What this blog's all about...

I'm new to blogging, but I'm going to try documenting my progress with weight loss and general improvement in health through a blog, in hopes of keeping on track better. I'm also going to review several fitness related books, beginning with You: The Owner's Manual, Updated and Expanded Edition by Michael F. Roizen, M.D., and Mehmet C. Ox, M.D.. Throughout the next 8 months I will be tracking my food & water intake, exercise, and weight through www.caloriecount.com. I will be taking my measurements on a bi-weekly basis, and will post my progress here.

My initial stats are as follows(taken 11.23.12):
Height: 5'6" (this will be the only time I post this)
BMI: 29.19
Weight: 186.2 lbs
Chest: 39"
Waist 40.5"
Butt: 45"
R Thigh: 28.25"
L Thigh: 28.5"
R Calf: 15.8"
L Calf: 15.8"
R Arm(Bicep): 14.8"
L Arm (Bicep: 14"

My Goals:
1. Lose 50 lbs by August 1, 2013. (Approx 6.25 lbs per week)
2. Lower my BMI to within the normal range (22)
3. Lose 8-10" from my waist, butt, and R & L thighs.
4. Lose 5" from my R & L calves and arms.
5. Participate in a "diet" that will be a lifestyle change for the way I eat.
6. Eat fast food no more than twice a month.
7. Exercise 30 minutes per day.

I will post updates a minimum of once per week for each of my goals and how I'm progressing. I will post weight and measurement updates bi-weekly when they are taken.
