Not sure what I'm supposed to write, so here goes....
I'm in my own personal battle for a healthy life and body. I am 218 lbs on my 5'4" frame. My healthy weight has always been around 140lbs. In fact I don't think as an adult I have ever weighed any less than that. So 140lbs is my ultimate goal.
My battle with my weight started with my pregnancy almost 4 years ago. I gained a whopping 90lbs with my daughter. So since then I've been unhealthy and large. I am looking forward to my size 8 jeans again.
My husband is going to be deployed for the next 7 months, so that gives me a jump start to my weight loss, because I can focus on my health and exercise programs. I'm going to be working out 7 days a week (1 hour cardio/ 3 days a week weight training) and following a 50/50 carb/protein 5-6 small meals a day diet program. I will also be watching my calories using this program.

    Much success to you! Your husband being gone will motivate you to be ready for when he comes home!

    I've been making excuses like: My husband leaves in a week, I'll eat healthy then.
