GL ClydeGirl on getting to the gym on base. With 2 little ones and a deployed husband finding the gym is not possible with me lol. Luckily taebo kicks my butt quite regularly at home. Plus we can go for long walks since we are stationed out here in Hawaii.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

awesome, thanks

I got on the scale yesterday and it's up to 199.6. That's the highest I've been in just shy of three years. I got down from 235 to 163 ish in the summer of 2004 and then got pregnant with my youngest daughter that winter and even at 9 months pregnant topped out at "only" 197, so to say I'm devestated is an understatement.

But the flip side is that I'm bound and determined to get back down and stay down. I start school in March, and my hubby is on the 'hot list' Both good reasons, and the latter is much more important. He's gained weight right along with me, and it's held him back at both his civilian and real jobs. His run time is stagnant at 21 minutes, the highest it's been since AIT, and his weight is also at it's highest since Basic. I can't stand knowing that he was in good physical shape til we got back together {high school sweathearts} and my cooking and addiction to fast food and buffet style dining out options has done this damage to him and to his military career.

All in all, he's not deployment ready, and it's my fault to a large extent. He is responsible as well but I'm of the old school. What's almost as bad is knowing that the fact I'm not deployment-ready in the sense of being in the physical shape to take care of the homefront and knowing what that would do to him were he to be activated.

That in a novel-length nutshell is my motivation. I have to get back into shape to handle things here at home, and most importantly to help my soldier get back into deployment ready status.

Hi ladies! How are ya'll doing? So I am more than halfway to my goal. Yay! Dh got denied the transfer so he is staying AF for now..but I still plan on joining the Army in the fall (if I can either get to goal by then or get taped in)...

mkat-don't blame yourself for your DH not being in shape. I don't see it as your fault. He has the choice to eat well and keep in shape all on his own! Are the two of you dieting together now? That probably would be helpful. My DH eats junk left and right and doesn't gain really..That has always made it harder for me. After we got together I gained about 45 lbs! But still I don't blame him cause it was my choice to eat the way he was eating.. Anyways..climbing off my soap box now..lol. :-)

hi everyone can i join? i guess technically im still a military wife.
My hubby EAS out of the USMC last sept. We relocated to his home New Orleans, got jobs and still trying to adjust to civillian life.Hubby admited today he missed the corp, my experience as a usmc wife has been challenging. Me and hubby celebrated valentines aka our 2 yr anniversary, it felt like a 1yr anni because he was in iraq last year and i was 5 monthe preg our baby was born in march and he met her in may. ( i know there are many that can relate) anyhow we are now doing 2yr inactive reserve.

im currently using turbo jam, the bean and pender ball for exercise and using a simple diet plan im trying to lose anywhere between 40-60lbs

Morning girls. Friday again.

I didn't make it to the gym as my youngest has been sick this week. Started walking again yesterday and finally lost some weight this week. So a better week eating wise.

Gremlina are you still pcs'ing from Germany?

Welcome miafluker

Have a good weekend everyone.
