I don’t know how much I weigh.  I have no idea.  But I’m pretty sure it’s over 375 lbs.  I really don’t know where to start on this journey.  I’m pretty much going to make it up as I go along.  I’m doing a little research, trying to see what works and what doesn’t.  But I think I’m going to start with 30 minutes of walking.  I’ll try and combine that with severely cutting down on my food intake.
What I really need is a change of lifestyle.  I have become increasingly sedentary.  Much like the rest of society I have been taking the easy way – the elevator when I could take the stairs, driving when I could walk, etc.  I’m going to actively try and get uncomfortable.  In a good way, not in the “Standing so close I can smell your armpit funk” kind of way.
**Update**
I bought the family a Nintendo Wii over the weekend.  I could have gotten the Mario Kart package, but I opted to get the Wii Sports + Wii Sports Resort bundle.  Laugh all you want - but those video games can be one heck of a work out.  Just ask my wife and her sore muscles.  I'm gonna mix it up w/ walking one day and 45 minutes of Wii Sports another day.
 
I think the wii is a great idea son! Check out sparkpeople.com for some more motivation and ideas...
