Looking to begin a healthy lifestyle

hi all! I'm new to the myfitnespal community. I'm trying this out because I've been overweight most of my life and I've been sick of it. My husband is already a very fit, active person and I'd like to be able to enjoy the same activities he does without feeling self conscious or slow. Overall I'd like to make a lifestyle change. We're wanting to start a family soon and I'd like to be healthy enough to do that and be able to pass on good habits to our future children. I'm looking for anyone who wants to share in the journey because I love getting feedback and sharing encouraging, motivational words. Let's do this together!
