How This Began

I started out simply with an interest in losing weight. My OCD tendencies have turned this into a blossoming obsession on which I am spending too much time researching and thinking. I am approximately 5' 11" and I weighed more than 210 pounds. Due to a combination of medical problems and laziness I had not exercised in any regular or serious way for a little over three years. I began monitoring how much I ate and what I was eating, at least in a general sense, and exercising in a somewhat haphazard manner. My weight started going down and I started feeling much better. As time went on (let's say over a period of two months or so) I have decided I want to be much more serious about this. Using various tools I have been monitoring much more precisely my caloric intake and limiting my carbohydrate intake. But I want more. I want to be more serious in my weight loss. I have been speaking to friends regarding dieting and reading books, articles, and websites. My current understanding is that I can maximize my weight loss through hacking my biochemistry. I am now attempting to formulate a more specific weight loss/exercise algorithm by which I can reach my fitness goals. This blog will be me writing about my thoughts and experiences. I welcome constructive input.
