I first got into it about a year ago...after I was injured in Iraq, I got fat! I went from about 190-240. My cardio is very limited due to injuries.....note the xray to your left, and a torn ACL. So I started weight lifting...it was going great....I dropped to about 235, but a definite difference in appearence. Then I started working and going back to school....so I stopped going to the gym. Well this semester I took weight lifting to MAKE SURE I get some gym time!
