edited September 20 in Introduce Yourself
Hello, I heard about this site from a friend, I am very excited to start using it. I am a Marine wife, and throughout the last deployment or two, I have put on about 40 pounds. My husband is about to leave for his 3rd deployment and I'll like to surprise him in 7 months when he gets home with having lost the weight. Having a support team where I live is hard, we just moved here so I don't really know anyone. I'm hoping to meet some motivational people through this site. Anyway nice to meet ya!
