Welcome to Dr. J's First Health Associates Fitness Blog

I am writing this fitness blog to help focus my energy.  I want some greater level of accountability.  I have a long road ahead, and if I can write every day, if I can be accountable to the blog, then I can succeed.

About me, I was 310 pounds.  From May to August of 2009 I went down to 271 pounds.  Today I am 277 pounds.  I am about 5'10", so I SHOULD be about 160 pounds.  Even with my 'larger frame' (I'm being generous to myself), I should be about 180 pounds.  I have never been below 200 pounds in my adult life.  When I weighed 205 (in college), I was quite fit.  Getting to that weight is my ultimate goal.  But, every pound between then and now is a hurdle that I have to jump.

I plan on tracking my food and exercise in this blog.  I should include some recipes, if I get good stuff.  I will also be including my workouts.  I will weigh myself at the gym and at work.  I will note any difference between the scales, to be honest.

Wish me luck!

  1. Goooooood luck!

    I too am trying to summon the courage to get healthier. The idea of even STARTING to lose so much weight is so daunting!

    I know you probably weren't expecting random people to come comment on this blog, but you commented on mine, and then I was reading your "about me" section, and I thought that maybe you would be a good person to ask a physical therapyish question?

    If you would be willing to offer some semi-medicalish advice, could you shoot me a quick email at missmedicina at gmail? If you don't feel comfortable doing that, that's fine too :)
