Day One - 184 lbs

About 2 months ago, I went to a family reuinion. It was great to see people I haven't seen for 10 ears or longer. However, there were a lot of people who couldn't beleive how much weight I had gained. Slowly but surely, I went from 150lbs - 200+ lbs. It was really easy to do: eating out, snacking in front of the TV, just BEING in front of the TV probably added an extra 15 lbs minimum.

About 5 weeks ago, I started weighing myself daily. Since then, I went from 194lbs to 184lbs. That was yesterday. So today I decided to monitor my progress and document my accomplishments.

My goal is to lose 20 lbs in 9 weeks. That's 2.22 lbs per week, or .32 lbs per day. To burn lose one pound of fat, you need to burn 3500 calories. That means I will have to burn 1,120 calories today. If I burn 500 calories at the gym, I'll have to figure a way to skip 600 calories today.
I had a "Medifast" breakfast bar and I'll have a shake for lunch. I've got some peanuts in my desk at work to eat between meals. I'll have to go to the grocery store at lunch to get some grapes.
