Just Starting out, is there a place I can talk about my workouts and track my progress daily? Fitness

I'm 26/M weighing in at 300# at the beginning of the week. Its the heaviest I've ever been. Last year was a stressful as possible. I was buying a house, getting married, Got promoted to a more stressful desk job and continued maintaining my 80 hour work week, so health and nutrition took a seat on the side line.

Ive never been the healthiest person. In high school i played soccer and basketball and weighed in at 165#(practice or games 4 days a week kept me pretty in shape). Throughout college I got up to 220#. As I was finishing college I met the girl I ended up marrying and have been on numerous health kicks throughout the 6 years we've been together. I have been as low as 170 and sustained that for a year, but my (now) wife, got very sick and ended up in the hospital for 4 months, so my fitness again took the back seat. It seems like everytime I try to get in shape something comes up and sidelines my goals.

So now to the 300#. I Have been working 80 hour weeks for the past 3 years. It hard to find the energy to work out, and my days are busy, so there has been little time to take a break or eat lunch. The times I do eat lunch is because I'm grabbing something as quickly as possible, so that means fast food. I wanted to do some type of meal prep or at the very least eat healthy while at home, but I was living with my (now) wife's parents and food would just disappear, and I never felt comfortable cooking at their house, much less going into the refrigerator.

I have been avoiding mirrors and scales for the last 6 months knowing I've gotten much bigger. Finally i'm manning up and taking responsibility for what I've done to myself.

On Monday I stopped eating fast food and started calorie counting. I've been doing really well thus far as I haven't broken my count yet. I Signed up for a gym membership Wednesday night, and I've worked out on Thursday and today. I know weight is just a number, but according to my scales, I've lost 7 pounds already this week.

I really dont want to get side tracked again. I'm doing my best to stay motivated.

It should also be said that I try to keep my workouts and such off of facebook. My friends and family seem to come up with the best insults when I'm trying to workout.

TL;DR - Fat guy wants to get in shape, looking for a place to stay motivated and talk about/track my progress.
