Time for a change

Hi all just looking to introduce myself i am a 42 yo male from alaska. I have reached a high water mark with my weight and looking to start draining the pond so to speak. i am currently 218 pounds and 5'9" looking to get down to around 175. I slowly began to add weight after being a college athlete ended and a job promotion put me behind a desk. So i'm hoping that mfp can help me get back to where is should be and get my healthy lifestyle back.

feel free to add me i can use the support!!
