Hi ladies i joined here a while back (as you can see from my post above) but life took over, i am still here in the UK, hubby has just deployed on the MEU for 6 months so using this 6 months as my goal to drop the weight i need. Just wanted to say hi, again, and hat i will be sticking around this time i need all the support i can get.

Glad to see you back lilmrsmullen :) I've been in and out of here not posting nearly what I should but I'm trying to get back in the swing of things now that the holidays are over.

I have a question, I am wondering for those girls that have lost alot of weight like you ssgtswife. Does cellulite get better the more weight you loose? I know it never goes away but does it get better? I was also wondering if strength training helps improve the sagginess factor? I am not too bad but enough for me to wonder. lol

Hi everybody...

I haven't posted here in a DOG's age but I'm still on the wagon :-)

Just a quick hi and hope everyone's doing well. I'm just busy with work these days so I'll be back around when I have more time.

Hi ladies! How are you all doing? I have been crazy busy getting ready for our PCS back to the States..talk about being stressed. I don't know if I mentioned before or not but my DH is transferring to the Army from the Air Force and we are stationed overseas in Germany..so the process is twice as complicated... Anyways...hope all are well!

Ok So I Made It Past My Halway Mark But My Husband Is Coming Home In The Beg Of March Forty Five Day I Think. I Dont Know If I Can Loose Another Twelve Pounds Before Then! I Signed Up With A Personal Trainer And I Start On Tuesday Because I Have Lost 38 Pounds But I Havent Been Working Out At All. I Used To Be In Top Shape Because I Was In The Army Myself but I Got Pregnant And Gained 140 Pounds . I Feel Like Yeah I Am Loosing The Weight But I Am Missing Out On The Being In Shape Thing. I Remeber When I Got On The Scale Before Delivery And It Said 272! So I Am Almost 100 Pounds Away From That Now. But Then Again My Son Is Four! Oh Well I Guess When You Loose It You Loose It Right? Whatever I just want him to be shocked and I think he will because last time he saw me I was in a size XL shirt and eighteen in pants and right now I am in a medium dress shirt and size twelve pants. I had my body fat done (it really wasnt all that bad at my biggest because I have so much muscle) but right now its 27% so all in all my measurements have gone down more drasticaly than my weight. My friend and I are around the same height and we have been doing ww together since october and she is in a bigger size but the same weight as me. I am just worried once I start working out my muscles will get bigger again. I have that issue since I was born. I tend to build muscle really fast. The guy that did my body fat said that he was shocked at the amount of muscle on my body lol I dont know if that was a complement or he was meaning look at this fat chick with all this hidden muscle! But anyways I am hoping to be able to tell him I have lost fifty pounds since October when he comes home, guess I will just have to wait and see.

ok so I have a question what are kcal ? are they the same as regular calories? Thanks

Hi ladies! Prayers for the families who have recently lost members in Iraq. My hubby's unit lost a couple of guys. I am counting our blessings!

Christy, we have the same goal, 50 lbs. lost by the time he comes home! Mine isn't due home until September, but could be home in March for leave, maybe.

How's everybody else doing? Just updated my ticker, check it out!!!!!! I'm doing the happy dance!

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is doing well! I know how you all feel about losing weight before they come home...Last deployment Dh went on I said I was going to lose so much weight and I only ended up losing maybe 20 lbs..but then that was in 6 mo. I am finally halfway to my overall goal though..

Hello Everyone.... New and Old.... Its been almost a month since I have posted heck maybe longer. I have gained 5lbs but I'm not worried I am still doing really great on my plan and exercising. Daniel came home on leave for the past two weeks and he was shocked to say the least. I had lost 50lbs in 5 months so it was a shock for him to see me. He was like you seem so much more confident I love it. I was like good haha I love it to. Now I have 6 more months to make my first goal of 180ish. I haven't been there since before I got pg with my two babies so hopefully I can make it before he gets home from this deployment and give him another big shocker LOL. How is everyone else doing?

ok gals I was whinning over nothing to you all but thanks for listening. So I started with my personal Trainer and he is tough! He told us to keep a journal of what we were eating. He saw mine and was like awsome. I am doing ww and I was alittle worried since I normally count points not calories. In the end I guess I have been eating from 1200-1280/ a day. so that was suprising. I was so worried like I said before of gaining weight. Well yesterday was my weigh in day and I got on the scale and was so shocked I almost fell back off the scale. lol I have lost six pounds in a week! I told him this yesterday at training and he was like well you will have to eat alittle more then on training days. He thought a six pound lose in one week was too much lol. I am happy though.

Christy-is your trainer at a local gym or on base or what? I would really like to get a personal trainer too but am getting ready to move soon..hoping at my new base to find a trainer somewhere..

hi just checkin in where is everyone? lol

I'm here not posting much. I'm on an upward trend at the minute.

I'm trying to pluck up the courage to go to the gym on base. Went with OH on friday now I just need to get in there.
