Tell your friends to follow me on my journey. The more people that are watching me the more I will feel like I have to do it.

Day 1

I'm turning 31 next month and my wife is expecting a little girl in 140 days. I am using this blog as a motivation to loose my final 35 lbs and reach my goal of 217 lbs.

Five years ago I was 322 lbs and have already lost 70 lbs, but the final 35 lbs to my goal of 217 lbs has been the greatest struggle. For the past two years I have fluctuated between 240 and 250 lbs.

Today I weigh 251.6 lbs and at the end of it I will reach my goal and take a picture with my new born baby looking great. I have always wanted a picture with a my tiny little baby on my arm while I look ripped. I guess there is only one thing to do.

Everyday I will post what I ate, how much I exercised and try to document all the things it will take to reach my goal 35 lbs in 140 days.
