Hi everyone.
I'm so happy to be here and sharing this experience with all of you. I really have a total of 80 pounds to loose, but I decided to set a 50 pound goal to reach in 8 months first. I want to break that down into smaller monthly goals of 1.5 pounds a week. I can do it.

My method is going to be this:
1. Follow the Weight Watchers food program.
2. Attend one WW meeting a week.
3. Do a minimum of 30 minutes of of aerobic exercise 5 days a week.
4. Attend 3 yoga classes a week.
5. Journal everyday.
6. Check in here daily.

So the journey begins and I am grateful to be on it with all of you. Please drop me a note, your encouragement is appreciated. Also, I'd be happy to be a motivator to anyone else that I can be of service to.

With deepest thanks, Darcy

I have started two new blogs, one to follow my running and a Quest to a Marathon at blog.262quest.com and one to follow my weight loss at blog.2big.org, please check them out.

I am an IT professional / Developer which means I sit in front of a computer most of the day. This means very little exercise and plenty of time to eat.

I decided at the first of the year that I was going to lose weight. I started by changing my eating habits and started walking.

I did so for about a month and then added some weight lifting and started to run a little bit.

I have so far lost 29 lbs in just over 3 months and would like to lose just over another 50 lbs by the end of the year.

I have started running quite a bit more and am training to run the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta on July 4th (10k)

I need all the encouragement I can get because to do this I am getting up every morning during the week at 4:30 to go running. With a wife and kids this is really the only time that I can consistently do what I need to do.

I am driven, but at times get a bit discouraged because I don't have anybody to work out with or run with.

All in All, I know I can do it, I just have to remember that when I don't do so well, it is in the past and what matters is going forward.

I started to gain more and more weight a few years ago and decided it to be enough now. I want to get rid of this problem and now I wonder what let me wait for so long :)

I have always been slightly overweight, but last year I gained over 50 pounds. My doctor discovered that my thyroid was really underactive and has been working to correct it over the past six months. My thyroid is almost back to normal, but my body is not. I will have to work at lot harder to take this weight off than I did putting it on. My goal is to become a runner.

I have prioritized my job and grad school before my health and my mind and body took a beating as a result. I am coming upon an age milestone and want to reclaim my health and fitness! Mens sana in corpore sano!

****************************

Now starting a my second goal and last 10 ponds. These are a bear! I have a surfing vacation coming up so I have to vary my workouts for core strength, swimming endurance, and upper body conditioning. I think wearing a bathing suit and not wanting to drown will be serious motivation!

****************************

Part III: I had some diet fatigue over the holidays. That and the flu helped me to add some weight over the season.

Now, I'm getting back into it and commiting "40 days" until Easter to stay focused on my goals. My friends have given up candy and other things for Lent so I'm looking at it as making it easier to stay on track.

**************************
For the summer, I've changed my goals. I have been healthy (with times of diet fatigue) but I have been mostly in a maintenance mode.

Now, I have a new commitment to drop some more weight to be squarely within the "normal" BMI category. I am committed and can do it by the end of the year!

Wow, fell off the wagon for a while there. Trying to get back at it while keeping school top priority.

I'll keep it simple and say I haven't been to the gym very much in a while :) Hopefully I can work on that....

Uni graduate from Brisbane who likes to drink a little too much.

I was gone for awhile, but I'm back and ready to lose the 20 pounds I managed to gain back while I was away. Stupid stressful job. Stupid comfort food.

I'm looking to lose 10 of the 20 by the time I go on my much delayed honeymoon. (June 7th, 2008)

Some background...
January 16th, 2006=188 pounds.
January 16th, 2007=162 pounds.
January 16th, 2008=156 pounds.
