ADJL 685 Posted June 14, 2013 You are too funny! So sorry to go off topic but how you holding up without the hubby? I take it he hasn't seen your progress right? I was just telling someone the other day that I've spent 4 of the past 5 years NOT seeing my husband due to deployments/training, etc...so I'm used to this...one of our favorite Army wife mottos "sexually deprived for your freedom..." He has not and will not see any progress pics until I see him at his mid-tour leave. It will have been 9 months since he left and 7 months since I was banded. I'm really working toward a total of 75 pounds lost. Ambitious, but I'm motivated. 7 n2win, Terry Poperszky, BandtoSleevechick and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marnimae 7 Posted June 15, 2013 Three weeks, heck w/ those staples in, I wouldn't even let him see me change. After the staples were out I felt better but still held off. Now it is back to normal. It should be what you are comfortable with, go with the flow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
