Yes, I’m tired of carrying around a spare tire.  Petra and I have made each other a commitment to drop some of this weight.  For my part, I weighed in at 211 lbs. on Monday.  I’ve set a six month goal to be down to 185 lbs. - 26 weeks from now, I.E. Monday 3/2 is the final weigh-in.

From a BMI perspective, I’m 29.4 - in the “Overweight” category.  This year has seen some slow progress.  I started out at 225 lbs. - in the “Obese” category.  I need to weigh less than 179 lbs. to be considered at the top of the “Normal” category.  That brings me to my one year goal of being 165 lbs. for my 42nd birthday next year.
