New here but Ive been on Earth 43 years eating its bounty!

I actually wouldn't be shocked of I was the cause of some poor species extinction via consumption!

OK, wait...yea, that's me. The funny "fat guy". I don't want to be that anymore! I mean I like being funny and light-hearted but not for the sake of covering up the pain of obesity. I want to have a physical life I can enjoy for a change. Asa former athlete there's nothing worse that "being done". I feel like I've been done for about 7 years now. Hereditary arthritis and some other preventable ailments have made me feel like doing nothing was the best I could do. No more! I've been walking some pretty nice distances trying my damnedest to get back in some sort of shape other than round! I have no delusions of grandeur about becoming an athlete again, but I just want to do something again. Anyway, My friend "Fallenangelloves" recommended me here and I am looking forward to seeing how it all works out.

North Texas holla!!! :)

    Howdy from Montana. Feel free to add me if you want. I have arthritis and have had multiple leg operations which made me very inactive but I am moving a lot now and my primary activity is walking.
