These posts are going to be embarrassing at first. Just pull the Band-Aid® off, right?

This morning I weighed myself after working out and eating breakfast right at 266.4 lbs. I’ll use this as my “starting” weight as I begin my journey to my goal weight of 178 lbs. I feel horrible. Oh what the weeks will change.

According to the Mayo Clinic online BMI calculator my current BMI is 36.1 which puts me in the obese category.

Using my Accu-Measure body fat calipers my body fat percentage is 25.4%.

I did not get a chance to take my blood pressure today. I will be seeing my doctor on February 11 and at that time will ask him for recommendations on an accurate in-home blood pressure monitor. I will use the reading from my visit as my baseline.
