Hello from Baghdad, Iraq! I just found this site and am loving everything about it. I'm currently deployed until the fall of 2011, so i decided to make the best of it by "getting my army back".........long story short, joined the military, was in great shape. in the past 4 years i've gotten married, had 2 beautiful babies (15-mo apart via c-section both times), knee surgery, sinus surgery and physical therapy for a slipped disc in my back. needless to say the weight from my first pregnancy remained throughout my second pregnancy and both surgeries.
Since i'm in Iraq for the next 7 months, i'm using that time to shed 60 pounds and return home as fit as i was when i first went to boot camp. i have no fast food to be tempted by, no way of storing much food, if any, in my little home and office space, and free time every night to hit the gym. It's literally now or never for me!
Can't wait to meet you all and hear your stories!
