Starting my weightloss journey

Good afternoon everyone,
I am starting my weightloss journey after realizing how out of shape and unhealthy I have become. When I was younger I was very active and ctually may have been considered underweight. Once I started working in office jobs that all changed and now I need to lose about 80 lbs to be where I would like to be. I know that this will not happen over night, but I am hoping that from the support from others on this site it will not be an impossible journey.
I realized just how bad it was when I had to buy new pants the other day and had to buy a 48 waist pant.. I stood there looking in the mirror and was not happy with what I saw. I knew I needed to make some changes. I had a friend suggest this site, so here I am..lol
Kind regards,
Jamey72
