So... yeah.

This isn't the first blog I've had, but I'm hoping that this iteration will have a completely different direction than prior attempts at plastering my life all over the Tubes. Inspired by my cousin Stephen, I'm going to try my hand at documenting my weight loss.

Truth be told, it does feel a little bit late in the game to start writing about it now. You see, in mid 2007 I'd started out with a weight of 197lbs. Today, I'm down to 143lbs (54lbs lost so far). I'm not ready to stop yet - I'd like to lose another 25-30lbs or so. That may sound light, but I'm short and have a small frame... so it's within a healthy range for me.

I don't expect people to be especially interested in what I have to say. I don't plan on linking it to most people I know... at least not for awhile. I'm trying this out to keep myself honest about the whole thing and to help prevent myself from going off-track.

So anyway, here I am. Future posts will detail how I got here and where I hope to go.
