Hey everyone, I am J a former Marine that is trying to regain my former body. I was quite fat as a child and I lost all that weight when I joined the Marines, but after almost 3 years out, I have put a little on and I am terrified that I am going to look like I used to. I was picked on quite a bit and I know that adults are much better than kids, I always have this feeling that people are calling me fat behind my back.

So, what am I going to do about it?

I have been going to the gym for 8 months now, weight lifting but my diet has been unhealthy, supplamented with beer and vodka (I live in Poland now) soI am going to make some sacrifices, cut down the size of my portions and keep at and hopefully start to see some results.

I guess that's all really. I am a teacher if anyone is wondering why I am in Poland.

There are a lot of great people, great info, and great free work-out programs on this site. The folks here are more than happy to help you reach your goals. Just ask. Make sure you research the different forums first to make sure that answers to some of your questions haven't already been answered by others. Welcome to the community! :big_smile:
