So, here I am at the cusp of a much needed change.  My beginning weight is 298 lbs.  At 5' 8" with a rather stocky build, my ideal weight is around 175 - 180 but I will happily settle for 190 - 195.  Either way, I'm looking at a little over 100 lbs. that have to go.

As I mentioned in my profile, though, motivation is difficult.  I know I'm overweight.  I know I need to get back into some semblance of shape.  I know I will look and feel better once I bring myself back under control.  Problem is, having been at the overweight point at a much younger age and addressing this once already, I also know exactly the pain and anguish I am in for.  It was so much easier obliviously walking into my first karate class having no clue what I was in for.

FLog.  I like that.  Exactly what I'll be looking at once I begin this in earnest.  Nothing for it but to do it, though so:  Here.  We.  Go.
