<human>: Hey guys. I am new to reddit and finally found a subreddit that is actually useful. In July of 2011, I weighed 315 lbs and was smoking a pack a day of cigarettes. On August 14, 2011 at 10 pm, I smoked my last cigarette ever. I spent most of the rest of the year fighting cravings while trying to eat healthier and exercise a little with little to no success. 

In January 2012, I weighed 315 lbs still and I knew it was time to get serious. I joined weight watchers and started running regularly. After 6 months on weight watchers, I was down to 273 and feeling great. I decided to stop paying and switch to myfitnesspal. I did decent through most of the fall and reached a low of 260 in November when I completed my first half marathon.

 But then I go complacent. I drifted in the mid 260s for most of December through about March. I was ok not losing anymore (eventhough I hadn't reached my goal yet) as long as I wasn't gaining. I ran 2 more half marathons. I wasn't even counting calories anymore. 

Well then I got married. Between the week of the wedding, the honeymoon (7 days all inclusive in Mexico = stuffed my face for a week), and a business trip where I was eating out for a week, I was back to 275 at the end of April and not happy at all. 

Now its time to get back on track. I'm back on myfitnesspal, this time dragging my friends to use it to keep me accountable. and I have since gotten back down to 265. My ultimate goal has always been to go skydiving and the place I want to go has a max weight limit of 225. 

I have recently joined a gym and added strength training to my running regiment to help get in shape. I'm not really looking for advice, just happy to have a community to turn to for encouragement and advice should I need it.

Condense the text into a few key points
<bot>: I was fat. I'm still fat, just not as fat. No advice needed, just introducting myself.
