Male, 26 Years old
Providence, RI
Looking for:
Diet, Support Buddies
About me:
I have decided to start this blog because I am fat and I want to lose weight. I am a 26 year old male living in Providence, RI and I have struggled with weight my whole life. I think charting my progress on a blog may help.

I have always been strong (captain of the football team, haha!), but through college and afterwards I just packed on the fat. A few too many keg parties. Than come graduate school and no money for a real diet. But now my career is taking off and I have the time/money to devote to myself, so here we go.

My family has a history of heart disease and diabetes, so I am a walking time bomb. Its time to make some changes.

I am not sure what I currently weigh, I don't really want to know. I know that at one point I weighed 288 lbs. Than I started working out. I have been working out for about 4 years but my weight now just fluctuates between 240 lbs and 265 lbs. I cannot seem to get past that mark or maintain any gains I make. I would rather track myself through body measurements than on the scale. I think maybe bi-monthly weigh-ins will work for me.

I stopped working out for the past 4 months and spent a lot of time reading about fitness and trying to learn what will work best for me.

On this blog I hope to chart out my successes, my failures, my goals. I am hopeful that people will help me learn more along the way or that someone wants to join in with me to work on this together.

Stay tuned, this will hopefully be fun (hard work, but fun)
Who I hope to meet:
Anyone looking to have fun and offer that little bit of extra advice or motivation. I think this will be easier with help!

I would love to chat with someone or offer advice. Let me know if you want loving support or more direct encouragement.

Hi Mark,

I know how it feels to not be happy with your weight. I have been overweight for 13yrs. now. It sucks. I decided it was time to lose the weight and keep better track of my eating habbits and work-outs. This site has really helped. So keep up the good work and good luck.
