Beginning my Weight Loss Journey 28 yr old Male , 5'10" , 360 lbs

Hello all,

First let me start this long post out with a little background. It is rather typical, I was always the biggest person I knew growing up. With my username being the first nickname I had when in the 6th grade because I was jokingly 1 biscuit away from 200 lbs. I was always very active growing up which is both very good and very bad for me. It was great because I have a fair amount of muscle mass and can function fairly well. However, when I stopped playing sports and being my super active self after High school, I started to gain weight. The freshman 15 became the freshman 50.

Something just clicked in my head

I reached a weight of 330 lbs in 2011 and I got fed up. I changed my diet and started going to a park nearby my house and walking/jogging every day or every other day, depending on how sore I was. I ended up losing 80 lbs in about 4 months. All I did was change what I put in my body and just jogged a bunch. I did this mainly because I thought no one would ever want to date me the way I was. Shortly after reaching my lowest weight in years (240) I met a girl and we started dating shortly afterwards. Ever since then, I have never really been able to get back on the weight loss wagon. It is as if I would recognize that I need to, and it would go great for a week or maybe two, then something would happen and I would make the excuse, "Hey, I deserve it, I've done good." And I would be back to my old ways.

New Desk Job

Fast forward to last year and I am starting a new desk job. I work in IT now as opposed to my previous work experience which comprised mostly of retail work. I started this job at around 326 - 330 and I am now at 360 lbs.

Now what...

I guess my whole point with posting something here is for me to have some form of accountability and to maybe see if anyone else is also starting their journey so we could exchange tips or difficulties and maybe help each other out or help out someone who is not willing or not able to post.
