Well, I have been a member for some time now but have never started a journal. Have really enjoyed reading everyone else's. Here goes nothing.
Day 1 of journal: Life is pretty good right now, I have lost 43 pounds since the first of this year. Going to the gym at least 3-4 times a week. For the last month I have been using an online food journal and this really has helped me see what I am putting into my body and what I am using. This site is such an inspiration for me. When I started this journey I was 335 and now at 292, I still have a long way to go but now that I can do this with the help of my weight loss buddies and God. Believe me I struggle each day with making the right choices with food. I am truly a junk food junkie. Give me chocolate and chips and I'm happy. Chocolate has been the hardest thing for me to do without. I try to drink chocolate milk and keep sugar free fudge pops around.

Thanks for all the inspiration and look forward to getting lots of feedback from you all.
