Hi everyone! I'm a military wife (army) and mother. We are currently stationed in Fort Bragg, but will soon be moving to Fort Bliss. I run my own business from home and sometimes have a hard time making time for exercise. This needs to to change. I'm trying Zumba out starting today! Wish me luck!

Hey
I'm samara. We are in South Korea, and I think I'm the only one who hates army wife life. To the point I have a count down on my phone till he can leave the army and I can chose where we live lol. First time in my life I'm not working and stuck somewhere I don't want to be, this brought on weight gain - bc really who wants to look good to watch Netflix?
No I'm not over weight but there's always that point when you start gaining and you can ignore it or stop it in it's tracks.
I have a new puppy who thinks work out time is play time.
I just got my body rev in the mail started yesterday - love JM! I also add a random work out DVD on top of the rev and try to go to the gym when my guy gets off work.
We have a vacation back state side in a month (well maybe still waiting for it to be approved) and hoping to see a flat stomach by then.
I'm always looking for people to challenge myself with or exchange work put tips.
Nice to meet you ladies

I commented awhile back with my intro, but I've recently moved AGAIN! Gotta love military life

Again my husband is in the Navy as a GM.
I am almost 22 years old.
I have a deaf Australian Cattle Dog named Pearl.
I love photography, hiking, art/crafts, cooking, traveling, swimming, dog sports, working on cars, trucks, and bikes as well as driving/riding them, and I absolutely love horseback riding (14+years doing equine sports).

Instead of living in WA, we are now in beautiful San Diego, CA! We're out in East County though!

Hi everyone!

I'm Rachel, a stay-at-home wife, hopefully a stay-at-home mom soon! My husband is Army and we're in Aurora at BAFB.

I was pretty much on track with my weight loss until I started babysitting for an EFMP household t wo months ago... Lol I practically live here. Long story short, I started snacking on their sugar and preservative filled food and neglecting my horseback riding schedule, instead of taking care of myself FIRST.

Had an appointment at the HAWC with the BodPod earlier this week and found out I regained all of the weight, in addition to replacing some hard won muscle with fat, putting my BMI at 37%.......... >_<

I'm keeping my own food in their fridge now and making a point of working with my horse every day, but with how fast I deteriorated in a two month period, and that my crazy hubby thinks I look fine, I figured posting here would be the best way to keep me on track! And motivated! My horse trainer does her best by reminding me I can't jump my horse until I lose at least 30 lbs, but extra help never hurt anyone.

Please feel free to add me!

Hi Everyone.
My name is Ashley Denny and I'm Army Guard Infantry Wife station in Colorado. I've been married to my husband for 2 years and we have a son who was born in Honolulu, HI. My husband was first station in Hawaii for four years and deployed once. I've know him for 6 moths and I knew was the one for me. I moved out of Colorado to Hawaii to get married and start a family and I love being a Army Wife. When I met my husband I weighed 125 lbs and after having my son i weighed 190 lbs. I had really bad cravings for ice cream and taco bell and grapes.lol. The first month I lost 40lbs from breastfeeding and I got excited because the weight was coming off. Well, the next month I lost all my breast milk and it made it very difficult to losing this mama baby fat. I did whatever it took to lose it. My brother was getting married soon and I didn't wanna be the fat sister in the pictures. When I came out for the wedding it took me 4 hours to find a dress that I could feel comfortable in. 4 hours for crying and disappointed. I blamed myself on the weight gain. It crushed my brothers heart to see me cry about my weight. I told him to not worry and I will try to get rid of this weight. Couple months after the wedding I saw the photo and I couldn't even recognized myself. I knew I had to change my attitude and start getting back in shape. So I stop eating junk food and greasy foods and more healthy foods. I started taking my son on long walks and at night my sister would come over and workout with me. I lost 61 lbs in the past 10 months. My weight goal is to reach 125. I'm almost there. There is way to get thru it but you have show yourself and prove that you can be all that you can be. That's my story and thank you for taking the time to read it and understand.

Hello all. My name is Jeanna, my husband is in the Army National Guard and is currently in training for yet another year long deployment to Afghanistan. Since he is not active I do not have the full support of living on base with other wives. I am joining this group to help me emotionally through these next few months. We currently live near St. Louis MO.

Hello, my name is Sarah. My husband is in the Air Force and we are currently living in San Antonio, TX. We have two wonderful daughters, ages 11 and 13. I love military life but it can definitely be challenging. This year I want to really focus on myself more and meeting my fitness goals. I look forward to getting and giving support as we reach our goals together!

My name is Emma and I am 23. I have been married for a year and three months. We live in Houston, Tx. I am not technically a "military wife" but I am a merchant mariner wife. My husband works for 3 weeks driving ships in the Gulf and then he is home for 3 weeks. No one really understands what I go through and that is why I joined this group. I hope y'all don't mind. I won't pretend that I know the level of stress you go through because he has never been deployed overseas but we have spent several months apart and it is normal for him to actually be gone 5-6 weeks at a time. I am sure my stress is on a different level than y'alls but I need the support from people who understand. If you don't want me around just say so. I hope you do though because I don't have many friends and none that really get it.

Welcome, Emma!
