Tired of being overweight.

So, I am overweight...there I said it and now its out there. I am looking to knock this weight off and I want to do it by the end of the year. I am going to see my in-laws in Korea and I want to show them why my wife married me in the first place. I am looking for support and motivation and in return I will provide the same as best as I can. I work allot but I will be as supportive when I can. I also am using the Fitbit tracker "One" and would like to make friends with people who are using the same device so that we can motivate each other (or others) in our activities. Thanks, Ken.
