Hi everyone. I've been using myfitnesspal for a couple months now but today is my first day posting in the community. Things have been going ok so far. I had a scare at the end of 2013 and ended up at the doctors office on new years eve (also my birthday) getting and EKG. Found out my blood pressure was crazy high and I had ballooned to 414lbs. That day I decided things needed to change. I quit smoking after 16 years (2 months smoke free), got my blood pressure under control with the help of some medication and have lost ~37lbs since that day. I feel better than I have in years!

I have a little girl that will be 4 years old tomorrow. She is my main motivation for loosing weight and getting healthy. She will be starting to play sports soon and I would like to be able to play with her for more than 5 minutes at a time. I'd also like to watch her grow up which I was in danger of not being able to see.

This is the biggest and most important fight of my life and I intend to see it through. My goal weight is around 225lbs (I'm 6'4") but less than that is ok too.

Anyway, hope to meet some folks here that are on similar journeys.

-Tim
