Hey all, I stumbled across this forum when searching around for weight loss forums to see if I could find some good support out there and this looks like a pretty darned good community. 
Putting it out there in a nutshell, I'm 35 years old and recently got back on the health wagon, dropping from 262 pounds to 250 in ten days. I've had some stress this past week, since that weight win and have gained back a couple of those pounds after a week of no exercise and eating like an idiot about as much as not, but I'm rolling with the punches at this point and getting back into the fray again now.
A few years back I was getting up to the 250 pound mark and decided I had to do something about it. A friend suggested I start training in kung fu where he trained and I decided to give it a try. Turns out I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected and two years later I had managed to get down to 227 before losing my job and deciding to relocate from MS to FL. With my move I lost my stability and over the course of a year I gained back all my weight and then some. When I finally stepped on a scale and saw I was fast approaching 265 I decided I really had to get on it.
I was really happy when I surpassed my first short term goal to drop to 255 from 262 in just over a week and I set a new goal for end of June to be back down to 230 and putting in an hour of exercise (whether that's simply walking, practicing kung fu or doing my best to keep up with a p90x video) and an end of year goal of 200 pounds. Ultimately, I'm looking to reach 180 pounds and have enough muscle to justify that weight at my height of 5'11".
Looking forward to checking in here, encouraging others and receiving the same. Good luck to everyone!
