    You got this Devil! Dig down deep and find the motivation you had to join my beloved Marine Corps and once you find it, trap that fire in your heart! Semper Fi! Eeeeerrrrrr Bark bark growl and all that! que927wjnyfc.jpg

    We all need to be with someone who loves us no matter what...through richer, poorer, fatter, thinner...all of that!

    Congratulations on taking control, you can totally do this and become the best version of you that you can be!

    there are tons of excercises you can do at home without the gym...a lot of people do you tube videos. there are also all of those basic excercises...think back to your basic training days, I'm pretty sure you weren't in a gym too often. Push ups, sit ups, planks, wall squats, arm workouts with home weights (gallons of milk work great).

    Your eating and managing your CICO will be key to ongoing success in weight loss! Good luck, l look forward to following your journey!

    Wow. My story's similar to a few others on here. Former AF EOD veteran and after getting out, I balooned up to 340lbs at my highest. I got down to about 240 and gained back up to 290. I've been down this road before, due to depression, lack of motivation, and trying to find my place in the civilian world. I'm right there with you petey200745601. Whatever I can provide, I would love for us to help each other. Add me if you'd like someone with a similar path to keep up with, speaking for myself, I need it.

    Everyday I see some new comments in here of support. Glad to know I'm not the only veteran that coped with everything by overeating.. Makes me feel miserable when people say I'm a marine and they smirk. I know I should be better.

    Also, I should clarify my ex didn't leave me cuz of my weight, I pushed her away due to my own insecurities. She met me when I was big and didn't mind. Im the one who hated it. I don't think I can love someone else if I can't love myself.

    Adapt and overcome Marine! I started at around the same weight here. It can be done!

    Thank you for your service!

    When we have little ones the word shenanigans seems to come up a lot :) Feel free to add me if you need more support. Also, consider opening your diary, at least to friends. Helps with accountability.
