  • I've lost 25 pounds since my husband left!

    I'll post some recent pictures soon! My starting weight was 184. My husband deployed in July, and I weighed in at 180 when he left. He doesn't know about my weight loss!! I have been walking/jogging my daughter to school, doing 1 hour of cardio 3 times a week, and a weight lifting class 3 times a week at the gym. My weight had stalled at 160 for a month. Then my son got sick, and I haven't been to the gym since Friday. Wouldn't you know, I lost 5 pounds in those 5 days that I haven't been to the gym! I don't understand why, but I'll take it!!

    Today, I weighed in at 155, and in 6 weeks, my husband comes home. My ultimate goal is 130, but my goal for his homecoming is 140. He has never seen me at 140 pounds. I think I can lose 15 pounds in 6 weeks!

                Yup.. He'll be sooooo surprised..

                You might go out and buy a pretty little nighty for his second night home.. Let him have the first night to get used to the new you and spend some time with his child.. Then the second night... Send the kid to Grandma and have some fun with your man...

                  Oh, your goal just made me smile, he is going to be so surprised. Not just about looks. Taking care of yourself gives him and the baby a much healthier you and just shows so much love. I agree, a vicky secrets trip will be in order

                        He doesn't come back until Nov. 7th. I'm trying to get down to 140 when he returns. I got exactly 5 weeks to lose 12 pounds! Thanks for asking. I will post our reunion pictures so you can see the look on his face. I can't wait!!
