weight loss

All of my life I have struggled with my weight. Who hasn't?

I'm at my heaviest weight ever... 247 pounds. THAT'S RIGHT 247 POUNDS, PEOPLE!!!
This evening I got on the elliptical when I moved back from England in 2004 (weighing 150) I would work out on an elliptical for an hour a day plus go jogging. This evening I did 10 minutes and broke a sweat ever 2 minutes. What has happened to me?

Well I've been asking myself that. I could go into the neaty gritty but I don't want to bore you. My life has been a roller coaster ride, it always has been. From stress, to long hours at work, to horrible commutes all at different times made it impossible for me to work out. I'm done with it, I'm done being 247pounds. I'm large then some of the female contestants on the biggest loser. (And yes I have thought more than once about auditioning for it. )

What am I going to do about it? I want to ask for help for friends to help motivate me to live healthy, but them alone won't do help me. I've signed up to see a nutritionist at Kaiser to help me with my eating habits. And I need to work out 5 times a week for an hour.

My goal should I reach it is to loss 10 pounds a month or by 2011 be 190.

Today is day 1 at 247, today is also my last day at 247 pounds. I will weigh myself monthly and see where this journey takes me.
