Thanks for the welcomes so far. In all honesty most of my problems stemmed from just eating at fast food places for the past 10 years. Then being up all night long on my days off bored to death I would just snack. Every now and then I used to get a surge of motivation to snap myself out of it and eat healthy for 3 months and I drop weight pretty fast eating a normal amount of calories.

I have most of my eating under control. Actually I'm probably not eating enough right now. Kind of going through my cleansing phase. Just trying not to eat as much of the crap I used to.

I'll get my diet journal down soon. Still all over the place with a bunch of stuff I'm trying to get under control between work, home, finances and all that. My ultimate goal is to get back on day shift so I can have more of a "normal" life and be awake on my days off and use my time.

By next year I'd like to be able to do some sort of marathon. At least biking again. Might not be able to do too much running at my current weight. I busted up my ankle in 96 pretty bad and it hasn't been the same since. Just not sure if it can handle the pounding of running. Someone said jump roping will help strengthen my ankles enough to start.
