lose weight

I have started taking some steps. I have greatly cut down on the amount of sugar I intake (not drinking soda, no sugar in my tea, etc). I have also started to not eat big portions, as this has been my issue since my kids were born. I always would take my serving and then would end up “cleaning up” what they did not eat. Oh, and I did stop eating at night and with that I saw about an 8 pound loss! I have been fluctuating a lot lately, I will drop a few then gain back. I know if I throw exercise into the mix, it will not only help lose, but help keep it off.

Like I said…steps!

By the way, thanks for inviting me to the team. It does help to remind me that I am not alone in this goal!

I am a big guy, with a big frame but at my current 250 pounds (I believe that is around 114 kilograms, for you who use metric), I am simply not at my ideal weight. I am thinking that I would ideally like to be somewhere around 200 pounds (~91Kg), so guess that is my goal. However, I did not state that because I might get to 225 and feel good and stick with that or I might get to 200 and not feel good, so I am keeping my options open by saying my goal is to lose weight.
