I have thought about losing weight a few times, and attempted it a few times too. I joined a gym in january, was going everyday afterwork, then wifes gparent became sick and had to have surgury and I had to come home after work so I could be up with kid in mornings and that put me in a rut, tried to diet somewhat successful, did the mayo clinic(fad) diet, lost like 8 pounds in 2 weeks then come off diet because I was wore out. put the wight back on I am at 248 right now, I am 5'11 ish will be 30 yr old this year. I recently bought a Bell motivator indoor bike trainer and repaired an older bike to use on it, a 93 raleigh m30 mtn bike, going to get a computer for it to log miles etc. I have a Powertec Workbench that I really do not understand how to use, looking into a wall chart or similar from powertec. I had a spine surgury a little over a year ago and now is time to become healthy, I feel the stress of thinking about my health and my age is taking a toll on me, recently had to get a scrip for cholesterol, heartburn, and most recently a sleepaid to help sleep. I tink that i can get rid of all these with proper diet and excercize. I have a goal of being able to ride my bike on the Ohio to Erie bike path next year or equivalent distance. Possible do a triathalon etc. I want to be a new ME, with a alot of hard work and dedication I think that I can do it. In 2004 I quit smoking "cold turkey" I was at 210ish then went to 225ish then started working 2nd shift and and put on to 240 then with surgury I became less active and put on those last ten pounds. I feel motivated, invigorated, and most of all dedicated to losing weight. thank you for your support in advance.
