Short term, my health goal is to feel more energized and more motivated.  I would like to be able to walk without my ankle or lower back hurting.  I would like to walk down stairs without my knees hurting.  I assume all of things are happening because I'm overweight.

My long-term goal is to lower my cholesterol level without having to take medication to do so, lose weight, wear a much smaller size, and look nice in my clothes.
