Second day here

Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself, see if I can't find a few people to support me in my journey! My name is Chris, I'm 23, a single father, overweight, and trying to get healthy.

I've always been hefty, and have gone through weight loss programs before, and found success only through calorie counting. After watching a New Year's Day marathon of "The Biggest Loser" on the Fine Living Network, I decided to start calorie counting again, and searched through the internet until I finally found this place. I must say I'm impressed with everything this site has to offer, and hoping all will go well.

One of the tools I'm feeling really good about is the blogging feature. I know it makes me sound very self-absorbed, but there is no better motivation than allowing words to flow out of me about how I really feel, then re-reading my writings and reflecting on what I was thinking and how I felt at the time.

So, yeah. Hopefully some of you will be willing to lend some support and encouragement, and help me with my goals! Thanks everyone!
