Today I had my last delicious, cheesy, calorie-packed hamburger for lunch....and it was absolutely delicious *gulp*:tongue:

My hubby left for the Marines today for 13 solid weeks, so it's time to get my butt in gear already!! Im going to focus and get serious about dropping 20 pounds in 13 weeks. My heart is hurting more than it ever has before, and Ive been choking down tears all day at work so far, but Ive decided to turn that saddness into motivation (because I figure thats what he's doing while he's at bootcamp)-

Hopefully in 3 months when we see each other....he'll be a Marine:heart: & Ill be his bangin' Military wife!! :heart:

One Question: Whos comin with me?

Anyone else care to take the 20 lb challenge??....*scared voice*:frown:...please?

    Me! Pick Me! I'd love to be part of a group who wants to lose the last 20, and yes, about 13 weeks sounds like a good goal! I think we could update daily & share our meals with eachother :)

    I think checking in daily is an awesome idea! And believe me ladies, I have more than 20 to lose as well, but I just wanted to set a goal that would cause me to work hard, yet still be tangible in only 13 weeks ya know?

    hhhmmm.....we should have a challenge name....ideas anyone?

    I think you'll have a lot of us joining you. Well not in the private moments for you and your hubby, but the weight loss. :laugh:
    We all dread the day that our love ones go away, but with them in prayers helps ease the pain while they are protecting our country. Ps.. any marines, army and any other branch out there protecting us while we go on with our daily life.. a big THANK YOU!
    Take advantage of the 13 weeks and when he comes home he'll get a double wammy.. no pun intended. lol
    He'll get to be with you of course and see the amazing new you.
