Goals:
Main Goal:	Lose Fat
Goal (Overall):	Get down to 270lbs and eventually do a triathlon.
Goal (Long):	I weighed in over 300lbs in 12/2006. I don't know how far over because the scale stopped at 300 and refused to read any higher (cheap digital scale). My goal is to get back down to 205lbs that I was at back in 1998, and then further. I want to make my family proud. Return some of my self-respect that I lost when I realized I was a lazy sack of fat. I don't want to be "that guy" anymore.
Weight Goal:	I want to LOSE 70 lb
Bodyfat Goal:
