in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I'm curious to know how many other spouses are dealing with a deployment right now. My husband and I are - thankfully coming to an end of this deployment. I am a vegan, but would appreciate ANY and ALL support and advice from anyone in the military. My husband is a Medic in the Army. I would love more military and/or spouses as friends. :)

    Nearing the end of a deployment myself! Husbands been overseas for several months. Mostly vegetarian, but I eat fish every now and then. Only been a military spouse for about a year and I still don't know anything, but feel free to add me!

    I'm an Army brat. My dad retired from the Army and I vowed never to date anyone in the military. As luck would have it, I fell in love with my high school sweetheart and he joined... Agh... never say never... ;)

    I have been a military spouse for 18 out of the 26 years we have been married. Army wife, proud of it. God knows it hasnt been the easiest but it's an interesting way of life. My trouble? I eat when I am happy so I lose weight when he is deployed and then eat my self to 20 lbs of overweight when he is home. :embarassed: New to MFP but so far it's doing the trick.

    Hi. I am a Navy wife AND I am also in the Navy. I have been a navy brat all of my life, wasn't looking into marrying a navy guy, it just happend. I am going through work ups with my husband, most things don't come to me as surprise anymore and I have tons of connections. I have just learned to roll with the tide and not get stressed out about it. ANYONE can add me, I am losing baby weight plus some. I eat more when I am sad and alone, so him leaving all of the time is hard on me. Go figure. Well I have an open diary and willing to give support and advice to anyone. Hope to hear from ya'll soon!

    My husband is currently deployed and has been for I think about 7 months now! 2 more months left! I cannot wait for it to be over! It has been an emotional roller coaster but I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to loose the weight since I just had out son right before he left. It sucks he only saw our son for two weeks and then had to leave :( Here for support if anyone wants to add me ! :)

    my partner was in the Marine Corps for 6 years, we now live in Canada with 3 children (thats where my weight came in fast). Not so much dealing with deployment as much, but we have been moving around, getting situated, dealing with ptsd, & other major changes etc...both of our weight(s) fluxuate rapidly on & off for the past few months. Its crazy lifestyle; I was once 125, 152 after my first born, up 181 after my second born, down 135, up 185 after my third, almost hit 200's, now Im sitting in the 170's----feel free to add me
