I was wondering if anyone's Husband or Boyfriend are going to be deploying soon or already are deployed and your trying to lose weight while they are gone ??? My Finace is leaving end of April and will be gone for about 7 months and during that time i really want to lose weight and would love to start a support group for people who are dealing with being away from their loved one and trying to focus on losing weight and we can give each other support and stay positive during these hard times... If you interested please let me know so i can start a blog

    I am not what you're looking for, but I just wanted to say WOW! This is a great idea. I can't even begin to imagine how I would cope with my husband being away for a couple days let alone months and years. Please know that I am very thankful for the sacrifice that both your and your Fiance is making for our country.

    My husband was in the Navy before we met. He often thinks about going back. I would never stop him, but I'm glad I have him with me.

    THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

    Me! My boyfriend has been in Afghanistan since July, but will be home for a few weeks on the 13th. Then he has to go back until the end of June. The next 4 months are going to be really hard for me, and I really want to lose about 15 pounds or so before he comes back. Then were supposed to be going to Punta Cana so I am DETERMINED to be bikini ready. I need all the support I can get! A blog would be wonderful...:)

    I am a Military Mom of three, but currently only have one left serving. No body currently deployed or being deployed, but there is a web site that you might be interested in www.spousebuzz.com and I know that there is currently one on there that is dieting while her husband is deployed. She weighs in and checks in on that site weekly...you should check it out. Best of luck with your goal and thank your fiance for his service:flowerforyou:

    Hello USMCwifeb15


    I think even having your hubby gone for 7 weeks is still really hard. 10 pounds is a great goal I really want to lose that much by March but i've set my self mini goals for each month to lose about 5 lbs so i don't get upset when i don't see the scale moving fast enough... If you ladies like we all can post our current weight, goal weight for when our men are back home, and give each other recipes, Fitness tips, and of course support.. :)
