I'm back trying this again,  I did good for while a few years back and lost about 25 pounds hit a few month long platue and quit.  Well after I got back on the scale this time I was 299.5 I never wanted to hit 300 so it starts now.  I'm working on the calorie counting right now, keeping a food journal and actually being consious of my food choices.  Doing this alone I have lost 9lbs my first week.  I'm trying to slowly introduce exercise into my regiment, but with two bulging discs, shin plints, messed up shoulders, ankle, and wrist I'm trying to take it slow.  The worst part I'm only 28.  My first child will be born in Sept 08 and I want him to grow up healthy and I want to be there for him.  So this time I'm going to stick with it and lose this weight. 

My ultimate goal is 225, right now though I want to lose enough to have to get a new belt and fit back into some of my fat pants.

Wish me luck.
