Starting tomorrow

With the suggestion of my dear cousin I am going to start logging everything tomorrow. I am married to the love of my life and we have a one year old son. I was not at my ideal weight when I got pregnant (30 lbs off) and after having my son I have not lost my baby weight (actually I gained 10 more lbs) So I am now ready to get back in shape and keep up with my son. I am tired of constantly hurting and finding everything so hard. My clothes not fitting right and all the other horrible stuff you experience when your over weight.
I'm starting off at 254 my ultimate goal is 165-170. With me luck!
