    Hi my name is Georgie, 23yr old SAHM of 2 ages 2.5 and almost 4. My husband just joined the Army, hasn't even gone to basic yet, but I want to start getting involved with other military spouses to help learn more about how my life is going to change. Add me if you'd like to :)

    Hi my name is Katie. I turn 24 tomorrow and August 2nd is my 4th wedding anniversary. My hubby is in the Army and is currently stationed in Japan on an unaccompanied tour. Our son wasn't approved for travel so we are living with my parents in WA state just North of Ft. Lewis. I had a breast reduction back in April and was able to get down to 222lbs but with being lazy waiting to be able to workout again and not always eating great I am now back up to 232lbs. My goal is to get down to 150lbs before the hubby comes back the end of 2013.

    Hi, I'm Amy. My husband is stationed at Ft Riley, but thankfully we live about 30 minutes away. We have two kids and I am still trying to get rid of the gains from my youngest (who is 12). I am a full time student and an assistant Girl Scout leader. I would love to make some new friends on here; it helps on those days when I am not motivated to "do it on my own". I got a treadmill about a week ago so most of my workouts are jogging, intervals, and inclines right now. I may add in some videos after school starts and the tv becomes available again. My toughest challenge is the eating habits. I really don't like most veggies and I love carbs (as in would eat nothing but them all day if I could). Any tips are appreciated!!

    Hi! My name is Heather, and my husband is in the Navy. We are currently stationed in Bremerton, WA. He is leaving soon on an 8-month deployment, so I'm kicking it into high gear trying to get in shape before he gets back!

    I'm 29 years old, have a 2-year-old daughter who keeps me on my toes, and I am also starting online college classes this fall. I'm finally pursuing my dream of having a bachelor's degree in natural resources.

    I love eating and hate working out, so this is going to be a fight every single day! LOL

    Anyway, feel free to add me if you like. My friends motivate me!

    Hi, My name is Linda, my husband is in the Marine Corps. We are currently stationed in Pensacola, Florida. He has been in for over 24 yrs.

    I am 44, have 5 children ages 11 to 22. I work in Real Estate.

    I started my fitness pal a few weeks ago and it is hard, needless to say. I would love to meet some other wives out there trying to lose the weight and get fit. I need to lose around 40-50 pounds. I look forward to meeting new people going through the same day to day challenges.

    I'm Sherri. My husband is in the Army stationed at Ft Wainwright, AK.
    And I have a serious problem with eating pretty much anything with sugar in it.
    We have 2 kids, and I want to get rid of this "mommy body" and start looking hot again before we end up having another baby destroy my body, haha

    Hi! My name is Liz! I'm 22 and my husband and I are currently stationed at Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota (although he is presently deployed). He left for the Air Force BMT last May, and we got married the March before that (and we also only met about 6 months before that). I got to see him at graduation for three days last July, and then not again until December. I struggled with quitting smoking that whole time, but now I've been a non smoker since December (I think I've smoked... 4 cigarettes since then?). Of course I've struggled with my weight as a result of quitting. I also am a stress eater and I'm sure everyone can relate to the stress of being a military wife. It certainly doesn't help that my husband can literally shove anything in his mouth and not gain anything (definitely bitter about that). So! While he's deployed I'm determined to slim down and make some lasting life changes so that when he comes back we can both live fuller healthier lives. Looking forward to getting to know you ladies!

    Hi,
    I'm shelby and I'm a 28 y/o Army wife. We are stationed at Ft. Campbell, KY. We just had our first baby, a girl july 31st so I'm trying to lose the pregnancy weight and then some. I had lost 50 lbs before getting pregnant but wasn't quite at my goal then. I gained that 50 back in my pregnancy and am now down 32. I'd like to lose another 50 or so.

    Hello all! I am a 29 year old Air Force wife. My husband and I will be married for 5 years this month! We have two little boys, 4 and 2. We are currently stationed at Langley AFB in Virginia but my husband resigns his contract in Nov so we are hoping for orders! I am fairly new to MFP, joined late last year but only really started my journey 4 months ago. I hope to be able to look to this group for support because we are a very unique group and we go through situations no civilian could ever understand! Please feel free to add me as a friend so we can keep tabs on each other and support each other! Good luck in your weight loss endeavors!
