I am at my heaviest after having my son and my dad passing ( you can read about my journey and past journey here :)http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/jenny95662) We are on shore duty now but he just re- enlisted and he will be going back to sea duty this year. I want to get healthy for my family and so that when he deploys I can have a chance at getting to my goal weight lol

    Hi everyone! I am married to a Navy Chief. We have been married for 16 years and started out as high school sweethearts. We have three kids, 14,11 and 10.
    My husband recently left for another deployment to Afghanistan. I am working on eating healthy, exercise and in general changing our lifestyle while he is deployed. I am hoping to wear a dress I have in my closet that he loves at his homecoming in about a year.
    I started this change for myself, but slowly my kids have adapted to the new lifestyle change. My 11 year old daughter was shopping with me last night and asked for a sports bra and some exercise clothes and told me she wanted to exercise with me. Little by little changes are being made.....without me making them jump on board.....they are starting to follow my lead. So that is my goal, to lose my weight while my husband is deployed, have a more active lifestyle with my kids (and husband when he returns), make better food choices, and just be a more healthy wife and mother.

    Hi! I've been on MFP for about a year now and just started poking around the groups today...I'm not a big poster to the boards, but I would love to join this group as we all have so much in common outside of our fitness goals! My husband is a pilot in the Navy and currently deployed (halfway thru as of 3/1!!). I have six year old twin boys, and my workouts of choice are P90x/P90X2/trail running...the latter on hold until deployment ends! I look forward to getting to know some more military spouses:-)

    Cheers!
    NWTM

    ETA: DH has been in 15 years, we've been together for 20 years and married 13 years. So far, 10 moves under my belt...oh, that crazy Uncle Sam! ;)

    Hi. My name is Natalie and Im a Navy Wife. We are stationed in Mayport. Im hoping to lose about 60 pounds (Ive lost 40 so far). I was doing really well losing weight but the holidays came and so did the pounds. :/ Ive gained about 15+ pounds since Thanksgiving. I tried to get back on track at the beginning of the year but my mind wasnt in the right place. Today I weighed in at 231 and I was quite upset. Ive gained almost 10 pounds in the past two weeks (my hubby has been underway and Ive been a little depressed because we just learned his deployment was moved up two months...leaving in June instead of August - I also realized that after June I wont have many friends...most of my friends are moving this summer)!! AHH!! So, Im getting back on track today starting with drinking lots of water and getting back in the gym. I used Sparkpeople to help me lost weight last year but I thought I would give MFP a try this time. I hope it works to keep me motivated!

    Hi! My name is Vickey. My hausband is in the Army. We are here in Fort Knox, KY. We have a 13 yr daughter and have been married for 15yrs. I gained a lot of weight while struggling w/ my thyroids ( they thought it was cancer ). So, I dealt w/ that for 6 yrs and finally had them removed a couple of yrs ago but have since been dealing w/ other health issues. I've kinda been in my own little shell for a while trying to cope w/ it all. Anyway I am trying to get back out there and lose some weight now that I finally have a little bit of energy and hopefully make some friends too!
