Hi all!

My name's Korey. I'm 26, looking for a job (after losing my old one to the economy :explode:) and finishing up my bachelor's degree in Humanities. I may be new to this nifty site but I've been on my weight-loss journey for about a year now. I started out at nearly 280 lbs. and got down to 218 about 3 months ago. Recently a lot of crazy stuff's been going on with my family, so I haven't had much time to concentrate on myself. Once things calmed down a bit, I got on the scale to find I'd gained back about 7 lbs. Not too much to worry about, but I can't afford to let myself slip back into old habits. So I was surfing about looking for a calorie counter, and found this site. I'm excited that there's a free site that offers all the tools and support of some of the other pay-sites. Hopefully I can get myself back on track quickly!
