My original goal was to lose about 100lbs in a year. To attain that goal I made some changes to my diet, and added a lot more physical activity to my life. I now eat a lot more \u00c2\u00a0vegetables and I&#8217;ve cut a lot of unhealthy food out of my diet. \u00c2\u00a0I also bike 3 miles to work everyday, fit in a 20-40 mile ride on the weekends, jog a couple times a week (hoping I can run a 10k in May), and lift weights 3 times a week.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all that it turns out losing weight is hard and one year later I didn&#8217;t hit my original goal, though I do feel a lot better than I have in years. In the last year I went from 289lbs down to 234lbs, a net loss of 55lbs over the course of a year. I&#8217;ve also shaved 6-8 inches off my waistline since I started last January.<\/p>\n<p>Not my original goal, but still within the &#8220;healthy&#8221; weight loss rate of 1-2lbs a week. Looks like I have another year or so to go to hit my final goal, though perhaps I can do a bit better in this new year.<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/spreadsheets.google.com\/gpub?url=http%3A%2F%2Fccmn41lv2h65votlvb823a1s2shmras1-ss-opensocial.googleusercontent.com%2Fgadgets%2Fifr%3Fup_title%3DPublishable%2520Chart%26up_chartTitle%3DWeight%2520Log%26up_labelx%3DDate%26up_labely%3DWeight%26up_legend%3D0%26up_smoothline%3D0%26up_showpoints%3D0%26up_min%26up_max%26up__table_query_url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fspreadsheets.google.com%252Ftq%253Frange%253DA1%25253AC344%2526key%253D0AnbjS1LSKyf0dDRkeXZ4OFFOTnZGa2hycWJMOXpZWkE%2526gid%253D0%2526pub%253D1%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252Fig%252Fmodules%252Fline-chart.xml%26spreadsheets%3Dspreadsheets&#038;height=337&#038;width=501\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I&#8217;ve been a large person for many years, one year ago today I decided to start recording my weight and do something about it.
