Hard times breed better men? Let's find out

Options
Hi there. Been on and off MFP for a while but never really stuck with it. I recently had major spinal surgery, then my wife cheated and left me, then appendicitis a month later. Lying in that hospital I made a choice. Old me is dead and gone. I'm going to finally get in shape. I've been overweight since I was 15. And now pushing 29, I want to feel more complete. Getting in shape is my holy grail. The impossible dream. If I can do this, I can do anything. And so can anyone else
