How about a "cheat week"? Haha!
Well....it's THAT time. I'm heading back to the good ole' USA. I'm soooooooo excited, but now is the time I'm really going to be tested. It's easy to lose weight when you're deployed, the chow hall food isn't great, and there is nothing to do except exercise. Now I'm going to be faced with delicious delicious delicious…

back again...such a yo-yo dieter
It's been months since I've used this site. I have a bad habit of losing the weight....then getting lazy and gaining it back. So here I am again...trying to drop the lbs. The delicious holiday desserts are not helping. I've been eating "buckeyes" all week. So yummy! So I worked out for the first time in a long time today,…

Avoiding the scale
So I'm back home from a recent deployment which I lost almost 20lbs during. My motivation to work-out and eat right sure did go down the drain when I stepped foot on American soil. American food is just sooo delicious! It's been 3 weeks and I probably have gained at least HALF of what took me 4 months to lose. :grumble:…

Boredom makes me hungry
So this sucks. I'm sitting here at work...nothing to do....want to either sleep...or eat. I'm not hungry, just bored. In fact, I already went over my calories for the day (unless I go to the gym tonight - really don't want to) from eating candy. I've drank 2 liters of water today...can't stand to drink anymore...played…

Artificial Sweeteners
I have a friend (health fanatic) who has been giving me some healthy-living diet advice. So, per her suggestion, I've been trying to wean myself off of artificial sweeteners. For the longest time I thought that it was ok that I drank an average of 5 DIET sodas a day. :laugh: It has now been almost 4 months since I've had a…

Dieting during deployments
A friend of mine showed me this site. I thought I'd give it a shot. I've been on a 1200 calorie diet for about 2 months now and have lost 16lbs. Now I'm working on losing the last 11 more to reach my goal. I'm currently in Iraq, so it hasn't been too hard to lose the lbs. So far, I've been able to avoid the delicious…
