Well, obviously I am here because I have a goal in mind and figure by talking about everything and reading others posts I can push myself to where I need to be. Little background....I am 28 and pushing around 350lbs at 6' flat. I decided to try this entire workout life change things for a multitude of reasons, but mainly because somewhere on my path I became slightly suicidal and decided to vent and push all my energy and thoughts into a new path...working out and getting back in shape. I have battled with my weight my entire life and about the only time I ever had it in check was when I was in the Army infantry...but unfort. that came to a crashing end after some severe injuries in Iraq which lead me up to this point. Sooooo, it is gonna be a long path, but it will be a great one if it is successful in the end in many different ways.
