I’ve been thinking about my current weight loss plan, and my goal of losing 90 pounds by September 29, 2009.  (Click here to read the weigh in where I decided that 90 pounds would be my goal and September 29, 2009 would be my goal date.)  I picked September 29, 2009 because that will be exactly one year from September 29, 2008, the date that, in retrospect, I finally put everything together and got serious about losing weight.

I have decided that I need a name for my current weight loss plan.  Why?  I have been writing about my (failed) attempts at weight loss for almost three years, and I really can’t look back at January of 2007 as my starting date, because I never really focused or put my heart into getting in shape.  So, for all practical purposes, September 29, 2008 is my real starting date.  From now on, I will refer to my current weight loss plan as –

The 929 Project

I want to lose 90 pounds by September 29, 2009.

My starting date was September 29, 2008.  Weight – 252.2 Pounds

My goal date is September 29, 2009.  Weight – 162.2 Pounds

Total weight loss goal – 90 Pounds

I do want to say one thing about my goal of losing 90 pounds.  If I succeed, I will weigh 162.6 pounds.  I haven’t been at that weight in almost 15 years.  After losing an initial 50 pounds or so, I will reevaluate my goal, to see if it is still realistic.  I am 5 feet, 8 inches tall, and 162.6 pounds is considered a healthy weight for that height, but I might find that I am much healthier and stronger at a slightly higher weight, say 175 pounds.  We shall see.
