Hey Everyone!

I'm new to myfitnesspal after having downloaded the app on my iphone. I have a lot of goals I am trying to achieve this year and beyond and most have to do with my health and fitness. I was obese as a child and finally got under 200 lbs after I turned 18. But ever since then I've been on a weight rollercoaster going down to 170 and back as high as 224 lbs. I want to stabilize my weight, get and stay under 200 lbs and improve my overall fitness. My favorite physical activities are running and weightlifting. I began the year with the goal of running a marathon and I am proud to say that after 16 weeks of training I finished my first marathon this past Sunday. Now that I am no longer training, I have started using myfitnesspal to keep track of my daily calorie intake to make sure I continue to lose weight and reach all my goals. Right now my next goal is to lose 10 pounds between now and August 7th. Its a modest goal, but one I know I can reach. And once I do I hope this will be the last time my weight exceeds 200 lbs.
