About 108 Kg.  I should probably be about 85kg - 90kg.  (Metric for the Win!)  I am also told my blood pressure is borderline high.Exercise.  My best asset for weight loss is that I am trying to get exercise.  My place of employment has an on site gym with trainers.  I try to use it 3 times a week, usually average out to 2.5 times a week (due to long weekends or random crap happening).  Exercise consists of about an hour, 20 min cardio, and a bunch of weight training.Nutrition Plan. I do not have a specific plan beyond trying to stay away from the more obvious pit falls.  I actually eat pretty good at home, with the problem being eating a bit too much of it.  My weak area is lunch.  As much as I want to lose weight, it turns out that I even more like to eat things I mostly like.  If I get less lazy about this, I would probably see some pretty good gains.Goal. Lose weight mostly for health reasons, but losing the gut will help.  The likely problem area will be crunch periods at work when I am working late.  This will result in me not going to the gym, and in eating more crap food.  As much as I know I need the exercise, I like to be able to go home and sleep during crunch time.Plan B.  In the event diet and exercise fail me, I hope for technological innovation.  Vat grown replacement organ technology in the event the blood pressure thing evolves to a huge problem.  Genetically modification or other intervention to modify my metabolism to only take as much calories as it actually needs.Getting exercise is not the big problem for me.  I actually do have the will power to more or less stick to a gym routine, albeit with perodic lapses due to either Christmas vacation or crunch time.  Or as the most recent case, allergies.  I already get very out of breath at the gym due to my minor asthma.  Since my allergies spiked the last two weeks, I decided that getting very winded when my nose is perpetually runny was not a great plan.  The big problem I expect to be the food thing.  I do not have a set timeline to reach a specific goal.  The real goal is to alter my habits enough to improve my general health.END COMMUNICATION</blockquote>
