New here

Hello folks, i'm James. I am new here and glad to find this app and forum/message board. I have hefty goals set for myself but realize it's a day to day challenge. Earlier this year I started blending and eating healthy and dropped a lot of weight. During my weight loss I ran a 5k and was just on the road to happiness until I decided to quit chewing tobacco. That was my weight loss downfall. So I did the biggest yo yo weight loss-gain ever. I started at 275 was down to 228, stopped tobacco and now back up to 266. Very frustrating. Anyways, I hope I can stay on the wagon this time. I am still however tobacco free so there is a little silver lining there. Anyway, good to be here and I hope to make some friends along the way. I live in Lincolnton, NC and if anyone local wants to get together and work out or walk or hike just let me know. I'm not looking for a dates, just people whom are wanting to accomplish the same things I want to. Health and happiness. Hopefully this isn't a strange intro, but if it is good. I need motivators and people to help hold me accountable until I can honestly take full responsibility for getting my move on.
