I'm new here to the forums, so let me introduce myself.

I work in California telling cops where to go and what to do when they get there. I recently found the MyFitnessPal application for the iPod Touch and have been using it to help me get my weight back under control following the passing of my mother.

Unfortunately for her, her own dietary issues and sedentary lifestyle were what caused her passing just before Christmas of last year. This lead to her having fatty liver disease which eventually proceeded to cause non-alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver and ultimately, liver and kidney failure.

I typically work out about 5 days a week in the gym doing cardiovascular exercises and weight training, and I also participate twice a week in Itosu-ryu Karate lessons at a local community center.

    Hi there. So sorry about your mom. Glad that you're taking measures to be healthy again!

    I have always wanted to try a martial arts class...sounds like fun!
