Well, I would like to start this, too. I'm at the tail end of a cold and have an annoying, long-lasting cough, plus I got a piece of glass in my foot (I think?). However, after those two annoying things are gone, I'd like to join in with you guys.
My last approx. weight: 270 lbs.
My likely in-shape weight: approx. 200 lbs.
I'm like you, Mtn...I drink a LOT of cokes, plus sweet tea and coffee. I get a ton of sugar. It's one of my worst habits. I think some pushups, situps and walk/runs on the treadmill are a decent start to help me lose the weight. I'd like to weigh 250 or so by Christmas, maybe less if I can swing it.
