oh I'm with ya! lol It is WAY easier for me to stick to a healthy, clean eating when the hubs is away. He is stick thin and can eat whatever he wants.. lol so sometimes he doesn't understand that eating out a few times a week doesn't work for me. :p

Yeah, you're totally right. It's just embarrassing I guess to see in numbers how bad things have gotten. lol But it's better for me to be honest about it. It'll hold me accountable.

During this challenge I really want to get into the health and fitness mindset. I want to abandon my "need" for Fast Food. I really just want to get set up for a healthy road to weight loss! :)

I'm trying to be more consistent about working out and getting a good workout in. Also cleaning up my eating and staying well hydrated.

I'm starting the challenge at 289 pounds. :(

Hello, everyone :) My name is Quinn. I have been married for 3 years. My husband is an active duty Marine and has been in almost 5 years. I have tried losing weight before with no motivation so I really fall away and give up. My highest weight was 295 pounds. I lost 13 pounds a few months ago, but took a step away from MFP…

This is so true! We don't acknowledge our addictions as sinful. It wasn't until I started to study the bible, was baptized (a month ago), and became a disciple that I really had the realization that my addiction to food was, to an extent, out of my control- but it is not out of God's. Through prayer and meditation, I have…

Yeah, I have been to one of the small gyms because it was the only one open at that time on the weekend or something? lol I can't remember why we went to that one. I've wanted to go swim laps at Q-80 though, but I DO NOT know my way around that base at all. lol

We got here in May :) We'll be here 3 years because my husband is doing his b-billet before returning to a grunt unit.

I'm also back after being away! The worst part is knowing I gained like 10 pounds since I stepped away. I'm so sick of giving up.. So hopefully we can stick to it together!

I hit the gym early today since they'll be closed this evening and all day tomorrow. But I will probably take it relatively easy tomorrow since I haven't had a rest day. My husband and I might go for a walk since it's not really Christmas weather here. lol But we aren't having a crazy Christmas dinner or anything.

I am Quinn, my husband is a Marine and we just celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary. We are stationed in Norfolk, Va and are about to go through deployment #4! We are wanting to try for kids when he gets back, so it's really important for me to get healthy! I have PCOS and that makes dieting a little discouraging…

We're stationed at Camp Allen in Norfolk, Va.

my husband is a Marine :)

I live in Norfolk and use the Planet Fitness gym on Little Creek :)

I need a new gym bag! lol but for now mine has headphones, small towel, water bottle, lock, gym membership card, hair ties and headbands, a small pouch with tampons, and eye protection for tanning and red light therapy. I think that's all. lol

yay! figured it out! hahaha :)

dang! lol I should have asked sooner. lol ohhh well. It'll start moving on its own soon :) haha

I couldn't figure out how! bahaha but I was like ehhhhh, oh well.

done :)

lol i think I'll try this with a modified plank first. hahaha

is there a mini workout for today?

its like 2 or 3 sizes less I think. I can't remember for sure. haha

I'm reading the third 50 Shades book :) I read the others in a day each. lol but I'm trying to savor this one. haha then it's on to a Jodi Picoult book, probably. I have like 5 by her on my bookshelf that i've been meaning to read.

i LOVE Sarah Dessen! and Just Listen is one of my favorite books! ahh! hahaha

yeah, it totally helps to have people who know where i'm coming from. but I appreciate help from people from all walks of life! I will definitely add you :)

yeah, I don't plan to give up this time. I NEEEED this weight loss. haha we're at a teeny tiny itty bitty base that pretty much no one has heard of in Virginia (literally, the base is like a block long lol) so the gym resources aren't amazing. But i have a gym membership in town and do a lot from home already :) I'm very…

I have cheat meals, although I don't overindulge. I just don't count calories as closely or have dessert after a meal.

will do as soon as possible :) I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

You have a really cute smile! :)
