Hi All...

I have used MFP in the past and it has worked well for me. I have recently retired from active duty (Army) and the first thing I stopped doing was Physical Training and as a result of my dumb-assness I have reached 306 pounds, the heaviest I have ever been in my life. Well, after a come-to-jesus moment I am ready to do this lifestyle change and get healthy once and for all. I have 6 year old twins and really want to be alive when they have kids. SO, here we go....ready to do this, make friends and motivate others.
