Working on a lifestyle

Hey guys, I've started using this app after using a competitor and I do have to say that this one is quite a bit better! I am over a week into my new diet/lifestyle change and I'm looking to lose a substantial amount. I am looking at losing almost 200 pounds and I know that it will be a long journey and tough at times, but I've started and I won't be going back to my old habits.

A little about me, my name is Jerome and I'm 25 years old. I have been overweight since 3rd grade and have been on a constant incline in my weight. 2 years ago I decided that I was going to lose weight and I worked out almost every day for about an hour each day, and I was on a 1600 calorie diet and over a period of 4 months I lost 65 pounds. Since then, I've gained it all back, and I now have friends to hold me accountable and a nutritionalist as well.

You may be asking yourself, why did this guy decide "why now?" I got married about a year and a half ago to my beautiful wife, and she has always loved me for me, even though I'm overweight. That added a little bit of fuel to my fire to not care about what I was eating, but recently I've come to realize that I want the best for her, and part of that is me being there for her and being able to do the outdoors activities that she has always wanted to do.

Well, I hope to see you guys on the boards!
