Hi all! I'm Ashley, my husband is currently serving in the USAF, and we're based out in lovely Las Vegas for the time being. Just wanted to join a group to get ideas, tips, tricks, fun workouts, support, etc.

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 I'm Paula and currently living in Vilseck Germany I've tried losing weight before but wasn't really motivated. This time it's on and with the support of MFP members I'm sure I can do it!! Good luck everyone in their weight loss journeys!!!

Hi Paula,
I live in Vilseck as well!
It's nice to know there is someone close by!

Hello! I'm wife to a Army Reservist at the moment, who is working on his packet to go Active Officer. We currently live in the hills of North GA, but he drills in Decatur. I'm excited for him to go active, us to PCS, and the ability (and stability) to start a family. Glad to find this group!

Hi everyone!!! I am a Navy wife, but here is the thing I am ALSO in the Navy. I am a LS3, 24, just had a baby almost 8 months ago. Husband is going out for work ups all of the time. I am trying to lose the baby weight AND some. Please feel free to add me, I am on here everyday, and my diary is open.

I am Quinn, my husband is a Marine and we just celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary. We are stationed in Norfolk, Va and are about to go through deployment #4! We are wanting to try for kids when he gets back, so it's really important for me to get healthy! I have PCOS and that makes dieting a little discouraging since sometimes it can really hinder weight loss. So I am really trying to find some extra motivation.

We got here in May We'll be here 3 years because my husband is doing his b-billet before returning to a grunt unit.

My husband is in the Navy. We've been here for about a year and a half and we'll probably be here until 2015. Have you been to any of the gyms on base?

Yeah, I have been to one of the small gyms because it was the only one open at that time on the weekend or something? lol I can't remember why we went to that one. I've wanted to go swim laps at Q-80 though, but I DO NOT know my way around that base at all. lol

Hi my name is Michelle

My husband and I have been married since april of Last year. He was sworn into the army national guard in an smp program 2 years ago, and he just reenlisted to active duty and is currently on his way to BCT in Fort Benning. WIth BCT and AIT (88M) I probably wont be seeing him until May (which should be our first PCS) and I want to have a huge change to show him when he gets home. He is super supportive and went through his own weight struggles when we were in high school. I want him to be as proud of me as I am of him.

Hello Ladies! My name is Amanda and I am 21! My husband is in the Navy (surface) and we are currently stationed in Bremerton, WA and will be headed to San Diego in March. He has been in for 3 years and used to be a Nuke, but is now a GM. My husband is originally from PA and I am from MD. So far the Navy has taken us to SC, NY, CT, and WA. So we travel a lot.

I am really trying to lose weight. Between moving, not making/leaving behind friends, my parents having financial issues, and the stress of work/ school, I've gained WAY more than I wanted and I am sure I am the heaviest I've ever been in my life. I started this site a few months back and then lost motivation through bouts of depression. But, I am trying to re-kindle my motivation to work out again and eat right so I can look good in California

My hobbies include: photography, sheep herding with my dog, digital art, crafting, hiking, working on cars, going for rides on the motorcycle, cooking, and traveling.

Hey Everyone!

My name is Dominique and I am married to my Airman. We have been married for almost a year now. We are stationed in GRand Forks, North Dakota. Between moving 1200 miles away from home, starting school, living in a hotel for 4 months while waiting for a house (Im sure we can all relate), working at a restaurant, getting the Implanon birth control, and everything else in this crazy life.. I have managed to gain about 40 lbs if not more since last year. I am completely disgusted with myself. So I have started going to the gym with a fellow military wife as well as trying to eat a bit healthier, plus eat three meal a day rather than one or two.

I absolutely would LOVE some support as well as help. I have no idea what Im doing lol. I don't know how to really eat or workout to lose the weight I need to. I have started drinking 8 glasses of water a day if not more, and working out 30mins-1 hour after work. I know it will take time but I need to see results to keep myself motivated. Monday we are going to try the Three Day Military Diet, any of you ever try it??? Opinions??

Hi, I'm Elizabeth. I'm an army wife stationed at Ft Hood TX.

I'm Bonnie. Im 26. I have 4 amazing kids; Kota (6), Xavier (5), Jaemi (4), and Madi (3). My husband, Jason, and I have been together for 12 years, married almost 6. We are stationed at Hunter Army Air Field, Savannah GA.

I am looking to lose about 56 lbs in all... but going slow. Cause I like food and exercise is the enemy. Id like to make a few friends to support me. Cause I know myself well enough to know I cant do it alone... and my friends here dont share my struggle.

My husband is deployed and I would like to lose a good amount so when he comes back, we can be more active together and share that part of our lives as well.

Hi all,
I'm Kimberly! I am a Navy wife in Groton, CT. I just started using MFP this week. I have normally been an advocate for Weight Watchers but the last few months I have not been able to keep with the program. I've maintained but haven't been losing because I haven't been strict. My initial weight was 250 lbs when I graduated from college. I've struggled the last 12 years to get it off. Last year I finally lost 100 lbs total and have maintained between 145-150 for almost a year now. My goal is 15 more pounds and continue toning up.

I choose to use MFP because I have several friends using it, I like the accuracy that I use with calories rather than points, and it's a fresh take on my healthy journey. I'm also pretty active. I workout roughly 6 days a week for usually an hour or more. Additionally, I play volleyball once a week with a rec league. Looking forward to getting to know y'all.
Kimberly

Hi my name is Anna and I've been a Navy wife for 3 years.
