New to MFP!

thejackswild79

Good morning! I am a 32 years old happily married desk jockey (as in I spend most of my work day in front of a computer) with a passion for travel, competitive dog sports and photography. In the fall of 2010, I was at my heaviest. I always strive to live life to the fullest and I realized I couldn’t do that at 285 lbs so I made a commitment to myself to lose 130 lbs while finding a healthier, more fit me. Through food tracking, exercise and such I lost the first 80 lbs in 2011 and have managed to maintain that loss within 5 lbs since August. Along the way I not only learned a lot about myself, I rediscovered my love of running. I am not fast but I absolutely love the challenge. In 2012 I am working on losing the next 20 lbs while tackling some really fun challenges, such as running three half marathons in three days and Tough Mudder. I decided to make the switch to MFP because of ease of use, great formatting, fantastic app and of course a wonderful community. Thanks for having me and here is to a great 2012!
