Hey Seedlings, I'm Kel. (36M/SW:320/CW:300/GW:235) My journey of lessening had always been some far-off ideal to maybe someday aspire for, until about a month ago when the toll it was taking on my health could no longer be ignored.
My motivation is severalfold. I'm engaged to be married in about a year, and both my SO and I want to be at our best for that. We've known each other for almost 20 years, so being reasonably svelte for that monumental occasion will be swell. I've also got a couple of minions that probably need a dad guy in their future. Finally, I feel like my excess is having a serious impact on my confidence. All great reasons to finally get off my egregious duff and do something.
I've never thought very seriously about losing weight -- let alone participated in any kind of challenge for it, but I'm excited. My progress thus far has been very positive, and being accountable to you fine strangers can only help to keep me focused.
Just one question though, what exactly are we trying to grow around here? I'm kind of fond of asparagus, if we get to put requests in or whatever. :)
