Default Hello from Fort Bragg
Hi all. I sort of stumbled onto this community after a few bored google searches and decided to try it out. I've been trying to lose weight for years but just started becoming truly serious about it. My husband is in the Army and lo and behold I decided to join too! I can't yet due to my weight though so I am using the Army standards as my goal. It helps to have my husband there to push me, but I thought I could really use support outside the family too.

aymster, thank you for your support. I'm really excited about my plans! At first my husband didn't think I'd be able to handle it when I told him I was jealous of him being in the Army (I have always loved the military). So I started getting up at 0530 and going to my own personal "PT" at the gym. When I first started that, I always got funny looks from the soldiers there, but I think it's earned me respect from both them and my husband. So now my husband will push me out of bed on those mornings I try to slack off, like this morning
