    Thank you for your dedication and service! My great-grandfather, grandfather, and uncle were all Marines. Welcome to My Fitness Pal...there are so many perspectives and so much information on this site. It has been very helpful for me as I try to find balance and the path toward overall health. Good luck to you on your journey!

    Welcome my godchild is a Marine who just got back from Djubuti, (not sure if I spelled that correctly) Africa. I totally admire the Marines and what they go through to become one. Thank you for your service.

    Welcome!

    Thank you for your service and good luck in trying to get in shape. Although, it must be hard when you don't have much control over what you eat.

    My uncle was a lifetimer in the Army and he use to bring us home those packaged meals for us to use when we were play camping. I'm sure the food is better these days.

    There are plenty of forums here for you to choose from and all of them are filled with people supporting and helping each other.
