Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!"
Goals:
1) Lose ~45 pounds
2) Work out at least 6 days a week
3) Eat healthier consistently
I will reward myself at the following weights: 240, 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195, 190
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

Is it just chocolate ... in the shape of bugs or is it actually bugs?

It's all just chocolate, except the bodies have corn flakes (crunchy, yum!), the head is candied orange peel, and the legs are dried squid jerky.
No bugs were actually harmed in making them.
I should also add that in Japan, youchuu are fairly popular as pets (or rather, the beetles are). You can buy real youchuu or beetles at almost any department store, let alone pet store, for $5 to $10 -- so the sight of the little critters doesn't cause quite the same reaction in Japan. I was never in Japan at the right time to buy youchuu, but I did buy a pair of kabutomushi beetles in July last year. Pretty neat.

Penn State has an insect fair every year where the buggy treats are real. I've never gone and haven't had much desire to try any Chocolate Chirpies anyway.

Not much to say, I like playing video games and watching/playing sports. I work as a web developer for a small company.
I think when I get into shape I want to become a volunteer firefighter.
Goal: Lose 35lbs before Cardio King

Shrimps, crabs, and lobster are close enough to being insects that it shouldn't be that strange.
I have to admit, I draw the line at eating insects. Part of me says it's not rational and it's only my cultural conditioning, but there you go.
I heard a saying once though: "Never ask what it is you're eating until well after you're done."

I'm looking at a total weight loss of over 130 lbs (60 kg for those of you in Europe like me...), from 150 kg to 90 kg (330 lbs to 198 lbs). I'm a 36 year old man and am REALLY tired of... well being tired.
So far I've been training like a mofo, and have totally revisited my diet - so far so good, 1/3 of my goal HAS been met - YIPPEE!!
Have met some great people here, and looking forward to meeting even more here on traineo - don't be afraid to bombard me with motivation - I'll take all you can give me :)

Ara, The Great Insect Fair is in October. Here is the direct link to their site. I always thought about going, but I've never done it. You know how it is when you live by something. You only take people there when they're visiting from out of town.
I always meant to mention I liked your throwback Steelers jersey in your photo.
