Hello

My name is Joey. I have always been overweight in some capacity. I downloaded the MFP app randomly and decided to give it a go (completely out of the blue.) I have been doing this for a month and having success. The thought of using this message boards at first seemed unnecessary to me but I have found a lot of inspiration through other peoples successes, and gained a lot of wisdom through the lessons others have learned. A few things about me:

I am 5'7 and 3/4 inches tall.
I started out at 222.2 lbs.
My goal weight is 150. I probably haven't weighed that since JR High. I was all the way down to 167 a few years back and put a lot of weight back on when my grandpa died.
I am married to the love of my life Andrea.
I graduated college in 2010 with a double major in Bible/Theology and Philosophy.
I love sports, comic books and video games.

I would be very willing to add friends for added encouragement. If you'd like to add me, please add a little note so I know that you saw this or one of my other posts and aren't just adding all kinds of random people.
