OK, Jenny, lots of running and jogging. Can you say "Cardio" ?

Jenny,
I was the exact same weight before I shipped. When I got out of PI I was an amazing 140 lbs.
Same height as you too.
After three kids and no PTing, I am still under 150!
You can do it and trust me, your DI's will not let you be overweight.
Keep up the workout routine, whatever works for you.
AND STAND WHEN YOU ARE AT THE COMPUTER...You won't want to stay online for a long time!!

Woman,
You can do anything, ANYTHING. Like Collen said, your DI's will not let you go over in weight. Should that happen, you could be placed in CAS Squad for whatever length of time it took to lose the pound or two to get back into regulations. But the most important thing is to earn the title: United State Marine.
ARE YOU WILLING TO GO TO ANY LENGTH?
You've got the support of two WM's right here.
DO IT!

Be smart with the workouts. Pain may be weakness leaving the body, but pain is also tellin ya something. Learning to listen to your body will become your finest asset. Be in it for the long-term, not the short-term. If your body feels "hurt-good" you'll know the difference from "hurt-bad." Fast weight lose is just fast weight gain waiting to happen. Do it the right way the first time and it will cut down the percentage rate of returning to redo the exercise over again.
Think I remember my old Senior Drill Instructor, SSGT. Price saying something along those lines...
JUMP
Go Ahead.
JUMP
Go on, JUMP
Jump into the pool of life.
He who learns to swim, lives.
He who drowns, well - better luck next life.

Thanks all! Without going into the details, I just want to say that you've just rebuilt my faith in the goodness of people. THANK YOU for being there when the people I should be closest to try to drag me down. Motivation comes from within, but sometimes we need a nod that tells us we are doing the right thing.
Update! Jake lost 2 lbs as of right now, just from nixing the soda and cutting some fat. I'm not going to weigh myself for another week though. Expect big results next Monday! I'm on a mission.
*high five* THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU AGAIN!

Being a winner is good. (In fact, it's the best.) But in the end, being a winner or a loser doesn't matter. As far as I'm concerned, it's okay to be a loser, just as long as your not a quiter! People lose from time to time. Sometimes that loss comes with dire consiquences. But as long as you gave it your all and never gave up, no one in their right mind will judge you. Sure, winning is better than losing, but is losing better than quiting? I think not.

Alexander,
I agree with your post, EXCEPT, I don't like the term "loser" in the context in which you used it.
Olympic records are set because the achiever tried and failed to attain the next increment.
If he set a new world's record at x, is he a loser because he failed at x+1?
We can't all be world record holders, and sometimes we give up, because that goal seems impossible to achieve.
The journey of a million miles begins one step at a time. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
A more reachable and attainable goal, on a daily basis, is to surpass your personal best.
Remember to take it one bite at a time, otherwise you may get integestion. If you did 14 yesterday, today's goal is 15. Don't try for 18, because 19 tomorrow will be a *****.
One bite, one forward step at a time.
Trying to exceed your personal level of perfection does not make you a loser. Only a quitter is a loser.
A marathon runner who crosses the finish line four hours after the winner and the crowds have gone home is not a loser. He has established a new goal for himself. Next time, to finish ahead of at least one other runner. (and I'll bet he does it.)
Don't you agree?

Know what's better than winning?
NOTHING.
No losers, just winners.
Yesterday I ran 5 miles on the trend mill, today I did 5.25 miles. Amazing, since I was told I would never run again after being struck by a drunk driver two years ago. Doctor had no ideal who he was talking too. OOOH RAH!
"Trust in God
Believe in Yourself
Push beyond your limits,
push, really push, now push,
Now push harder!
Never give up,
Never Stop,
Never."

Good job JChristin! That's an amazing accomplishment! I had no doubts that Marines are the best, but reading that just confirmed it even more. Wow....

Hey..FATSO
Just listening to how you express yourself...I predict you will never become a Boot....once you constantly state, you can't do it...YOU WON'T...as you are programing your brain to fail...it's subliminal programing...you have low self esteem and no self confidence...do yourself a favor and try to join an ARMY of one...this way, your "seat on the bus" will be taken by a far better feather/merchant...let the ARMY of one...see your fat-ass....no loss to the Government!!! :chinese: LtG
