Hello, and welcome to my journey. My name is Jeff. I am thirty-nine years old, and I am over-weight and out of shape. Realizing that I turn forty (40) in almost exactly seven months, I have come to the conclusion that I need to get healthy. This site is going to be my accountability. It’s going to be my journal. It’s going to be my therapist I can vent to and my trainer (you guys) who can help motivate me to keep going. It is quite obvious to me that I am not the only person in this position. It is, as I write this, January 3, 2021, 9:11am eastern time in Brighton, MI. There are probably a few million people who are also waking up today determined to get healthy in 2021 and full-fill their new years resolution, many of them in worse shape than myself. According to statistics, 90% of us will fail within 5 months. I hope that you will join me on my mission to not be a statistic and succeed in losing 75 pounds by the time I turn the big four zero. Yes, that’s the goal. As of two days ago, January 1, 2021, I weighed in at 259.5 pounds, by far the heaviest I’ve ever been. I want to be 185 pounds when I turn forty and more than that I want to be healthy.

I recognize that I am not morbidly obese. I know that to some out there 260 pounds is their end goal for weight loss. I do not, in any way, dismiss or be little what they have to do, and I realize that my journey is probably very different than theirs. However, I do struggle everyday with my fitness and I know that If I don’t do something right now that I will continue to hit all time highs for my weight and my unhealthiness. My hope is that by writing about my journey I can help encourage those who are on a similar path to mine. Maybe you need to lose 30 pounds, maybe you need to lose 300 pounds. Either way we are all trying to do the same thing, better our selves and get healthier. If I can put my journey out into the universe and it helps someone else get even slightly closer to their ideal self, then I will be ecstatic. If it ends up just being me, typing into an endless void and it simply keeps me accountable, then that’s fine too.
