okay, here i am setting up my first blog...

i don't know where it may go but i'd sure be happy if my weight went down... way down.

i'm currently about 344 and would like to lose nearly 1/2 of my body weight (from a high point of 365) in say, a year and a half's time or so. i guess my first goal will be hitting the 300 mark. then 275 comes next. 25 pound incremeents sounds about right.

i plan on walking my dogs alot for exercise. i've actually been walking them in the local mountains since august of last year but haven't done anything diet-wise to correct what i take in - lots of stuff that get's converted to body fat like carbs and sugars. and so right now, i am eating healthy. when my wife makes a dinner meal that i feel is too carbo rich, i will just pass on it and make up some eggs topped off with fresh salsa or possible make an egg sandwich but i always eat unlimited vegetables. sugars are out.

i hope this blog can help keep me on track with the encouragement of you guys. i know it's all to easy to jump ship and go right back to my old habits as i've been on diets before and all of them have failed.

so how is it any different this time around?

well, i don't know yet... but here i am, 20 pounds lighter than i was the beginning of last month. i guess that's a good start. maybe i just need to take things one day at a time.
