Not at my heaviest which was 355, feel like it though, sometimes. Gotten lazy over the last few months and haven't been eating well or working out much. I go in spurts on my eating and fitness, where I go all gangbusters and do everything for awhile. Then do little or nothing. I am looking to get down to 275 as my end goal at this point. I have had doctors that said I need to be 225 to be healthy, personally I think they are nuts. I have a pretty big frame, under 275 is probably an option but thats my initial medium-long term goal. Also, I am looking to get fit and in shape. I got to where I was doing an hour on the eleptical machines in the past and want to get there again. I also need to regain some muscle tone. In the past I told myself when I got to 300lbs I was going to reward myself by taking a martial arts class. Now I am convinced I held that out there as an excuse not to do it. So I am now looking for an affordable place in Wichita to start training. Tonight after work, I will be writing my self out a goal statement. Hopefully you will be seeing a lot of posts from me on theses boards. Heath

I think if you could figure that out then you could make some serious progress. For example, I get burned out doing the same workout more than 3 weeks. I almost always slack off at the 4th week. So for me I have to switch up routines every 3 weeks to keep myself interested. The same with food, I get bored of chicken, eggs, oatmeal, etc. Again I go in spurts, fish sometimes, more veggies at times, more fats/nuts, beef, chicken...etc.

My name is Andi, I'm a 31 years old and I live in Northern Illinois, near Chicago. I've poked around this site a bit and have found some great info! Looks like I'm gonna like it here :big_smile:. I look forwrd to getting to know the people here. -------------- There is no better appetite suppressant than FOOD.
