Hey Everyone,
I'm looking to introduce myself and make some supportive, highly motivated friends.
I'm 23 years old and just got out of the Army after 6 years.
I'm a very recently divorced mother of a infant (he left me at 9 months pregnant and filed that month).
As you can imagine based off just this past year alone my weight has yo-yoed...
A year before I became pregnant with my adorable, smart, wonderful baby girl I lived in Las Vegas.
Out there I became very into fitness. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I climbed mount. Charleston. Every evening I attended Booth Camp Rhino.
And on my lunches every other day I alternated cardio (4 miles), with my hot yoga group.
As you can imagine I was a toned, lean girl.
At my peak fitness with most muscle I was 5'3 15% body fat and 125lbs.
Then I found my passion- marathons.
I cut much farther, I cut out all cross training and became a runner full time, doing several running events a month for a year.
I ended that at 5'3 and 106lbs 15% fat.
Then I became pregnant, needless to say I went through a lot and at my heaviest hit 170!!!!!!!!!!!
The divorce, work and raising a newborn alone I stabled at 155.
I've been intensely working out and dieting again now for about 5 months.
I'm now 5'3 127lbs.
I'm training for a 10k end of February.
By March my next goal weight is 120.
Ultimately, I'd like to stable around 110-115.
Currently I'm running 2 miles at 14min, and 4 at roughly 32.
My fastest time in the army was 13. I'd like to be running a 10 min 2 miles by this time next year (big goals).
Anyway lots of tmi there but maybe you'll find we have struggles in common, or similar goals!

I would think after getting out of the army that you'd hate running lol, but more power to you. Sorry about everything with your divorce, and good luck on your goals.0
