2011 here I come!!

Ok folks, I have a renewed desire to lose weight. I have been off the wagon (eating habit-wise) for a while now. It's time to put up or shut up. I have resolved this year to lose 100 pounds, no matter what. Here's the plan:
1. Eliminate soda and sugary drinks (usually had 2-3 Cokes per day)
2. Eliminate fries & chips, make more smart eating decisions
3. A good friend is getting a heavy duty bicycle ready for me to use(he said I could have it as long as I rode)--that's a real friend!! (Walking is difficult due to sesamoiditis in my left foot)

Ok, you also must know the facts:
40 years old, come from a family plagued with heart disease
Borderline high blood pressure
Classified as morbidly obese (6'2", 435-440, BMI 56)
Extremely out of shape(hard to walk up 1 flight of stairs but can do without resting)
Suffer from asthma(on daily meds to help)
Snore loudly and hardly ever feel rested after 6-8 hours of sleep(probably have sleep apnea as well)
Maintain a busy lifestyle despite all of this

So, if you are one of my many friends that have tried to help me lose weight and been disappointed with my failures, I am sorry-please forgive me. I need all my friends, this will be the fight of my life, the fight FOR my life.
