    Sounds like me after Iraq. I lost about 25 lbs in Iraq... went from 200lbs to 175... then maybe 4 months after I came home was already up to 195 again. It's hard to keep a constant routine nowadays... but I've learned to make it a personal challenge for myself. Especially when, starting this deployment to Afghanistan, I had gained up to 214!! It's been a long road, but I've already lost more than I did in Iraq, and am continuing to lose that weight and gain muscle. Keep an eye out here... there's a lot of inspirational stories, and people to help you along the way. Best of luck to you.

    That's the hardest part, falling off and getting back on. It always seems like such a constant struggle. I too hope one day I can just latch on to that wagon, and be satisfied enough to never let go. Good luck to you, and welcome back!
