Hi my name is Rachel, I am a SAHM to 2 boys(1yr and 3.5 yr). My husband is deployed to Iraq for 1 yr he'll be home late march for 2 weeks vacation and i would ideally like to lose all my weight before then. but he doesn't come home for good until September so i do have a realistic time frame too. I think that keeping track of my calories will help a lot so thats why i joined this morning. i hope i joined the right site to help and introduce me to calorie counting. And advise appreciated.

    Hi, Rachel...my name is Holly. This is the second time I have been here on this site. I lost 10 lbs then slacked off. I have since gained it back. My boyfriend is also deployed to Iraq and I would love to lose 30 lbs before he gets home. The calorie counting really helps. The motivational support is great also. Good Luck and Happy New Year!!!

    I joined last week and I'm liking this site a lot! How much are you looking to lose? I just think you need to set a realist goal so you don't set yourself up for failure and give up because you get down on yourself. Meal planning is important too so you have a plan. Good luck! If it is to be, it is up to me!

    i wanna lose 19lbs total and would be happy with 10 by late march. i have a treadmill and even have a 6 weeks diet program that i ordered a couple months ago but only used that for about a week and i think i last used the treadmill back in august. So i have the tools i not sure what else to do be sides to "just do it" :smile:

    I totally think you can DO IT! You just need to hold yourself accountable, log your food every day and your water intake and exercise. YOU CAN DO IT!
