4. I started a fitness program about a month ago and at the rate I am going I should hit my goal by fall with a little room to spare. More exercise and a better diet goes a long way.

 

[BADbuckfever]

Ok, I am currently at 344 lbs (official weight from Dr. visit last week) I started dieting and exercising last week after Dr. appointment.

I hope to get down to 200 - 225 by this fall deer season. I know its a tall order, but we'll see what happens.

I would love to be able to backpack hunt the David Long way and to do that I have to shed mass pounds. This would be a miracle if I can pull it off by this winter.
