Introduction part blahhhhh

I am writing this now as I have been slack in even getting the first post up.

I'm Paul, I am current resident of California, USA and was brought up (and still am) a New Zealander. I am
slightly taller than my counterpart Adrian at 6ft 4 and a lot heavier at 142kg currently. I usually sit around the
136-138kg mark and I am trying to get past this and down to a much better weight for me.

My main motivation has been lately finding out I could go back to playing sport that I have been missing out on for 14 years.
I had a random knee injury that specialists told me there wasn't much they could do and that I shouldn't be playing sport but I
recently found out that this is incorrect. So this has given me extra motivation to drop more weight and hopefully be able to get
back into the things I loved when I was younger.

Currently I have just started physical therapy for my knee so my main exercise is 1 hour of exercises until I can strengthen a lot
of my muscles around my knee. I am planning to hit the weights a couple of times a week or more to get some upper body work going.
Eating wise I have just started mixing things up in the last few weeks and I am dropping some of the carbs I usually eat and adding
in more protein. I have gained a little more weight in the last month or so from eating worse than I did before and I want this to change.

My goal is to hit 105-110kg and be back playing sport actively. I also want to still be able to enjoy food like I do but in a healthier
way. I think a big part of my problem is lack of exercise as I am naturally atheltic and my body is craving sports.

I am going to do this and make a difference to my life.
