Hey everyone. Just joined the forum a few minutes ago. Thought it might be nice to have a place to chat with others doing the same thing as myself.
I am 30 and live in Kansas City, MO currently I am checking in at about 235lbs. and stand 5'7 (so tall).
I have been around sports and fitness for years, but was never too serious about it for myself. I actually let myself get to 315lbs. But then using the magic of eating disorders lost it all and that as long as I was thin I was healthy. Until a wreck nearly broke my neck and almost killed me. For years I allowed myself to get out of shape, gain half the weight back and let my health deteriorate to the point where I was fearful of a heart attack before 30.
This changed about a year ago when I put all of my knowledge to use and started changing my nutrition. And a month ago rejoined my old gym and started a solid workout program.
So far I am down 30lbs from last year. Slow going but that was on nutrition alone. Now that the fitness aspect has come into full play dramatic results are starting to occur.
I can use all the encouragement I can get right now, to keep me motivated.
And in return, I am happy to share any and all of the knowledge I have gained over the years. I am fairly knowledgeable in the nutrition and fitness areas.
I hope to meet lots of great people here, and if anyone works out at Scott Fitness in Kansas City- I wouldn't mind a workout partner

Oh...here is a pic- once I get some progress photos up I will post them in another thread. And I will show the horrible terrible photos of me at 315 (scary music)
BTW this pic is from monday. (4-14)
