Hey everyone. Names Kevin, been a long time lurker, and now, at 30 it’s time to stop making excuses.
I’ve got a beautiful Bride, 2 wonderful children and a 3rd just around the corner.
I’ve also decided that just because I was denied back in 2010 from joining the Air Force, doesn’t mean I can’t try again. Will I likely be the oldest in my flight if I get in? Yeah. But so what?
I have the desire to do this, and have already started by eating better, drinking more water and tea and cutting wayyyy back on carbonated beverages.
What I am looking for, as I’ve not been in the greatest shape for many years, is a place to start and some kind and generous people to help guide me and motivate me a bit more than I already am.

There is plenty of support here. While I am too old for any military I have recently thought about learning to fly (have not even mentioned it to my husband as I know he will be adamantly against it).
Good luck with your family and your goals2 -
Go get in, and be the voice of wisdom. The buff voice of wisdom!0

I just posted this myself: Listen, I fell into a bad place and I’m determined to get out of it. I have lost 80 pounds using MFP before. It works! I can help you but right now I need YOU to help ME do this again. Hold me accountable! Look at my log starting tomorrow. I have a baked goods addiction. My name is Joanne and I am addicted to sugar. I am getting an elliptical and I need to use it. I own a business and work from home so I need to get out more. Add me as a friend!0

Thank you one and all for your outpouring of support.0

I am using the Keto plan to get a good jumpstart on the weight loss. It took me a couple of weeks to get it all down, but I am doing well with it and have lost 16.5 lbs in 30 days, and that is with zero exercise because I am injured. If I could add exercise in, I can’t imagine how much better I would be doing! The best part is that I am also learning how to eat low carb and hopefully will make it a lifetime commitment!! Good for you Kevin!! Go get em!2

I’ve been on the upswing since a big loss a year and a half ago. Everyone can add me too. I need all the friends and support I can get!!0

I’m a sugar addict like Joanne. I need to kick the habit.

having a growing family is time consuming and many of us put our fitness goals on hold during that time. You are not alone. Congrats on finding a goal to motivate you to put yourself first.. your kids and wife will be the first to benefit from you being more fit and healthy. Congrats, and best of luck to you on your journey.1
