Rane McC.

Hello Rane.  First appreciate your service.  Second saw your post on VShred...and some of the reactions.  Just wanted to encourage you, keep on keeping on.  You are young and this will pay off big dividends when you get to my age.  
          
          I started my health and fitness journey three years ago.  I was 300#.  I am now 210#.  Still along way from your physique but at 58 years old, I will likely never get there but light years ahead of where I was: so I can not offer you advice but can offer you encouragement.
