    I'm in! My husband just got home from Afghanistan last month. I have gotten really off track with him being home and I'm ready to kick it up a notch and get back to shedding the pounds. I REALLY need some support and someone to stay on me! I would really like to loose a good 15 by Christmas. I think that is a reasonable goal! SO COUNT ME IN IN YOUR GROUP! Thanks :-P

    My husband is AD Air Force and just got home last week from training all summer in CA. Dont want to fall off the healthy eating just bc he is home again (we also gained a roommate...that has a good metabolism) BAH! Tired of being the biggest wife!

    Yay! It's great to see that we are already building our team here:0) My name is Cassie and I'm originally from Iowa, but I am currently stationed at Fort Gordon with my husband. He's Active Duty Army and will be deploying in the next couple of weeks:0( I know, a bummer, but we'll get through it!

    I want everyone to feel comfortable enough to start posting what they're thinking, going through, or need help with:0) The best way to get through some tough times is to know that others are there to help you through it! Hey, I've met some of my best friends online these past couple of months! Again, I'm just glad we can all connect.

    To start of some conversation, what kind of workout is everyone doing at the moment?

    I'm currently 3 weeks into my P90X/Insanity Hybrid! Lord help me! lol

    OMG! Just a few more days! How is your progress? Did you lose weight? Tone up? I toned up A LOT the first round I did, so I went back for a second round:0) I had to move on, but then I realized that I was completely addicted to P90X lol! So I'm back at it again and it's STILL kicking my butt! LOVE IT! Keep up the motivation:0)

    A lot of toning, but barely any weight loss, and it's kinda driving me crazy bc I only have a few more pounds to hit my goal, but they won't come off.

    I was the SAME way! I toned up a lot, but barely lost 5lbs! I've only got about 10-15lbs left to hit my goal weight! I am definitely looking and feeling better, but I'm in the Army Reserve myself and would LOVE not to have to be taped!

    So, my husband deployed today...kind of in a funk, but I know I'm going to have to snap out of it quickly! I want to make sure that when he comes back I'm the girl he first met 4 years ago:0) I've armed myself with some awesome tools for weightloss and I'm going to make it happen! I've got around 199 days before he comes back on R&R...very possible! I'm thinking about taking the Chalene Extreme & TurboFire challenge! If anyone wants to try it out with me, let me know:0)

    So, day 3 and I'm still surviving without my hubby...good to know, lol. I've managed to get myself up early this morning and start a good schedule. I started with a devotion, then finished off "Failing Forward" by John C. Maxwell (great book btw!) and started Chalene Johnson's 30 day Challenge. I'm going to be doing a lot of evaluating when it comes to my goals and I think I have all the tools to get me focused. It's important to have a great support system and accountability falls into that too!

    Hope everyone is pushing strong and staying healthy!

    Alright my friends! It's been over a month (going on 2) since my hubby has been deployed. I think I have done pretty well emotionally. Of course I've had some hang ups, but I find myself pretty fortunate with the amount of technology that is available:0) So, I'm going to continue to look forward to the time he returns and bettering myself!

    I've recently started a 90-Day FIT Challenge in which I "push play" everyday and eat Primal! I've done extremely well eating Primal before, but allowing myself too many "cheat days" the last couple months my husband was home makes me feel like I'm starting all over again. Right now, I find myself in the same transition phase I was in when I first started eating completely clean. A lot of my energy is SPENT by the time I finish a crazy INSANITY workout and I'm struggling to consume an adequate amount of calories. I have paid the price for under-eating too many times! It's time to step it up!

    Haven't heard from any of you in a long time and I hope all is well! Just want to let you know that you're not alone in your struggles AND triumphs! So keep committing and let me know what's up!

    Decide. Commit. Succeed.
    Cassie
