Off to a good start

Hey all just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I own a business where my appearance is directly related to my income.I am an ex cage fighter that had a motorcycle wreck and never got back into shape.and I focused on teaching and training others.when people would see me you could see them look me up and down and judge me right there.Somehow they make the decision that what I look like is directly related to what I know and what I can teach them.I have tried to lose weight a few different times but never with the motivation and determination that i have this time . I am down 21 lbs but I feel so much better my cardio is off the charts compared to just a few months ago.looking forward to making friends on here with people that are going through the same battle that i am.
