As I was saying in the Prologue, I need to do something if I want to live past 30-40 years. Clearly doing something means loosing weight. And keeping it off.

I say keeping it off, because I’ve tried dieting and working out in the past. It worked, on the short term, but in the long term the results were not the expected ones.

So our saga begins, this being the first episode.

The input is my current weight, 285 lbs or roughly 130 kg. This is at 1.83 m.

During the next few months Iwill try to lose the excess weight and keep it off.

As in any saga, the hero seeks help in order to overcome the obstacles in his path. In this case, the help is called 20/20 Lifestyles.

20/20 is a nationally-renowned, comprehensive, integrated program for people who struggle with obesity and metabolic imbalances such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. You have help from medical staff, from a dietitian, a psychologist, a personal trainer and a support group. They all work together with you toward your goal (for a small (not) fee of course).

Let the show begin.
