    Don't forget variety. Consistency is most important. If your getting to stressed loosing weight your doing something wrong.

    Former Army here. I separated in 2006 and slowly gained weight until I got to where I am now. I'm ready to get back into shape and feel better! Feel free to add me.

    Former Navy here...I did my 5 years on the USS George Washington and then separated. The awful food, manual labor, and forced PT kept me in relatively good shape while I was in - since I got out, I now have a sedentary office job, work in a shopping district with plenty of awesome places to eat, and an extra 72lbs to go with it :/

    I'm ready and motivated to get my Navy body back one day at a time!

    My brother did 13 years in the Marine corps. But you won't see him here :sad:
    He thinks that the 40 or so pounds he's gained is a good thing and is always bugging me about my wanting to lose weight. :noway: :grumble:

    I was in the Air Force. I served as a Chaplain from 1999 to 2005, and separated at O-3. I have been lazy for the better part of that time, and reached 300 lbs. 100 lbs. over my active duty weight. It is VERY depressing. I served at Shaw AFB, Pope AFB, and Travis AFB, as well as one deployment to Kuwait prior to getting out. I am now at 290, and not stopping until I get back below 200.

    Back in the day I completed 2 Ironman Triathlons, a few marathons, and was proud to be attached to a Special Forces Capable unit (Combat Control). It is embarrassing to see where I am now. I am 38, and want to be back in shape prior to 40.

    Let's do this!

    Navy Vet here. I'm still on IRR. Spent 6.5 years on active duty. I let myself go for a while, but now I'm actually lighter than I was anytime while I was on active duty :)
