Goal Weight
172.0 lb
Still to go: 50.3 lb
I am a 42 year old professional managing an electrical panelboard assembly shop. In 2000, I weighed 215 lbs (heaviest of my life) and decided to do something about it. I joined WW and lost 48lbs over a 10 month span and maintained it for six years. Our family relocated to a different Canadian province in 2002 and my wife and I started a family in 2006. Understandably, my focus shifted from me to them and the weight slowly crept back up. In January 2010, I was up to 208lbs and made the decision to focus more on myself without compromising my family commitments. It was not easy to find time to exercise, so I just watched portion size and made better food choices. Since January 2010 I have gotten back down to 182lbs with little or no consistent exercise regimen. Now that the kids are older I am starting to find more time for myself and I am starting to focus on consistent exercise to complement my eating habits. My goal is to lose another 10-12 lbs before Christmas.

Addiction?!
Things worth doing are seldom easy. I gave up cigarettes 12 years ago and I can honestly say it is one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself in the long term. Once you get past the withdrawl, you will be glad you made that lifestyle choice. You can do it!

Regognizing progress
For me...it was when I went through some older dress shirts in my closet and discovered that the neck size on those shirts was too big. I actually looked like that guy with the top hat in the "Don't worry, be Happy" music video.
