Jumping half way through.

Hi, my name is Aaron. For the last few years my weight has been holding between 230 - 240 pounds. I was not happy with my weight, or looking at myself in the mirror. I could not cuddle up behind my wife a night with out hurting her back. I spent a year going through circuit weight training, and while I was able to build my strength, and cut my body fat percent down a little, I could not get rid of the gut. This summer I have completely changed my lifestyle and have gone from 234 down to 219 in about a month. A friend of mine suggested I try myfitnesspal.com because it is easier to lose weight when you have someone else to do it with, and here there is a community trying to lose weight and supporting each other. Since joining just a few days ago I have already added 5 pounds to the amount of weight I have lost. My current goal is to get down to 200 pounds. Once I have reached that, I will see whether or not I wish to continue going down or just maintain. It will depend on how I feel and look at that point.
