Hey all! Just another boring introduction here. My name is Jason. I'm a Cajun boy at heart that's been serving my country in the US Air Force for the last 15 years. All military friends welcome. I've suffered a few injuries and had 3 surgeries this year (1 shoulder, 2 legs), but I've decided to stop letting that be an excuse and get into the best shape of my life. I'm a biker, gamer, creator, tinkerer, thinker, and joker, and would love to add fitness nut to that list.
Since I started logging in July, I've lost 16 lbs, half way to my goal weight, but really I just want to be fit and healthy, not skinny. I'm on a cutting diet now, working out 5-6 days a week. I've never been a runner due to my leg complications, but I am now able to run a full mile without stopping to walk at about the 11:30 mark, and I recently completed my first 5K, with some walking, coming in at 40 mintues. That was a huge milestone for me.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and that I've been reading a lot on the forums for tips and information. Thanks for putting all that out there for lurkers like myself.

Puis-je vous ajouter parce que vous savez français? Je ne suis pas française, mais je cherche quelqu'un avec qui je peux parler français

Mon français est pauvre, au mieux. J'ai été absent assez longtemps que j'ai perdu la plupart de ce que je connaissais comme un enfant. Mais n'hésitez pas à m'ajouter et je ferai de mon mieux!0
