In the beginning........

Hi, my name is Harold but you can call me Howie and this is my story.  Please bear with me as this is my first blog and for that matter my first time writing anything.

I am a 43 year old man that is 353 lbs as of yesterday and I am tired of being that way.  I am technically morbidly obese.  I use a CPAP (probably due to my weight), my cholesteral is borderline high as is my blood pressure.  My joints hurt, not badly but they still hurt.  I wear size 50 pants and a 3X shirt and Im uncomfortable in those. 

The name of my blog comes from one of the many mottos of the Marine Corps.  Yes, I am a Marine.  This further adds to my embarassment.  As the say, "not so lean, not so mean but still a Marine". 

My goal is to crack the 200 lb barrier.  I have not been that weight since I graduated boot camp 20 years ago.  Through this blog I hope to become more accountable to myself and perhaps to my followers (if I have any) as well.  I will be gleaning information off of other peoples blog in order to maybe make this one more interesting and to help me achieve my goal.
