I am single no kids but have several hundred adopted Marines in Iraq and Afghanistan who I support.

I also own a company in the fitness industry (no, I am not here to spam or sell anything.. My company does in home personal training and weight management consulting so unless you live in the Tampa area, not a whole lot to sell)

I come from an overweight family (like my mom is about 100 pounds overweight) and I am 30 pounds lighter now than when I graduated highschool.... I have spent over 60k on my education and on most accounts am considered an expert in my field but, just because I know what to do does not mean that I do not fall into unhealthy habits during times of stress or what ever .. .just like everyone else ....

Why I am here.... Okay, yes, I am in better than average shape but I have gained 7 pounds in the past year which leaves me feeling like crap, tired and unable to fit into 90% of the clothes in my closet. I spend my day being everyone's go to person and the "expert" so it is pretty hard to be seen as having weight related challenges or being anything less than "perfect" with my food and exercise. So, I guess I just need a place where I can rant, vent, confess and be held accountable for my actions (or inactions)

Okay, that's my story - I look forward to getting to know everyone else
