in Introduce Yourself
Hello,
I am fairly new to this app. I enjoy the macro aspect of the premium features as it is helping me with my weight loss while also continuing to build muscle. My story is sort of pathetic on my part. I was a division 1 football athlete, when my career came to an abrupt stop. I shattered my left ankle, and tore my ACL and MCL all in one shot. To make a long story short. I graduated, got married and I have 2 children. My daughter was just born a month ago. Its not that I have not been happy because I have. But there was a piece of me missing. And the weight kept piling on and on. And I ate like a grizzly bear. Whatever I wanted, whenever. It wasn't until my father was recently diagnosed with diabetes that I began to make a change. Shortly after that my wife found out she was pregnant. And that was all it took to spark me to make a chance. Sad I know, but I'm in the mindset now that I cannot and will not be stopped. I don't usually share my life with anyone. But the journey is tough and I thought it would be nice to have support of the group on here. I was 405lbs and today I weigh 329. But I still have a Long way to go.
