Hi all,

I have been using my fitness pal on and off through out the last few years. Now it has gotten to the point where i need to commit 100% to loosing weight and I believe that eating right using this app and the support of you all will help me get there.

Like the title mentioned I was 180lbs in 2009 and thats when i first met my wife, i guess being in love and not watching what i eat has gotten to this point in my life where is 2016 and i am 320lbs. I am currently 25yrs old and I work as head of marketing for a small company in suburbs of Chicago. I have a 2.5yrs old son who I love and adore, so I want to whip myself back in shape to be able to run around and play with him without running out of breath.

I hope that with everyones support, I will be able to start this journey and hit my first goal of 250lbs and then the ultimate goal of 200lbs. I am ready to eat right and workout to get there!

LETS DO THIS!!!

    I was already overweight when I got married 2 years ago and since then I've added another 35 lbs. That put me in the obese range. I now have around 80 lbs to lose. Add me...we need all the support we can get. :)

    yall can add me..i only have about 13 friends on here and only 3 or 4 of them are active, so i could definitely use more friends and motivation..i started out @ 180 (198 was my highest ever back in 06) a few years ago i lost 52 lbs, then we moved and many factors led to it all coming back, and i have had problems getting it back off ever since..so anyone feel free to send me a F.R :)
