OK. So it has been a LONG time since I have been on here! A lot has changed and a lot has not. One thing that has not is my waist size or my weight. This is something that has plagued me for most of my life. I cannot remember a time where my weight was not an issue at some level. So, I have taken my wife's offer and joined WeightWatchers. It is my birthday present to her; to be around a lot longer by making a change than if I stay the course I am on right now.
So, here are my beginning stats:
Starting weight: 298.6 lbs.
Waist: 44"
Goal Weight: 165 lbs. (may change once I see my doctor and we do my annual checkup)
Difference: 133 lbs.
Daily Points: 44
This will not be easy. I have struggled before; losing weight then putting it back on. The difference is, I hope, that with a support group, I will be able to keep it off. There are a lot of incentives to do so when you reach your goal weight. This is not an overnight success plan. I am figuring it will be a two year journey. I hope to make my goal weight in 104 weeks or less.
Please have me in your prayers as I go on this journey. There will be a lot of ups and downs and I will complain from time to time. I'll need all the help I can get!

That sounds like a good realistic approach. Best wishes.
