    Hello Jessica

    Welcome - and good for you. I wish you well not just in loosing weight but with the army. I spent 6 years in the army and loved it a really good experience. Basic training will shift weight so don't be worrying too much!!!!!! I would strongly recommend you start running it's a very good base before doing basic. You asked about home exercise............. I do Davina's dvd it's excellent and really gets you going.

    Good luck with everything.

    I really enjoy the cardio kickboxing class I go to twice a week. In fact, I got a bag to use at home because I like it so much. It gets really hard about halfway through, but when you are in a class, you don't want to be the only one giving up-so it helps motivate me to finish. Also, you can get "Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism" which is a Jillian Michaels dvd for $9 at Walmart and its a great combination of cardio and strength training and all you need is a mat and hand weights. Just a couple of ideas. Good luck!!
