Jan. 30

Hello, everyone. Welcome to my weight loss blog. Yeah, it's pretty stupid, but, hopefully this will help me stick to this plan.

I am Tony Redd, a 51 (soon to be 52) year -old chubby white guy in Virginia Beach, VA. Married, two kids (19 & 15), and carrying some excess pounds that I would really like to take off and keep off.

I'm 5'8" (ok, closer to 5'7") and weighed 197# on Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008. My goal is to knock off 32 pounds by June 1st. My target weight is 165#.

Based on this, I need to lose 1.5 pounds every week.

I'm a little behind in getting this set up. Have been meaning to do this, but kept putting it off.
