My husband is full-time guard. He'll be deploying next year, too. We have a 15 yr old, 3 yr old and a 2 month old. :)

My sugar is out of control. I was over my "limit" before breakfast was even over. I always thought that the sugars from fruit would be better than sugars from candy bars. Like the complex/simple carbs?

Hi there! I love the way you're thinking - about the future instead of the past attempts. Good luck on your journey. You can do this!!

I have been working out at home lately, but I used to love working out in the gym. Being in the gym environment motivates me to work harder. Plus, I don't want to wimp out in front of people, lol.

I'm only in week 2 but for the first week I was weighing myself every day. At first I felt a little "high" when I'd get on the scale and the number would be lower than the day before. But then one day the number was higher than the day before...by 1/2 of a pound. I had to really concentrate on the fact that my overall…

I'm right there with you! Will send a friend request for some extra motivation!

I lost 7lbs the first week.

I just made this one the other day. My first time to ever make a cheesecake and it was super easy. I thought it was super yummy, too! Only 3g of fat per serving. http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/double-layer-pumpkin-cheesecake-53129.aspx
