telling me that it's the one thing I need to finally start shedding the pounds, I was left wondering; can a guy like me who has very little free time and has been obese for the last 3rd of his life lose weight quickly and safely without spending hundreds of dollars on any of these gimmicks? Here is where my goal comes in, my mission unflabbable. To go from 220 pounds to 185 pounds in 85 days, less than 3 months using only good nutrition and exercise. To add a little incentive, I entered a "biggest looser" contest with 5 of my family members, and we each have $10 on the line.
I actually started loosing weight the day after Christmas, but just found this website yesterday, and I am excited about networking and sharing my story as well as encouraging others in their weight loss journey.
