in Introduce Yourself
Hi all. I started using this site this past week through my phone, and am excited to be here.

I've always been a little on the heavy size, but I blew up after my divorce.

Last year I failed the body fat content for service members and went up and down between 225-240lbs all year.

This year I was checked and failed again.

I am now in danger of being put out of the military, and losing my career that I love.

After last year of up and down I realized that I needed a total lifestyle change.

That's why I am here.

I have until 31 DEC 2010 to lose 6% body fat. And shave my 2 mile run from 21 minutes to 17.48

My goal is to lose more than that by then. I have set my goal to go from 235 to 200lbs by 31 December.

I want to get healthy for my children, my wonderful fiance, myself and my career.

    Hi and welcome.

    I think you've made the biggest step towards your goals, joining MFP!

    The support here has been wonderful (i'm only 5 days joined) The calculation tools are the best i've found.

    My advice, get a ticker up, send out friend requests (give encouragement and receive encouragement, it really does help) and set yourself mini goals.

    I just started 5 days ago using the phone app also and It's great. I too have always been up and down, but gained the most weight after my divorce 3 years ago. We can do it!
