About Me

Buffalo, New York
Approximately 100 Million Americans are obese, and I am one of them. Now that I'm married with two young children, I'm starting to take my health more seriously. But while I've been converting steaks and chicken wings into love-handles and a gut, close to a Billion People Worldwide have been going hungry... What if we could do something about both problems?
I've started this blog to chronicle my own weight-loss and efforts to raise money and awareness to battle global hunger. If weight is an issue for you, I hope you'll join me; and if it's not, I hope you'll support me or someone like me as we work to lose weight so others can gain it.

Week 8 Update

Wow, I can't believe it's been 8 weeks already! Here's where things stand now:

My Current Weight: 326.5 pounds
Change this Week: lost 8 pounds
Total Change: lost 42.5 pounds

My Current Pledges: $82.75 per pound
Amount Raised: over $3500 or over 14,000 meals!

Well, I'm back on track. This was a decent week and I wasn't really even all the way back into my program until part way through it. I'm still averaging over 5 pounds per week and if I can keep this up I'll hit my original goal in 3 months instead of 6! I'd still love to hear how other people's weightloss is going (whether you're participating in the redistribution or not), so please post some stories.
