Well, I am in the absolute worst shape of my life, both physically and mentally. I have an addiction to the taste of greasy food and alcohol. I've always been the "chubby kid" and that mentality has carried on until now. I'm 41. It is time to work through some of the destructive habits and make the life (and body) that I've always wanted.

Unfortunately, I've been dealing with weight issues for so long, that I've been through every diet and have always worked out. However, the big change in my life happened when I retired from the military two years ago and I am no longer accountable to an external entity, and I am not very good at holding myself accountable. So, here I am, seeking another external force to keep me accountable. At 5'11", my BMI is around 36 and I've ballooned to over 250lbs. I am on cholesterol medications and I want to get off them. I have a thyroid condition as well, but I think the meds are calibrated and working okay.

I just really want to get healthy and feel better. I want to be better for my lovely wife as well.

I always been a very good starter, but a poor finisher, so I want to change. I want to make health and fitness a part of my daily life.
I will get on the scale and take all my measurements tomorrow morning Monday 1/24/2011...and I pray to get this body moving.
My goal weight is under 200lbs. I will work closely with my coach to determine the best way to pursue that goal weight.

Thanks for motivating me you all!
