    I am at the end of the decade and need to lose exactly 40 lbs! I am 6 weeks behind schedule, but I have an appointment with a trainer on Friday and will have 3 "kickstart" weeks before I go away for 2 weeks. Really depressed about the way I look and feel, which not the most noble motivation to lose weight, but it will have to do!

    You have a headstart with your military training! I am not great at all about working out, but I live in the city and walk a lot. I plan to do 3 workouts a week during the kickstart weeks, plus 10k steps. When I get back, I want to be exercising 5 x wk, and hopefully it will be properly spring by then and I can go for runs in the park.

    Thanks for starting this thread - hope we can get some more in here and keep each other motivated!

    Please add me as a friend and we can support each other. Just got done a a NOC shift n I’m tired but still heading to the gym.
    I get how you feel about feeling depressed. So much of our self esteem centers about how we look. Even though losing weight is healthy and makes us feel better inside. I want to look and feel fit!
    I’m weighing in every day and measuring L arm, waist, and L leg every week!
    Giving myself a cheat day.
