This blog is about me, an average person with an above average waste-line. When I was around the age of sixteen I had already toppled the scale at four hundred and ten pounds. I did have a breaking point and that was when I hit the scales at four hundred and fifty pounds, it was at this point I decided I was at a crossroads. I made a vow to lose the weight and my goal to becoming slim would be to cut my weight down to two hundred and twenty five exactly half my starting weight.
