Hello everyone!

Hello, I am new here and trying to make a huge difference in my life. I suppose I should give you a little background information.

Once upon a time I was in very good shape. I served in the military and worked out all the time. Then I got injured. After that, my entire life changed. Between bouts of depression and the inability to workout and/or do anything to really make a real difference, I am finally in a position in my life to attempt to change things.

I never really watched what I ate, or even learned all the much about nutrition for that matter because I used to work out so much. So my struggles at this point are learning how to eat healthier (counting those calories and whats inside the foods I eat), and then learning how to work out again. I am unable to do all the workouts that I once could due to all the pain/injuries I have sustained which are greatly exacerbated by all the weight I have on me now.

This is going to be a long journey, but thanks to myfitnesspal I have been able to track my food so much easier than I was previously doing it on an Excel sheet. Well, I guess I am not really sure what else to say, that is about it for me.

Oh yeah, I am always looking for new great healthy recipes and/or other things related changing to a much healthier overall lifestyle. This seems like a great community and I look forward to being a long term member!
