Back to ONEderland!

I have finally made it back to ONEderland. It only took over 20 years. I left the Marines in 1990 weighing around 160lbs. Over the course of the next few years I ballooned up to close to 300lbs if not more. I did not weigh myself then. I was in a stressful, long hour desk job. In January 1997, I changed careers into one where I am on my feet more. I started losing weight just because I was moving more. I tried so many different diets over the years. I would lose weight, but then I would gain it right back. I finally made the mental decision that I needed to do this weight loss thing, once and for all. I found MFP and the rest is history. I think the difference is that I am not restricting what I eat, but how much. I am so looking to losing another 40-50lbs. Then I will be lower than when I got out of Marines. So stay tuned for the new and improved me. Thanks to all my friends on MFP that keep me encouraged.
