Watch Dave Lose It

I am creating this blog to let people follow along as I try to drop the last 50-60 pounds and get down to my final goal weight.

Why do I say last 50-60? Well I am about half way there. This has been a long process from my highest weight of 322.5 pounds. I am currently at 260 pounds so I am about half way to a goal weight of 200-220 pounds. Even these last 3 years are really just part of a 20 year struggle against the scale.

So I look at this blog as kind of my virtual weight watchers weigh in. A place to make this struggle public to keep the pressure on myself to keep up the fight. And that is what it is, a fight. So I am counting on you, dear reader to keep me going. So I need you more than you need me.

I have seen pages like this and they are very interesting but after a few entries people stop making inputs. I hope to keep this going until I am well into the maintenance phase. Studies show that only about 6% of people can lose weight and keep it off. My goal is to figure out how to be in that 6%. I am done being a fat guy, I am not finished I am just done!

Read along and follow my progress. I would love to see your comments and hear what has worked for you.
