Excited to Start a New Journey!

Hello! I'm looking forward to joining what seems to be like a great community of people looking to achieve similar goals. I have never tried to journal/log my food before, so I'm excited to see how it turns out.

I am currently 270, shooting for 180. I have been in this pattern before where I was 260, and reached 180 by intense running and an unhealthy diet (too few calories, fat grams, protein, etc). I ended up running a full 26.2 mile marathon once I got down to my goal weight. Due to my unrealistic diet, extreme work outs, having a child who was born and stayed in the hospital for the first two months of her life, and studying for my stock broker exams, all at the same time, I of course gained it all back (yes that was a very long run on sentence).

I'm looking to lose my weight at a more normal rate this time with a healthier diet. I am open to friends on here and support groups for accountability. Thanks for reading and good luck to everyone!
