Its hard bc of the way people are portrayed and how people assume things. Like for examples models are "skinny" and are always shown "skinny" so people around you are going to assume that you just want to be "skinny" instead of healthy and fit. Bc its not something that we see often however I think it should be shown and pointed out more. And congrats on losing and becoming healthy and fit!! Just smile to others and tell them " hey i'm happy to be healthy and fit" |

Well welcome back to CC. I hope you find stuff on here that is helpful to your weight loss journey while you are overseas. My husband just got back from sandland, and naturally people lose weight out there because of the heat, overworking and separation issues. Its when they come back where they gain it all bc there are no luxuries out there as there is in the US. Or wherever. Good luck on losing weight and getting healthy the right way! |

Lol. My self image/esteem about my self is very good. And no I don't see it solely as a support thing although hey that would be good but I lost all this through during a deployment and by myself so no I don't need him to help me if that was one of the questions. However his buying junk food doesnt make things easier. But who care he's just my SO and according to some statements I should just not worry about his health? Every male in his family has died young. I am sincerely concerned about his future health. I am sorry I truly think there shouldn't be an excuse to be a statistic unless there is medical conditions causing it and in this case there isn't .And yes puertorican style rice and pork isnt always good for you ;-) However I do have portion control. |

no I don't and no i am not the only shopper. If I do go shopping with him its bashing towards me why are you getting this lets get this and you know what it may seem that its me and my frustration and anger but it isn't . I know its a waste of time for me to bash towards him and his habits, I don't do that. I only am venting here. I am not trying to be his mother just give my input to him. I'll say I don't like that (something unhealthy) and attempt to get the healthy alt and its a child reaction on his part. So in the end I am not trying to be his mother or "change" HIM bc I let him get what he wants and I'll get what i want cook and consume. Now i don't always eat healthy their are some nights I want to eat my arroz con gandules y pernil. |

True I didn't but I guess I should have assumed that everyone thought I was just a you know what to my husband which isn't the case. Yes the deployment transitions could contribute to it but its been about the same before it too. I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there who would like to see their SO be healthy along with you. In a close family I don't see lifestyle changes just for one person I see it as everyone changing. Not just to "look better" I'm not even doing that for me, But for health reasons. To teach our kids better eating habits. To prevent the most preventable epidemic in the US. Idk , add more years to our lives instead of subtract. All I wanted to know was if anyone out there cared about have their SO working out or supporting good habits or vice versa. Next post will be detailed ;-) |

I am only ragging on here to vent. And I do ask and tell him calmly and I have actually have ended conversations he has when it comes to his whining. This whole post was to vent and see if I was the only one having issues when it comes to trying to talk SO others into getting into good lifestyle changes. Is all. But I guess it was a sensitive issue to others? lol |

Yea they kind of do. They will give them dual PT. But I think working out is would be amazing if it accompanied better eating habits. Also my husbands unit is so unorganized. Eventually the army will chapter out people who are failing PT Tests and can't get their act together after several attempts. Its how my BIL got chaptered out after failing PT tests in AIT. And @pgeorgian if I am cooking the food and its amazing and my husbands going to complain about it bc its a healthier version ,then I think he and any other person can get over me ragging on his horrible eating habits. |

I agree. I guess I am the one who appreciates the kick in butt to get in High gear, and my husband is the same, typically. Maybe its the deployment he just came home from that makes him want to be more laid back but I see that continuing in habits like this can only progress into far worse situations. We have two young girls and I don't want one of the most preventable issues to take over.Its so sad that obesity is the most preventable issue in the US and yet people do nothing sometimes. Thats just giving in and I love him enough to worry now about his health not just for him but our family. |

No I don't think he has enough, after all I am the one married to him. He is the one who comes to me complaining about his weight and does nothing. I don't insult him I ask him for changes politely. Like switching to whole grains. He hates it and whines about it. He drinks soda I ask him if he can try cutting it back so he can do better in a PT test. Or meet req. tape. He whines and complains about changes and doesnt do it. Then when it comes to test time and he fails I hear the crappy end of it. And of course I dont say hey I told you so but I listen to him. And yes here I am ranting about it, bc I am about to tell him to stfu when it comes to his whining , when anything I say is out the other ear. Or maybe I should say " Hey its ok baby heres a doctor pepper and I already got the Call of Duty turned on for you. Better Luck next time at that MANDATORY FITNESS TEST. "! |

I do accept him as he is. Its just he isn't passing PT tests sometimes, and the army requires him to be 184 lbs and I have been leading as an example the whole time we have been married so far, lol |

Sorry to disappoint everyone. I am actually new this part of the forums. I'll make sure I come in every so often to liven things up, besides this post,lol. Yea I do need for him to work out with me lol. Not to sound mean but he's fat. Well according to cc and other calculators he would be "Class 1 obese" and yes he is active duty army lol. ( I know makes no sense.) He is 218 5'11. He has no medical concerns what so ever. But I would like him to be healthier fat % wise. |

I'll so do this. I had lost a bunch of weight two years ago and then gained some back along with being hospitalized and on steroids :-( I've been diet and exercising again for a couple months lost about 22lbs and then gained three when family visited for two weeks. Trying to get back into it but its hard now that school is out and the hubby is still deployed.

Have you had any kids or pregnancies? If you have then that could be a reason as to why your hips are a bit bigger. They get wider to prepare for childbirth. Also it could be because your body fat percentage needs to drop more to show weight loss in that area too. GL! |

You have done an amazing job so far! Congrats! However your calories are low, and yes i know you know this...But having a low calorie intake can and is probably what is hindering your weight loss goal. Increase it, its probably bc you are lacking certain nutrients to help aid your weight loss. Also cardio alone doesnt always work try incorporating some total body strength training. Muscle burns fat! Good luck! |

The side effects of allergy medications keep some people from using them. Natural remedies can be a great alternative, but some are more effective than others.
