Introduction

What is this?

• This is a weight loss blog, probably one of thousands out there.

What does Total 180 mean?

• Total 180 has two meanings:

1. It indicates that I want to make a lifestyle change. People often say that when they completely change something they are rotating 180 degrees, or in other words they turn around.
2. I want to lose 50 pounds. At the moment I am about 230, therefore, if I complete my goal I would be 180 pounds

What are you going to put on this blog?

• I plan to make daily entries, describing what I eat, how much I exercise, and my general feelings and impressions about my journey.

Will there be abusive training sessions and shirtless weigh-ins like on The Biggest Loser?

• I train alone, so unless some random person picks on me, my training will be abuse free. Shirtless weigh-ins... Probably.

What is your time line for completing your goal?

• I don't have a time line per se, because I plan to make this a lifestyle I am willing to wait as long as it takes. Ideally however, 4-5 months would be nice.
