Trying to get back in shape

Hi all, I created an account here a couple months ago but haven't really done much with it until a couple weeks ago. I am doing good right now but I was hoping to add some friends here to help keep me motivated.

A little about me -
I used to be in fairly good shape, at one point was running about 30 miles a week. Then after I got back from Iraq I needed to have back surgery, which kept me from running or doing any strenuous exercise for a few months. After getting out of the Army I gained more weight and my marriage went south, which led me to stress eat even more. I ended up gaining over 100 pounds in about 2 1/2 years. I am starting to get back in shape now, losing about 16 pounds from my peak weight. I want to get all the way back down, more or less. I hope this website helps me achieve my goal!
