Hi, I'm Chris

My name is Chris. Have always been a heavier guy and have had some weight loss but never maintained it. Signed back onto MFP since the food logging can sync with my BodyMedia Fit. Started hitting the gym last week (just cardio for now). I'll be 40 in December so if I'm going to get this under control, now is the time to start.

I'm 6'3", currently 265 with 33% body fat. Looking to get down to 225.

Needing help with keeping my motivation on track. Would like to join a support group to help me along and that I could also provide motivation for others.
