*My journey to 225lbs or lower* Hello everyone. My name is Allen, I am 33 years old and a father to 2 beautiful children. I have been married to Miranda since September of 2005. I have always been a heavy person as long as I remember, but I got to the point where I was just plain obese and it grossed me out. I must let you know now that the first picture posted of me is a pic that was taken after I already lost 40lbs. Can you imagine another 40lbs on that body. My friends and family were very worried about me and Miranda was concerned that I would leave her a widow at a young age. At my heaviest I tipped the scale at 317lbs. As of this writing I am back under my high school weight, ringing in at 277lbs. I weigh myself every morning and keep track of the slight ups and downs that happen from day to day. Stepping on the scale is the first thing I do in the morning. Next, I empty my bladder and bowels and weigh myself again. I then take the average of those 2 numbers to come up with my daily weight. Some people may think that is strange but it is a system that works for me and I believe gives me a more accurate representation of my progress. I look forward to sharing my story with you as it unfolds and hope you enjoy following along.
