First Forum Post (about me)

Well I've been on MFP for about 8 months now, and finally decided to write a post. I started on my most recent journey towards gaining a better health and losing the weight i NEED to lose.
In January, I weighed in at an astounding 314lbs. Now I'm 6"3'' and my hope is to be 210-200lbs by the end of my journey. I don't have a set time, as I don't want to overdo it, but would love to be there by Valentines Day next year, but if I'm not, I will still keep going.
In February, I lost my ability to really work out, for almost 5.5 months. Due to my weight I started at, the workouts I was putting in, and how hard I was pushing myself, I got a stress fracture in my left foot. It took my specialist almost 3 solid months to actually diagnose what the ER doctors and my primary told me they were sure of, and that I needed a specialist to fully diagnose it.
June 28th I finally got the Air Cast Boot I had on since the beginning of March off, and did 2 weeks of Physical Therapy. Once fully cleared, I started back at the gym, slower to start and have worked up to a much bigger and heavier duty workout.
Also on June 28th, I signed myself up for this nutrition, weightloss and health program called Body By Vi. My first day of the 90 day Challenge was July 4th, I weighed in at 291lbs and started the big push towards my health and fitness.
Today is August 20th, I have just hit my 20 lbs lost mark for my 90 day Challenge. I am averaging just over 1000 calories burned per workout, and loving how I'm feeling. MFP just dropped how many calories I should be intaking a day, and it still seems like its a lot of calories compared to others, but I also know that my weight im at now makes it needed. I can't wait to keep up this challenge, and then when it's done, start another 90 day Challenge to keep on my path towards my goal.
Any support and people who want to add me please do. I love reading others stories which just helps me feel even more motivated every time!
