Been ages since I belonged to a forum like this. I'm 52 now. Two years ago I had three heart attacks and a triple bypass with some post I'm complications that left me couch ridden for eighteen months. I've never been more depressed in my life. My wife stepped up and got a job which has kept as afloat but I felt completely worthless.
Fast forward. Four months ago my wife tells me she's saved enough of her overtime to allow me to join the local Golds. I was dumbstruck. I'm not ashamed to say it nearly brought me to tears.
I walked into the gym at 311 at 5'9", 42.2% body fat. Today, after almost four months, I'm at 277, 29.8% body fat. But its such a battle. After nearly six years off I feel like I'm starting at square one. Where I struggle most is motivation. I keep doing the "I used to be..." thing and I hate that. So I'm hoping by joining a site like this I can build a group of friends who'd hold me accountable and maybe push me through the rough days.
Thanks for the read.
