Losing Weight Is Simple, Right?
















Losing weight is the supposedly simple task of reducing the amount of calories you take in and increasing the number of calories you burn.  For those of us that really like food, cutting the calories can be... well... difficult.  Perhaps the worst strike against me, I sit a lot at work and when I'm working on my blogs.  So how in the world am I going to lose weight?

My goal is to lose down to 145 lbs in one year.  I have never been below 165 since I have been above it, and I probably weigh between 220 and 230 right now.  So I guess that puts me between 75 and 85 lbs I want to lose, in a year.  Get out the little calculator and we see that is about 1.6 lbs per week, which is reasonable.

I am going to learn how to eat better, work out more effectively, adjust my life, and do whatever it takes to lose those two pounds each week.  I'll blog about my experiences while blogging about everything else in the world also here on my Rants blog.
