Hi :) My name is Brittany and I am not new to MFP but I have not made any friends on here as of yet. Here is my attempt! Everyone needs support from people who are trying to accomplish the same goal! I am 26 and have 3 children. My husband is deployed. I have been trying to lose weight for YEARS but now is the time for me to really kick it in high gear! My short term goal is 50 pounds while he is gone! :) Any support would be appreciated! Thanks!

    I lost the bulk of my weight while my WoofPup was PCS'ed to Guantanamo. Having them gone sucks hard but it's fun to surprise them when they get home.

    My husband is deployed also. I have 2 kids and working out at home seems almost impossible. Luckily Im able to work out at work.....Good luck on your weight loss journey and during the deployment. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Warning: my food diary isnt the best as I often just eat whatever I make the kids and mornings are more on the run than I'd like

    Hi :)

    I'm Shelley, my boyfriend is currently deployed! I've set myself a goal of getting to 10 stone by Christmas - that's when he comes home!!

    Looking for more friends to support to and also to be supported. Send me a request if you like :)


    Take care and good luck! x

    My hubby is a contractor; he has been gone 9months, is home for r&r now and is going back for another 6-12 months in about a week. I have three kiddos (7,5 and 1) and my goal is to be within a healthy bmi range... that means anywhere from 40-60lbs. My ultimate goal is 135, but at 5'8" I'll settle for 160. (the higher end of my bmi range). Good luck to you!
