Looking to turn my life around

[abarber]

All,

Like many of you, a sedentary, poker-driven lifestyle has left me somewhat out of shape. Two positives have come from this, though. Firstly, I have a bankroll. Secondly, 2p2 has become an invaluable resource for any and all subjects. It's about time I utilize both of these to get me back in shape. I have made a prop bet with a friend to lose 40 pounds by November 1st. Because losing this weight is so important to me, I have 5k riding on the outcome. I have made this initial post to seek out some advice, not about losing weight (this won't be my first time, but any tips are appreciated), but instead to see what advice you guys have about maintaining a success/results thread. What should I be posting? Food, exercise, moods, weight, pictures? How often should I be posting? Daily, weekly, bi-weekly? Will I be bogging down this forum with something that is more blog-appropriate? As always, your responses are appreciated.
