Okay, so I get it.

Since I quit soccer in 2001 or so, I've gained a substantial amount of weight. I realize that it's my own doing and I've finally decided that I'm going to finally do something about it.

My Body Mass Index is 29. An average weight would calculate as 18.5-24.9 BMI, overweight people fall in the 25-29.9 range, and a BMI of 30 or greater is considered obese. The proximity of my BMI to the obese range is of great concern to me. So, time to fix it. I will post regularly on this site as to provide a little peer pressure to keep going, unlike last time, where I got down to 159 lbs.

My goals are to get to 145 lbs, which would get me to a healthy 23.4 BMI. Not too lofty of an expectation, I hope.

So, here goes, my first entry. Onward and upward!

08/03/2008: 180.0 lbs (+35.0 to target) / 29.0 BMI (+5.6 to target)
