Heading Toward 40

Greetings,

    I have been keeping a spreadsheet since April 24th.  That date was 4 months before my 40th birthday and I chose that as my starting point to lose some weight.  I did not have a particular goal in mind but I like the idea of being 180 lbs on my birthday.  I think that is the upper end of the weight range on some government chart I read a long time ago (given my height and bone structure).  As with all my spreadsheets, I have added a few features over the weeks but this is how it has looked structure wise for about a month or so.  My scales are accurate to the 1/2 lbs and I have adopted a practice of weighing myself 4 times but only counting the last 3.  You would have to know my scale as intimately as I do in order to understand why I do this but trust me, that first weight cannot be trusted.  I was stuck at around 203 lbs for about 2 1/2 weeks but had a breakthrough this last week (while the wife and kids are visiting friends in TX).  I will try to keep it updated in some way until my 40th birthday (08/24/09).

Jon
