Self improvement include health and lifestyle? Weight Loss?

[allenmj]

Still fairly new here, so I hope this isn't off topic.

 

Since I'm a newly singled full time father, I've come to the conclusion that my daughter needs me around for as long as I can hang. Seeing as how I'm obese, I better do something about it.

 

At work, my co-workers and I just started an in-house biggest loser contest, and we've split off into teams for a friendly competition. They just did a singles competition, and it was a lot of fun and no hard feelings came from it, and from 7 people participating, average weight loss was around 17 pounds over 4 months. Not bad. (I did not participate)

 

The winner of the last contest is my partner, and he is a fitness buff with a lot of nutritional knowledge. I feel confident about the success I can have.

 

So, I figure since I'm discussing my other issues on this forum, might as well post out my travel down the weight loss road.

 

For those curious, we did our weigh-in this morning. I'm sitting at 350 exactly. In the military at my ideal weight, I was at 260. My goal is to lose 60 pounds over the next 6 months.

 

And, here I go.

Good luck!

 

Have faith in yourself and stay true to your goals. Always think of your daughter!

 

YOU CAN DO IT!

You can do it!!! The feeling of accomplishment will be euphoric once you reach your goal. Your daughter will be really proud of you too.

Thanks for the replies.

 

 

I guess in my tired state when I posted this, i didn't notice there was a weight loss forum section directly under this one.

 

If theres a mod watching, perhaps you could move the thread for me?

 

My apologies.
