Some of you can actually remember not so long ago Randall the stud. Most of you however did not know me when I was younger and was a very fit, athletic and actually pretty good looking (compared to the present). Throughout my younger years I was very involved in baseball, wrestling and track. I was a sprinter and long jumper in track and actually was the league champion in the 100 meters in 8th grade. For the same reasons I was the leadoff batter and played centerfield in baseball because of my speed on the bases and in the outfield. I wrestled and was a champion at 167 in junior high and wrestled 160 and 171 in high school. I was fit and had lots of energy.
When I came to college, I stopped living such an active lifestyle and over the course of two years I put on 80 pounds, since then my weight fluxuated with my activity or lack thereof. I have tried many times to diet and found it to be frustrating with little results. I have been working out since February at the YMCA and have been getting myself in shape yet I was still falling into bad habits when it came to my food choices. I ate fast food A LOT!
This past month has been different. Since September 1st I have lost 12 pounds and have set a goal weight of 168 within 15 months (December 2007). After having lost those first 12 pounds that leaves another 90 more to go. I will post pictures when I start to see some noticeable differences. I hope that even in the small ways you can be a supporter of my goals through prayers, notes and just checking in as well.

Hey Randall, keep it up. My wife doesn't tell this to others very often (so heck I'll just broadcast it on the internet in front of God and everybody) but she dropped about 50 pounds a year or two ago -and kept it off. She did Weight Watchers. I try to stay fit with twice weekly karate classes and some intermittent cardio and calesthenics... and I've quit trying to compare my physical condition to what I had in high school! Good luck, God's blessings
