IZON, when I hit the scale at 265.8 lb I hit the scale and hit the 11 button on how pissed off at yourself are you? 0 to 10. I decided to go big or not go at all. Yes, I just gave you great material to work with. So I set 3 goals. 1) to do everything I knew I needed to to get as healthy as possible. 2) to get back to my high school athletic weight, 175 lb. 3) Once 1 and 2 are met to maintain them. This is a good start, but the fat lady ain't singing yet. See, more good material.
