April Fool's
So last April 1 I had the holy crap I'm fat moment when I split the seat in my pants getting out of my car for work. That was my official line in the sand.

Lifting Weights
I've been at this weight loss thing since last spring and kicking it around MFP since August. I've cut about 40 lbs since the beginning, beginning with mostly calorie deficit, cardio, and body weight exercises. I want to pick up heavy stuff now.

Progress report
So my journey began back in April. I didn't really have a plan or a goal, I just knew I needed to live life better. I lost my mother when I was 17 years old. She was only 40.

August 12 I started my 10 day juice fast and August 13 I started going to the gym. I have consistently piled up at least two days of just cardio since then. Five weeks…

Tailgating?
So how in the world do I tailgate now? I've spent 20 years as an adult killing cases of beer and dark liquor and eating whatever I wanted to on Saturdays while I cheered on my beloved Dawgs and Noles. Part of my journey is not giving up my life, so as I am two days away from opening day, how in the world do I reasonably…

195 Here I come
Hello all. I recently finished a 10 day juice fast and somewhere in that 10 days I realized that my life was passing me by. On my next bday I will have outlived my mother and I've lost several friends these last few years and their weight was a key factor. I've got big goals and things I want to do for myself and hopefully…
