Current Weight
There is an electronic scale with a printout of your weight available at the Melbourne Square Mall, in front of the GNC store. Theresa and I have measured our weight there before, and it has always been something of a wake-up call for me. Back in the summer of '02, I weighed in at 185.5 pounds (which I believe to be my highest weight ever [hooray!]) but I wasn't too far off the mark with my most recent weigh-in at 180.8 lbs. I post this with the hope of slowly melting away my extra weight through a regimen of diet and exercise, over the next two months. My goal weight for March 20, 2004 is 170 lbs.

This might actually be a good time for me to start a self-invented diet for myself, although I'm too scared to actually follow the diet. It's called the Whopper and Big Mac Diet, and the title pretty much describes the main staples of the dieter's daily meal. After reading the nutritional content published on a napkin by Subway, it seemed that Whoppers and Big Macs are not too disastrous to healthy eating, when fairly compared to a 12" Subway hoagie. I calculated that a person could eat either two Whoppers or Big Macs each day, along with a sensible breakfast, (...what's that? A Whopper is your typical breakfast?? Well then for you, eat a sensible lunch) combine this with a plan for exercise, and lose weight in the Subway diet fashion.

I'll record whether or not I convince myself to follow this diet, but as the 8-ball often predicts, "Signs Point To No"
