answer:My beginning weight taken on August 29, 2012, at 6:30 p.m. was 217 lbs. or 98.6 kg. I was wearing just my underwear when I stepped on the scale. My desired weight is about 185 lbs. or 84 kg. I want to reach this weight by New Years. For the record (others may add this information or leave it out as they see fit), I’m a 6’3” or 191 cm tall male. Today, I power walked 2.5 miles or 4 km in about 30 minutes. Today, I’ve eaten a slice of whole wheat, high protein, dry toast. I had a bowl of low calorie chicken soup, a ½ cup of dried apricots, 2 quarts of unsweetened iced tea, and many glasses of water besides. I will have one more bowl of the chicken soup and some more dried fruit before bed.
