Time to take charge

muskiesfan

Hello. I just joined MFP yesterday. I've needed to make a change in my lifestyle for awhile and I finally decided to step up and take charge. I don't know if my wife will end up posting here or not, but she is taking the journey with me.

I'm 6' tall and my starting weight is 345. I've always been a bigger guy, but my weight has gotten way out of hand. In 2007-2008, I was all the way up to 396. I didn't work too hard at it, but in the last 4 years or so, I have gotten rid of 50 pounds of that. I need to drop at least 100 more. My ultimate goal is 225, but it will be nice to weigh under 300 again. It's been a long time since I could say that.

I'm just tired of feeling tired. I want to be able to be more active and just do more. It bothers me that I'm out of breath from walking up/down stairs or even just tying my shoes!

My wife and I have been married for almost 5 years. I want to be with her for another 50+, so it's time to make the change.
