Roasted or Baked?

STOP! Don't call PETA just yet. I am not really proposing anyone eats a guinea pig diet (although it is a delicacy in parts of South America). This blog is all about me being the proverbial "guinea pig" in an experiment.



I have unfortunately always been a big guy. Countless diets have come and gone in my life...Atkins, low calorie, weight watchers, you name it. They all got boring and I lost the will to continue on with them. It is this boredom that I have to overcome. I want to finally get in shape. My first child is due in October and I want to be here as long as I can, and as healthy as I can be for him.



Some things you should know about me...I am a VERY picky eater, but I am not only going to put up food that I like as voting options (so this could get very interesting). I am 26 years old, 6'3" and my current weight is 378 pounds. My ultimate goal is to get to 240 pounds. I do not believe that to be doable in the 5 months until my son is born, but if this is a great success at that time I will continue being your guinea pig.



Starting Tuesday May 26, 2009 I will be posting up options of exercise that I am willing to do (or die trying), food that I am willing to eat for the day, and various other diet related options. Then its up to you. I want the input of the world. This is a social experiment with the ultimate goal of getting me in shape through your smart decisions. I strongly encourage anyone who wants to follow along with me to do so. Then keep me updated with your progress and thoughts.



I am willing to make the commitment to do whatever the masses vote on. All I am asking of you is to commit to coming back as often as possible and helping me keep this interesting and successful. Once I start getting a good group of followers I would love to take reader suggestions of exercises or food choices to be including in the voting.
