Trying to get healthy again

Well I guess I am beginning this journey again. I have battled weight issues up and down for the last 10 years. Six years ago I was 165 pounds and in the best shape of my life. Now I am at 230 and trying to get back there. So far I have a decent start and have been watching my diet and doing 30 minutes of cardio each day. I recently lost my wife to cancer and part of my weight loss is for spiritual healing as well as physical.
