Ben's Big 'Ol Belly!

Hi, I'm Ben, and I've got a big--no, HUGE belly! I'm a 32 year old guy who has been overweight his whole life. I'm ready to lose, and, if you've got a man-belly like me, hopefully you're ready to lose as well.

Here's a few stats about me:

• 32 year old guy
• 319 lbs: Starting weight (as of today, August 12th, 2008)
• 175 lbs: Goal weight by Spring of 2010
  
• 144 lbs: Amount of weight I need to lose
• Overweight since I was a kid
• Been trying to lose weight since I can remember
• Never been fond of the girly diet plans (no offense, ladies) (I'll explain later)
• Never been more ready to lose!

So, are you ready to join me? There's plenty of resources for women, so I'm hoping that this blog will be a good resource/source of inspiration for us men.

Good to meet you!
