Keep that focus girl! It takes a lot to keep the home fires burning...a big hooah to you & your hubs for your dedication and support to our country. Love our Soldiers!
You are right about staying healthy, especially during stressful times....I worked out everyday that my husband was deployed. He came back extremely lean and I almost kept up with him. You can do the same.
I'm here if you need that special support!0 -
My fiance has been on a deployment since January, and he won't be back until December (we're hoping), so I can understand the stress!
This is a great community and there are tons of people out here to offer advice and support. Feel free to add me if you'd like.0 -
Hi, my name is Emily. I will totally add you as a buddy. This is a great spot to get buddies and share stories.0

You can do it! You can do it!
I just joined mfp 5 days ago and it has been great so far. Everyone is kind and supportive. I'm not in the same situation as you but know what's it like to be stressed all the time and turning to food. We have to listen to that inner voice--the one saying " I am great and can do great things! I am worth it!" Yes, you are.
Friend me if you'd like and best wishes!

I wanted first and foremost to say "Thank You" to you and your husband for your service to this country. I admire you guys for that. Second, I wanted to say that you can do it and good luck to you in your endeavors!0

Hi and welcome! I have a daughter who is going into the Air Force. I can sympathize with you right now! God bless our troops and the USA. Please feel free to add me as a friend as well. I'm fairly new here also, this going on my fourth week. You will do great with all of the support you will get on MFP. It is amazing how much support there is here0

What comfort to know that there is nowhere we can go that God can't see. Blessings to both of you.0

You can add me as I know what you are going through. My husband is ex-British Forces after serving 22 years and fought in the first Gulf War 19 years ago. I fully support all our brave servicemen and their families. As said before, keep busy and be strong x0

This is my 4th tour with my husband constantly being deployed it's easy to lose weight when they are gone because when they are home you get comfortable, and consume yourself with them. we see it all the time. i am not one of those women personally when my husband is home i maintain my workouts and my eating habits.
Check on post at the gym i am sure they have a workout group for woman who's spouses deployed.
You can do it.
I work full time, workout 6 days a week, have 2 kids, picking up a second job, handle ALL the maintenance and up keep at the house, housework, kids activites, and to add on top of that i start school next month. all without help=
you got this!! the hardest part is maintaining it when they are home. That's when most people fall off the wagon. Your husband will love the weight loss too. alot of the military wives (no offense) get talked about. I'm friends with the guys not so much the wives so i hear the other side of it. You would be suprised
Keep your head up stay busy and you will be just fine in all aspects.
It does get easier my husband and made it all these years because we say we are stronger than anything the military can throw at us. our division has the highest divorce rate because it's rapid deploying. we are the only married couple that we met 8 years ago that is still going strong so we must be doing something right.
afghanland sucks my husband rather be back in iraq.0 -
Hey
My husband used to be in the Army. So, you are more than welcome to add me if you want.
Just stay motivated and set a realistic goal. As you will loose the weight, the feeling of accomplishment will keep you going
Good luck0 -
Hi- I am new to MFP (1 week) and learning to navigate around this website. I know how it is to have a husband deployed(3 years ago). Remember to gives all your worries to God and he will take care of you. I will pray for your husband's safe return. Good luck on your weight loss venture. I am going to need it too (:0

Hello. God Bless your husband. I will be deploying in about two months so I have a slight idea of how stressful it is. I added you0

Hello, I am sitting in your shoes right now... My husband just left a week and a half ago... ugh!!! We have been through this many times, but each time seems like it gets harder... ANYWAYS>>> on to a happier note!! I am here for ya sister, I am challenging myself to be at 160lbs upon his return, so I have 12 months to kick it in gear, if you want I will be here for you, to encourage you, to listen when you need an ear, or for you to tell your frustrations to... we can do it together!!! GOOD LUCK either way!!
