Lost 60 pounds while my husband was deployed to Iraq

I told myself I wanted to be half the woman I was, when my hubby left March 2010, when he returned March 2011!, I went from eating about 3,000 to 4,000 calories a day when he was home - down to only 1,200 calories a day... Its freakin' HARD!!! But I went from 218 pounds down to 153 pounds!!!
My profile picture Is a before and after --- the photo of me in the white shirt was taken the day he was deployed. I saw that photo and cried my eyes out !!! I told myself I couldn't keep eating the way I had been. So I decided that day that I would make a change in me....
Now he's been home for 3 months and its a struggle to keep from falling into bad habits again.... I'm trying to encourage him to eat better...and LESS!!! :happy:

FANTASTIC! I did the same thing when my husband was deployed to Korea for a year... by the time he came home from Mid-tour, I had dropped from a size VERY tight 12 (I think I was in denial that I really needed a 14) down to size 4-6... 30 lbs in 5 months for me... Congrats on a job well done!

I'm doing the same as you did. My husband has been stationed overseas for almost 4 years. He has been home to visit from time to time but he has yet to see me at this size. I can't wait till he does!
You look awesome. Keep focus. Lead by example and he will come around to your side eventually.0 -
