Hello from CO - looking for some MFP buddies

SuperSleepySchro

Hey everyone, I just stumbled upon this site and looking for some motivational buddies. I am currently 27 years old and 6'5", 252 lbs (Yay not Obese on BMI anymore haha). My initial goal weight is 240lbs (high school football weight) and then I want to head down to 210lbs.

I started to get serious about losing weight after doing the Bolder Boulder 10k at 275lbs on Memorial day (lots of walking!). So over the summer I completed Couch to 5K and then did the Tough Mudder in Snowmass last month. This past month I have joined a gym as well as started the 5k to 10k app.

I've found I actually like working out and running again but my biggest weakness is portion control and cleaner choices with food. I hope to start tracking it better with MFP.
