    Hi all. My name is Ashleigh and I am a Navy Wife. Been married for almost 8 years all of which were Navy years. Currently I live in Quantico, VA but I will be transferring back to Norfolk in the next 6-9 months. I have never been skinny, always been a fluffy girl, and I am looking to make a change knowing that deployments are in my near future and this time around I will be a mommy and I am going to need the energy to be a mommy/daddy for 8 months at a time. My goal is to be able to buy a bra at Victoria Secret. Never had one because I have never been small enough to fit into their bras.

    Hello! My name is Amanda. I am married to a Marine and we are stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC. We live off base about five minutes from Mainside. I am also a SATM of a very busy toddler. When I am not busy I like to go play paintball, go to the firing range, and/or work on our vehicles with my husband.I don't have many friends yet.. so we'll see how this goes.

    Hello! My name is Amanda. I am married to a Marine and we are stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC. We live off base about five minutes from Mainside. I am also a SATM of a very busy toddler. When I am not busy I like to go play paintball, go to the firing range, and/or work on our vehicles with my husband.I recently got serious about losing weight. All through high school and some of college I was about 135-145 pounds. After the year at college I gained way too much weight. By the time I had my son in 2010, I was about 180. I slowly got back down to 170.. but then stayed at that weight. My motivation was gone. So when we got orders to Lejeune, I was excited for a new place and change. I think I was mostly sick of others of asking if I was pregnant again (which I wasn't). I am now at 161, but still have some more too lose.I am hoping to lose some more before the birthday ball in November.

    Hi, ladies. My name is Sara and I'm married to a Marine. In the last 4 years, we've been through 3 (short) deployments and have had 2 kids. Unfortunately, I'm not one of the ones who loses weight when her husband is in Afghanistan. Still working on losing baby weight + stress weight. We're stationed near Baltimore and plan on staying in the area, even though we're getting ready to EAS!

    I know exactly how you feel.Man I just wish I could actually get a good workout in without having to worry about taking a 2 yr old with me or stop to help a 10 yr old with homework or change a diaper or feed the dog or make dinner. Argue with the hubby! I use to be a soldier and I was a runner. I was an athelete all through school most I ever wayed back then was 140 lbs when I was in the Army but even then I made tape. Now 3 years later I look in the mirror and wonder where and when did I allow myself to get so out of control. 5'2 180 lbs. But I'm done making excuses and I am making a way everyday to do some form of exercise it's been two weeks and I actually doing good and sticking to making healthy choices. Today wasn't such a great day but I'm not going to let one bad day hold me down like the past I'm going to go home and work out, eat a sensible dinner and tommorrow is a new day.

    Hello
    My name is Christa. I am an Army wife and mom of a wonderful daughter. We are stationed at Fort Bragg, NC. I am also an ER nurse. I recently found this site and decided to give it a try. My goal is to lose weight and be healthier. I am a great fun personality that sometimes gets hidden due to my outer shell. I am comfortable in my own skin to a point but I want to be able to not worry about being judged and to be able to shop with it being fun again.

    Army wife, of 10 years. Married to the most amazing well put together SSG. He has served 3 tours in Iraq and looking at another deployment early summer. I love being an army wife, but its not easy. Each deployment is like child birth, the first one you dont quite know what to expect then after first, you remember oh so well. How long a year is.. ect. well you know.. I have 20 reasons why I am fat. .. I want to have 100 reasons why I am thin in future. :) I am so proud of all the military wives, our military men and all those that serve in all ways. Oh yeah.. I live in Hawaii.

    Hi Ya'll

    I'm Carrieann I've been married to my husband for 3 years, we are currently stationed at Rose Barracks Germany.
    I have 2 children (Boys 2 and 7)

    I gained about 50 lbs when I got pregnant with my youngest and have had a hard time getting rid of it! To be honest with you I haven't really had the drive to loose it, but hopefully now things will be different! =)

    It'll be nice meeting other military wives who are trying to loose weight while taking care of their families, pcs'ing, and deployments. It's not easy but we can do ti!
