Introduction Text I'm an Aerospace Engineer and Commercial pilot in Southern California. I joined SparkPeople in January 2009 with goals of losing 30 pounds and getting off cholesterol drugs to get health insurance. In December, the month before I joined, I weighed 222. I weighed 219 when I joined SparkPeople. By December of 2009, I had lost 30 pounds and weighed 192. My goal was to reach 190 by June 7, 2009. On June 7, 2009 I weighed 192. Two pounds short, but a total loss of 30 pounds in just over 5 months. Not too bad I guess. Shortly after losing all the weight, I lost my job. Over the next 18 months I gained much of the weight back as I was looking for work and the bills piled up. I also got away from Sparkpeople during that period. I am now back at work and starting over at Sparkpeople. After my first week back, I have dropped 5 pounds and feel like I'm getting back on track.

I'm trying to get down to 190 lbs. I also want to get completely off my cholesterol drugs.

I lift weights 3-4 days a week and do cardio 4 or 5 days a week for 30 minutes. I also play tennis once a week. I try to do my cardio a few hours apart from weights, which means I end up working out twice a day on some days. Not too easy since I work full time a spend 3 1/2 hours a day commuting. No excuses though. It's too important to not find the time.

My name is Tim and I live in Temecula, California.
