I have been on more diets than you can shack a stick at. I always seem to lose some weight and then bulk back up. After examining my past there is one common thread, I did not exercise consistently or at all.

Fast forward to a year ago... I started eating healthy (non Atkins) and working out twice a week at home. I went from 270 to 240. Then I added in the gym and decided to go 3 times a week. I dropped to 230 (I stalled a little here). Since then (the last 3 months) my wife and I moved, so I stopped working out, diet has been crazy, and whatever else can go wrong did.

However, I only gained 5 pounds. Any other time I would have already been at the weight I was and then some. So I think that by being consistent with working out I built up a buffer. my muscle was burning most of the bad stuff I was taking in. My problem is I still have 45 pounds to go and I know my muscle wont last unless I get my diet back under control (why im here) and exercise. So to answer your question, today is my first day and I am going to work out after this post.


Ps. I am one of those people who decided I would go to the gym after I met a certain weight because of insecurities. I am glad I forced myself to go for a few weeks because it turns from a chore to a craving that causing me to feel good about myself. I am almost never insecure at the gym anymore. For those days I cannot go to the gym I am buying EA Active for my Wii. From the looks of it it would be a fun way to get some exercise in while under the guise of play.
