Tired of being "Up against it!"

Hello All! My name is Paul. I'm a former teacher who is now a 911 Dispatcher on graveyard shift at Disneyland. I've been following Tyler on 344pounds.com for about a year and finally kicked myself in the bee-hind when I saw his recommendation of MyFitnessPal. I'm in dire shape and let myself believe nothing would change, so why bother. Somehow I saw through my own self-produced fog and decided it was time.
I love the tools on the website and am actually looking forward to the challenge of making the changes and seeing results. I also am hoping to find a community of support for when the motivation and optimism fades and I need to slog through the doldrums.
My profile pic shows me with one of my two daughters, for whom I want to be alive and healthy and able to escort at their weddings. Looking forward to posting revised pictures along my journey....
