wow...with the move and everything, I totally forgot about this thread. I'm SO sorry! If anyone wants to get together and be workout buddies, or just get out of the house, please pm me. My husband just deployed last week, so I've got a renewed resolve to lose the weight before he gets home. It's a short deployment, so I…

My guess would be that not a lot of people know about it.

After reading through all of the posts and every page, one thing I haven't seen anyone mention yet is the lack of guilt. I love to knit, and I know this makes me an old granny in a 28 yr old's body, but oh well. I can knit for hours on end, and it makes me happy. But it makes me SO MUCH MORE happy on days when I've done a…

I've made it to level 2 before I had to stop to move across the country. The end of the level definitely is easier than when you're first starting it. I've started doing Ripped in 30 and I find it MUCH easier than 30DS. I'd love to say that it's because 30DS prepped me, but it didn't really. The moves are different, and…

Oh my gosh! I saw that! What's weird is that it seemed to work. Nothing like frying yourself in the sun for beauty...

The only advice I can give is to log each part of your meals separately to see what's a lot of cals and what isn't. Learn what a lot of cals is. 100 cals for a tortilla is a lot. Label your foods, don't quick add. It takes effort. It's not a magic formula. If you can't bring your cals down, then you need to work out more.…

My husband and I had a similar issue when he deployed last time. The only difference is that he worked the night shift, so we were online the same time...and then I quickly found that my entire day revolved around him. Nothing was done before he went to bed, and then I had only a few hours to do everything I needed to do…

I've added you as a friend. We should get together some time. I love on post. Sorry it took me so long to get to this thread again, I fell off the bandwagon when I found out my husband was deploying sooner than anticipated.

I'm here! I'm trying to get my kids registered with CYSS so I can use the daycare at Jensen and take the morning Yoga/Zumba classes. I live on post.

Stretch more! I used to hate stretching because it felt so pointless. Now, on the other hand... I know it means I wasn't doing something right. I love stretching!! A lot of people have said their calves are especially sore, and I know that she doesn't do a lot of calf stretches....and not enough stretching in general. My…

Just bring the top of a tube sock with you to roll your hair around (same color as your hair if you can find it) and you should be fine. I went in the AF with my hair down to my butt, and I was fine. You'l make friends with the other girls and can help each other catch the stray locks. However, if you don't want to bother…

SO glad I found this!! My husband and I started this together on Saturday, but we skipped yesterday because I've been doing a whole heck of a lot of couch sitting and could barely move. Also because he's in the Army and Friday's PT was all about going until muscle failure (he did 148 push ups before he couldn't do…

Leave him. Kick him out. Whatever. But get out of this relationship. I've had some pretty awful relationships, and it's so easy to miss the signs that something is wrong when you're in the relationship. You usually don't see them until you're out of it, and then you wonder what the heck was wrong with your head that you…

Your posts are inspiring! My sister has done p90X and I was thinking about it, but the cost is a bit too much for the wallet to bear right now. Your posts are, however, keeping me motivated to keep doing JM30DS and even more motivated to get my gym's childcare packet finished so I can use their daycare while I do yoga.

Oh my gosh! I didn't know you're there! Awesome!!

I'm actually kind of inspired by all the other folks who aren't doing so hot. I have done okay, but I know I can do better. I got a bad case of the lazies this week and haven't logged as much work out time as I know I could have done. We're low on groceries, so I'll be heading to the market today to fill in the holes for…

I'm Shianan (the i is sort of silent, but if you want to pronounce it right, pretend you're Sean Connery). I'm currently in Iowa, but will be moving to Washington state at the tail end of the challenge, and my army DH will be coming home. Lots of readjustments, so for me, not only will this be a weight loss challenge, but…

Think about things that you want to do for you, and then think about how your weight affects that. Ex: I'd like to some day have a horse and be able to go riding. I can't do that now because 1) I don't know how and 2) My muscles are NO WHERE NEAR ready to be able to handle it. I want to lose weight and tone so that I can…

I agree with the others. Do this MFP thing and when the weight starts coming off and you gain confidence, and you WILL gain confidence, he'll take notice. Then you can tell him what you've been doing. Chances are too, he'll ask why you've been cooking differently before he'll notice any weight loss in you. There are TONS…

Standard_Girl I love your ticker!! That's hilarious!

When I stepped on the scale and saw that I had gotten back up to 150. My heaviest was 163 right after I had my daughter (like about a week after, and she's 2.5 now. I never really lost that weight). I used to be a size 5/6 and could fit into and easily shop from the Junior dept which runs slimmer in the hips and thighs.…

You mean it doesn't rain all the time?! :laugh: :bigsmile:

Thank you everyone. I think I am going to call my doc Monday morning and set up a time to see her. I live in an area with a lot of runners, and I'm so envious of them because they can do it and I can't. If I don't have anything stopping me from becoming a runner, I'll start on those exercises that were mentioned. I'm…

I did. I went to Scheels. It's the only local running/fitness/outdoor sports store that I know of around here. They're a pair of ASICS.

DH is currently in Baumholder, Germany. The kids and I are in Iowa. (Loooooooooooooooong story) We have orders to Ft. Lewis and will be there early July!! I can't wait. I've always wanted to go there. We're looking at a rental house in Lacey/Olympia.

That is amazing!! I'm so proud of you for sticking to your guns and getting healthier! Now excuse me....I'm going to go grab that bottle of water I put down two hours ago. :drinker:

This. I'm former Air Force as well and separated for the same reason. I'm married to active duty Army., and my brother is active duty Army as well. They're closing down posts and units over in Germany right now because of the reduction. It will be much harder to get in. Officers are always needed. As far as PT goes, jump…
