Day 1 - About my Health

I am a 38 year old male. I am 5' 11" tall and I weigh 216.2 pounds as I start this diet.

A couple years ago I lost 49 pounds using this same plan from Dr. Fuhrman. I have found out in the last year that I have thyroid problems and I started taking Synthroid.

When I started taking the medication I began to gain some weight back. I had gotten down to 198 pounds before, and over the last year I have watched my weight go up slowly. My Thyroid doctor was not much help with this problem so I turned back to Dr. Fuhrman's book and eating plan to try and get control of my weight again.

My goal is to get back down to around 195 lbs. This means I have to loose around 20 pounds.

When I was on Dr. Fuhrman's plan before I charted every day. So, I knew by looking back at those charts that I averaged around 1/2 pound per day.

So I set my target date as Valentines 2009. That gives me around 45 days to loose my 20 pounds.

I am blogging this as a way to chart my progress, and maybe help someone else who is having trouble loosing weight. So, Join me over the next 45 days and give me some support along the way. I know I will need it.
