Military Veterans support

javafate

Hello all - testing the waters to see if there is interest in having a support group for military veterans. A little background on myself...

I've got one month completed with no cheat days or going over on my calorie goals (1600). A little background - I am a disabled veteran (US Army Artillery) with nerve damage in both legs and lower back issues. I am a 41 year old guy, 5'7 and started a month ago at 286 pounds. Right now I am only doing better eating, having not yet incorporated any exercise. By day I am a desk hound that rarely moves around working on veteran issues. Up until a few months ago I used to travel a lot eating take out or fast food.

Even today I think that I am addicted to fast food. I don't just eat it because it's easy, I really do like the taste. That will always be the most difficult thing for me.

I am currently at 19.6 pounds lost.

Weight loss by week has been:
Week 1 - 7.8 lbs
Week 2 - 6.8
Week 3 - 1.6
Week 4 - 3.4

I know that my numbers will slow down...I just have so much to lose right now. I am looking at around 2.5 per week.

If you are interested, please feel free to add me as a friend and start posting on here! At a minimum, let's introduce ourselves!

Good luck all!
