30lbs in 30 DAYS!!!

I've created a goal of losing 30lbs over the next 30 days. I am not recommending what I'm doing to anyone and I do also recognize the effects this could have on my health over the long term.

Now that I've mentioned that I can tell you why I'm doing this and what my goals are. Over the last few years I've put on a serious amount of weight and now sit at 263lbs. In 2003 I weighed 195lbs and what I looked like then I'm now a far cry from. I wanted to do something exciting and new that would kick start my new found healthy lifestyle.

So I've decided to do a thirty day challenge to try and lose 30lbs and wake my body up to kick start fat loss. My goal isn't necessarily to be 30lbs lighter in 30 days but just to make significant progress in my body shape and composition. I'll be sticking to the following guidelines:

1. 1900 daily calorie diet
-limit of 150 net carbs daily
2. 45 minutes of interval elliptical cardio daily
3. 1.5 mile test run daily
4. 10-20 minutes of push ups, sit ups and weight/core training daily

I will take some measurements tonight and also post some starting off pics later in the week! You don't have to post in this thread if you don't want to. I just needed to put this out there so that I can hold myself accountable.
