Looking for support

I'm needing to get a support group going.
Here is why.
It's time to start over. It's time to begin a new life. It's time to step up and take responsibility.
January 2010 is an important day for me. It's the day I first started my weight loss journey. I was 230 pounds and wanting to take back my life. I did. Over the next six months I lost 50 pounds and was the lightest I had been since I was in the army at age 18. I was hiking miles, trail running and doing competition type races like the Warrior Dash.
Then it fell apart.
Within two years I lost my house, my family car, my job and my marriage. I ended up divorced and almost penniless. I still am. But I'm mentally stronger and it's time to reclaim myself.
I now weigh almost 100 pounds more than I did two years ago. I have twice as much weight to take off this around.
But I know I can do it. The experience four years ago taught me that. I need to get back the old new me and make it the me from now on. I have a lot to overcome and still left to do. I'm working on it.
It's time.
