Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum, and new to fitness. I'm just getting started on getting my body into the shape I'd like it to be in. I've ordered the "New Rules of Lifting" book, and the "Afterburn" fat loss manual, and the "Naked Nutrition" guide.

I've already started eating better, cutting out sugar and junk food, etc. I've lost a few pounds already, but I've got a long way to go. I'm 5 ft 10" and I'm currently 228 lbs. I'm also recovering from some pretty major knee/ankle/leg injuries, I've had my ACL and PCL replaced and have a bunch of titanium holding my left leg together.

I figured that part of knowing where I want to go is being honest about where I'm at, so I thought I'd post a picture of how I look right now, even though it's a little embarassing. I know that I've got a lot of fat and not much muscle, but everybody has to start somewhere, right?

I've already received the "Afterburn" manual, so I'll be starting with that program. I'll be tracking what I'm eating using fitday, and will do my best to follow the program exactly as written. I'm hoping to post some follow up pictures of my progress as I lose fat and gain muscle.

Anyways, here's the picture, as promised, but I've gotta warn you, it isn't pretty.

Thanks,
Randy
