So here's a candid look at my weight loss progress. Because I'm bored and like most people these days I tend to over-share. In August of 2010 I weighed 245lbs. (I've been hovering around 240 for quite a few years now.) Today I weigh 212lbs. My goal weight is 165. That will be a pretty healthy weight for me. When I break the 200 mark it will be the first time since graduating from high school that I weigh less than 200lbs! That's mind-blowing for me.
It's funny, people always ask me how I'm losing weight, as if I possess some secret that will help them. There's no secret and it isn't complicated, just burn more calories than you take in every day. That's the only way to burn stored up fat. I just cut down on how much I eat, I do cardio and weights 3x a week and practice yoga almost every day. If you want to lose weight you just have to start living healthier, but the trick to that is wanting to do it. Willpower and perseverance will only get you so far. For a permanent lifestyle change you have to really want it. I really feel this is a permanent change for me, not just some phase I'm going through. That's all I have to say about it for now. I'll check back in a few months and let you know how I'm doing.
P.S. Hey, today's date is 1/11/11 - cool!
