2-3 years ago I lost 116 pounds dropping my weight from 316 down to 200. Over the last 2 years I've gained half of that back(260 lbs on January 1st). Weighed in today at 252.5 lbs.

I am doing a weight loss challenge at work. I am the heaviest contestant and the youngest contestant. With my body type and a little bit of hard work I can easily drop 5 lbs on a weekly basis(I've done it before and if I push hard, dropping 8-10 lbs in 1 week is doable). I am not going for 8-10 lbs/week, I am shooting for 5 lbs a week. I've started transitioning my eating lifestyle(again) to a healthier version.

Eating is half the battle. The other half is getting up off my "fat, lazy" butt and go for the loss. Unfortunately I lack some ability to hold myself accountable for certain things or staying motivated. I ask the forums for support over the next 4+ weeks of the challenge and and beyond. I ask also for someone to be a person I can "answer to" through PM or text. For some reason I am better motivated to do a good job when disappointing someone else is a factor.


I'm also thinking this thread should be updated on a daily basis, the routine will help prevent slacking.

I start training tomorrow morning. Weigh in is every Friday.
