On Wed the 16th I stepped on the scale and saw 280lbs. It hit me that I was not very far from 300. With a young son I was having trouble keeping up with and a wife that deserved so much more (or less) from me, I decided I needed to do something. I stumbled out of luck across MFP on the itunes site.

The first day was a HUGE wake up call. I got serious after that. I forgot what it was like to feel hungry before I eat! Snacks, big portions, and eating whatever I wanted was ... suprise suprise, not healthy.

One week down. I have lost 5 lbs. Exercised every day. Kept well below my calorie count each day. And I have experienced something I wasn't expecting: FUN. It has actually been fun, and I have not been tempted by nearly so much as I thought I would. I have never really dieted before. I'm not sure I would even call this a diet. It's more like "being aware" and making informed decisions.

I look forward to where this will lead me.
