Hello

My name is Dino and I think this is as real as it gets with me.. I am 5 feet 8 inches tall and 47 years in age. When I used to worked out years ago..religiously..at least 6 days a week..I maintained a good 180..Cut to the present..I am currently 339 lbs..and struggling. I have worked out..dieted...off and on since 2012..and here I am again. Not trying to get fit for anyone but me. It is a struggle. I don't know why I quit so much..but stay saying I will do this..smh
I have heard people talk about this my fitness pal..so I figured I would try it..so far so good..got my first workout in..was tiring but I am willing to continue, so we will see how this goes. If you feel like you are determined to try but keep failing because of whatever your issue is..I say as long as you can look up..you can get up! Never think that because you stopped..you can't start again..Peace and Blessings to all that read my post..enjoy your life and keep pushing forward!

    Good luck on your journey! I think the reason most people start and stop is because they attempt to severely cut their calories and they can't sustain that lifestyle. For me slow and steady is the way to go. It may take you longer to get to your goal but once you're there you know you can sustain it for the rest of your life.
