Time to get serious..

Hello all, I am a father of 3 beautiful daughters and i plan to stick around God willing to see them grow up. At one point in time i weighed 280lbs and was able to get down to 190. However that was 8 years ago, i have slowly gained weight back, scared to look at the scale. I knew i was getting bigger because i started to become shy to take pictures. I was hiding the truth from myself. Too comfortable in my lazy lifestyle. Go to work, come home, sit on the cpu and in between play with my kids. I became bothered when they would ask to go to the park. I didnt wanna get up and take them. Sad thing is the park is right outside my back porch. I became a lazy recluse. One day i decided to weigh myself and i was at 269... knocking right on the door of my previous weight. I am not going to let that happen. I began a frantic search for information on how to change my lifestyle and it began with what i was putting into my body. I immediately started my diet, more protein and fiber and less carbs and calories. one day, i randomly was going through my phones app store and came across this app. The reviews were positive. The only negative ones i seen were related to software and not the app itself. so i downloaded it, and felt a bit overwhelmed by all of the options. Now i am starting to get the hang of it and incorporating logging my meals into my daily routine of things i do. I feel like im going to do it this time and for good. ive been logging for about a week ( with a few missed days in the beginning due to not being in the habit of logging everyday) and just now mustard enough courage to introduce myself... Say hello to the current me because the new me is on his way....
