Introduction Text WHERE TO BEGIN? On June 26, 2009 I was just "the average fat guy" walking into work. The next thing I know, I am riding in the back of an ambulance headed to a trama center hospital with a massive Pulminary Embolism. HOW DID I GET HERE? At this point I am not sure. This web site sure seems like a "chick" thing...not enough testosterone for me but..... OK, Kid #2 suggested I use this site for tracking calories and workouts.... She is a work out monster......no need for her to use this website....Who said I wanted to lose weight? The doctor never said I had to lose weight. Well maybe he suggested it once or twice..... I guess I was a little pissed off when I saw the physical description of me in the hospital...."Middle Aged" and "Obese". That hurt! I never thought of myself as Middle aged.... fat..... but not 'Middle Aged' THE GOOD NEWS? I fooled the doctors and actually lived to walk Kid #2 down the aisle one week after I went into the hospital.....The kid was threatening to call off the wedding....the heck with that; I had already spent a boat load...Luckily I got a pass from the doctors the day before the wedding... WHAT NOW? Well as long as I am here I might as well lose some weight.....

Short term: Be under 200 pounds by Xmas 2009. 190 lbs. by Feb. 1st. 178 by March 15th. Long Term: Live!

Stop going out with the 'boys' for lunch. I gained 40 lbs. in 4 years. Walk 6 days/week until the doctor OK's me to work out at the gym. Burn more calories than I consume.
