Success in Progress

Hello everybody. My name is Tony. I am a 41 year old retired wounded vet. I lost my left leg in Iraq in 2005. Over the last 13 or so years I have had a tremendous and horrible time trying to get a prosthetic fit properly. I finally did a procedure called Osseo Integration. That being done the overall outlook still didn't look to bright for me to get walking. However, in April I found some motivation and this app. I began my journey at 5'9" and 244 pounds. Way bigger than I need to be. Using this app has helped me with my weight loss. I am now 208 pounds and 33 pounds away from my goal. I have been walking everyday since April and I put in 4000 steps or more. Now it is more often more than 4000. I have rejoined my gym and track everything I do in this app. This app has really changed my life. I am up to working out about an hour and fourty min a day six days a week. It's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
