    Combat Vet

    Just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to the board. Hello Board I've been involved in physical fitness since 1998. At that time I joined the United States Marine Corps, Ooh-Rah! It goes without saying that being combat ready was just a given part of my life from hence day forth. At my best I was 200-205 lbs at 10-12% body fat. After a successful 8-month tour in Iraq, I returned home. At this time an Honorable Discharge in hand I moved back to Ohio. Working 60 hours a week, attending school full-time, and dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, I had neither the drive nor the time to focus on my health. Everyday I fell deeper into depression, and to match my physical state worsened as well. At my lowest, I weighed in at 230 lbs (str8 fat arse)!
    Fast forward to 2008...Currently I weigh 218, not sure on the BF%. Short term goal is 200, so about 18 more lbs to go.
    Once again Hello Board and I'm glad to be here!

    Respectfully Submitted

    Welcome Devil.....I was in the Corps myself and had to deal with PTSD. I hope your therapists were as good as mine. Some people would be surprised at how responsive some of the doctors are at the VA.

    Anyways welcome.

    I appreciate you guys making me feel welcome. In my personal experience this isn't always the case when joining a board:/ Just another reason I'm glad I made the switch. Thanks again bro's!!!

    Hey bro you should post this in the Diet or Workout forum and hopefully Nark will give you some responses, if he does definitely listen to him because he knows his sh-t.

    Semper Fi brothers! Been there with you teufelhundenjwa. Afghanistan, Iraq, and a few other sh-- holes that I can think of. I'm here for a restart also. Been working on and off since The Corps, but need a little extra motivation.
