Thumbs up New Here and my story

I am a SAHM to 2 little boys 3 and 18 mos. Navy wife and my husband is deployed and is coming back in 2.5 months. I decieded to lose weight during his deployment because during the last one he had lost 40 lbs. And I want for his jaw to drop as mine did when I saw him last time. I excersice 5-6 times a week, mostly cardio, and for the last 2 months I have been on and off doing Nutrasystem. I have done in the beggining of my journey the sacred heart fad diet. It maybe a fad but if you continue working afterwards it is a great way to jump start a diet and detoxify a diet. Also at this point I drink prob 150oz of fluids a day. I hardly eat out, and dont eat late, I dont take any weight loss suppliments. Knowing about foods, and nutrition is key.

Well my weight loss journey began 05/14/06 and I know this is abnormal, but I have been averaging 15 lbs per month. 4 months later and I am down 60 lbs.





I am looking forward to seeing how much more I loose before he comes back. Once I reach goal i will start working more on tonning. Although I am more muscular, and can jog for 4 miles with my double jogging stroller. This is a life style change for me and my family.

Thanks all, he does know of my progress and has seen pics, but it is still im sure hard for him to imagine or fully understand, its one thing in pictures and another in person Im sure it will be amazing, and yeah there will be tons of loving! He is working on loosing weight, cause he gained it all back between deployments, he has now lost 30 lbs himself. YAY!

You look great! He'll be so happy to see you....you're right, pictures are different from the real thing!

I'm a fellow Navy wife, so I know your excitement is growing as the days pass! Congrats on the upcoming homecoming! Hope it's a great one! No more deployments here, thank goodness! My sailor is home to stay!
