Looking to lose at least another 43lbs

Hello All,

My fiance started using this app on her phone to keep track of her food and exercise so I thought I'd do the same. I use runkeeper to log all my exercise but this site feels a lot like the bodybugg program which lets to manage your caloric deficit and I like that a lot!

I started out in October of 2008 at 350lbs when I joined Nutrisystem. Over the next 8 months I lost 100lbs, the first 70 of which were from diet alone! When I met my fiance just 10 months after the start of my weight loss journey I was 220lbs. Unfortunately over the next year I put on about 30 lbs and began to experience some serious ED related issues. On top of that, I have been officially diagnosed with moderate/severe sleep apnea and am getting a CPAP machine today. As you can imagine, at 26 years old this hit me hard. Fortunately it is something I have complete control over, so that is what I'm doing!

Through healthy eating and regular exercise, in the last two months I have shed the 30lbs that I put on. My fiance and I are both working toward our first half-marathon in September, and after that we are training for our first full marathon in 2012. My goal is to reach 180lbs by December. I realize it is an aggressive goal at 2.5lbs/week, but since I'm starting from such a high weight I know it is realistic. Especially considering that I'm doing about 8-9 hours of cardio each week with running and cycling combined (I started riding my bike to work).

After losing that 30lbs of "contentment" weight I'm already feeling so much better, looking better, the ED has improved, and I've got a ton of momentum. I can't wait to get under the 200lb mark!
