Hello folks..just a little quick history...

Married in 1998, divorced in 2004...by the end of it I blew up into the 320's. At one point before my divorce my then wife told me "you'll always be fat and never find a good looking woman again if we divorce"...that stung a little bit. Early 2005 I finally decided to do something about it and joined Weight Watchers...there were no smartphones or apps then so it was the only thing I could think of trying to help my fat self. It was working for me, at one point after the divorce I had to drop something off to the ex-wife's work and her co-workers were amazed and I heard she was upset that it took a divorce to make me lose weight...mission accomplished, well kinda anyway.

By 2007-2008 I was down to 225lbs...felt great, wore normal sized clothes, had confidence I didn't have when I was fat and just felt like hiding from women...and started dating again. But then it slowly went downhill from there..didn't pay much attention to how good I was doing, going out, restaurants, movies and all that stuff.

Today I'm up to 301.4lbs. I'm mad I let myself go like this again but I need to do something about it again. I know I did it before so I know what I need to do and MFP can help me this time :)

My goal is to get down to 200-210 and I would love to be able to go on vacation with trying to hide myself with a tube as I go to the ocean because I'm embarrassed of my body.

I have a closet full of clothes that I don't fit into anymore and would like to wear them again...plus buy new clothes too. And mostly not die due to complications of being obese. Being fat even affects having a fun social life and I hate that. I haven't dated in a while because I don'tn like myself, so I wont be happy with someone else till I change that.

Taking my "before" pics today, something I didn't do the first time around back in 2005...this should be fun.

Ok, sorry for ranting to you all about my fat life story....LETS DO THIS! :)
