Unlike other "Weight Loss" Blogs... I have already achieved most of my goals before I started this. I still want to lose about 10-15lbs, however I would be happy to stay where I am the rest of my life.. there is no dire need for me to get thinner than I am currently I do however want to work on my upper body strength. Being a Cyclist(Recreational and Commuting) my legs are already strong but my upper body needs work. I started this Journey at 287lbs on February 2nd 2010, and today, October 6th 2010 I'm at 219.6lbs. According to my Body Mass Index, I'm still considered Obese until I get to about 210lbs and Overweight till I get to 175lbs. I would be a toothpick at 175lbs so I will disregard my BMI after I reach "Overweight" status. Ideally if I could get to about 190 and then put on 15-20lbs of muscle mass I think that would be ideal for me.
I want to thank the following people, organizations, applications, Businesses and Websites for helping me get this far:
People: Christine!!(first and foremost, always!), Kurt Weiland(for allowing me to park my bike in the techshop, putting up with my occasional tardiness and encouraging me, now if you could just work on your managerial skills that would be great!!), all my workmates and friends at Microcenter for their kind words and encouragement. And of course myself, it may seem selfish to thank myself but this is 90% will power..
Organizations: The Columbus Parks and Recreation Department and the Metroparks, Livestrong
Applications: Loseit App for iPhone, Myfitnesspal.com app for iPhone, Endomondo app for iPhone.
Businesses: Performance Bike, Nature's Plus, Vitamin Shoppe, Functiondrinks.com, Avitae45.com, Subway
Websites: Blogger.com, thedailyplate.com
I'm sure I have missed some in this list. I may edit for completeness later on!
