putting myself out there

Hello all. My name is Joe. I'm a happily married man with 2 beautiful kids. My whole life has been a rough ride of ups and downs with my weight. This was all happening even when I was in the US Navy. At my 14 year mark, I was discharge due to high year tenure. I was pretty crushed that I wasn't going to be able to retire serving our country. But I was blessed to work for the military as a federal employee. The hardest thing for me when I got out was that I wasn't pushed to lose weight anymore. So I let myself go for 3 years. I was weighing in at 216 lbs at 5'5". Reality hit me one morning when I was putting a pair of 38" slacks and having trouble breathing when I put on my shoes. It was a really bad morning for me. I was also going through depression and taking medication. it was a hard time for myself and my family. At that time. It was now or never. I created accountability for myself and did something about it. I had an old copy of Power 90 laying around collecting dust since 2001! I finally finished the program and lost 43 lbs in 90 days!! Since then it's been history. I've completed other programs such as P90x, P90X/Insanity hybrid, and a few others. These program have changed my life. This road is tough, but also very rewarding. I couldn't have done this without the support from my family and friends. its a lifestyle not just a temporary thing, we all have those bumps in the roads, but its those bumps that make us stronger than ever. Feel free to add me as a friend
