Hi Kinzie. I'm an Army wife here at Fort Bragg, NC. I'm also a full-time working, thyroid cancer surviving 41 y/o I've finally been moving my body again steadily since December. I have utilized the Army Wellness Center which is great, and also one of our friends downrange is studying to be a physical trainer and using me as a guinea pig. My biggest focus right now is 45 lb weight loss by June 1 for my daughter's high school graduation.

Hello I'm an army wife. I'm 25 no kids and currently stationed at fort Polk, Louisiana. So far I have lost 13lbs and have 8lbs to go to get to my first goal than any other 5-10lbs after that depending on how I feel about the way I look. I carb cycle Whig seems to be the only that has worked for me. I workout 5 days a week, weight lifting 3 days a week along with an work, cardio every day and yoga twice a week. Right now I'm 143 and my goal is to be 135 but my mail goal is to get to 125lb to 130lbs. I want to be lean so if I don't see the 120s I'll be happy knowing that I have mostly muscle. I use to hate running and now I love it. Feel free to add me as a friend if you like

Hey yawl! I'm Amber. I'm an Army spouse and I'm a soldier as well. We are stationed at Fort Campbell. He's active duty and I'm in the reserves. We have a blended family of six kids and a dog. I was doing amazing at my weight loss journey and then I went to a hard military school (at least it felt that way for me) and once I graduated I just let myself go. I was eating and eating and I completely stopped working out. Now I'm trying to get back on this horse of weight loss and get the ball rolling again. I work on post as a civilian along with being in the reserves. We have a busy life of kids and sports and I try to fit in a workout during the busy schedule along with eating right. It can be so hard to do but I'm trying. Feel free to add me and don't hesitate to ask anything.

Hello, Air Force wife here! My name is Lisa and I'm in Colorado. I started losing last year, but completely derailed during the holidays and gained 7 pounds back! I'm still down 22 though. I've used the logging part of MFP, but not the social part. I figured it's a great time to start! I am currently at 165. My next goal is 154, which would put me at a normal BMI. Looking forward to being a part of this group!

Hello! My name is Lindsay and I'm a Navy wife. We are stationed at Naval Base San Diego right now and hubby is getting ready to fly out to meet his ship for deployment. This will be our 7th deployment together. I started losing weight on his last deployment, about 2 years ago now and lost close to 25 pounds. I kept the majority of that off but gained a few for the holidays and from a vacation. I'm getting back on track now and trying to lose the last 10 to 15 pounds and hope to reach that goal before he comes home. I am also planning on starting to train for a half marathon. Thanks for adding me to the group!

Hey All.
I'm Charlise I'm almost 26 years old. I'm a Marine wife stationed in Great Lakes IL. My husband has been an Active Duty Marine for 9.5 years and signed on for another 4 years back in Oct. We have been together 6 years...and married 5. We have 1 gorgeous daughter who is 5. She is literally a beauty queen, she competes and wins natural pageants.

Outside my "military wife" role- I have a A.A degree, a B.A degree in Health Care Admin. and a Grad. Certificate in Human Resources. I work full time as a Client Service Coordinator for a company in-home health care for seniors. I work in office and have a 24/7 oncall phone that I must answer.

I was always on the "thicker" side but toned. I got pregnant, my husband deployed to Iraq while I was preggo- I gave birth with him on the phone, he came home asked me to marry him, I lost a lot of weight then BAM it all came back.

Then I lost is all plus a ton... it was amazing. Then it slowly came back. I used to love working out but it wasn't working. I got really sick in June, no one knows what its from and its still happening now-- I've lost 28 lbs because I really cant eat more than 1000 calories a day without throwing up or getting sick. So I'm trying to get my health back on track...and soon.
I'm not allowed some food such as dairy or sub sugars. But I'm a sucker for brownies with ice cream, cookies, and cheese (which has stopped lol)

My husband is off and around mostly so I play supermom the best I can.

I'm training for a half too! This will be my first one, and it's in April. -Okay, clearly I don't know how to use these forums yet. This response was meant for Lindsay!

Hi Kyleigh. Are your exercise equipment iFit compatible? My treadmill has an iFit wireless module that fits into my machine and I can pull up the exercise route on my tablet. This makes running much more interesting. When you enroll on the webpage ifit.com, there is a community like this one that has a lot of encouraging fitness fanatics to help you stay motivated. I want to encourage you to stay active and find a hobby to engage in for those stressful situations to replace stress eating. You have made the first step in being the person you want to be...that is to recognize the issue, and start an erercise regime to bring you back to your satisfied self. Go for it, you are not alone.

Hi everyone, please add me! I need support! My name is Loretta. I am 28 years old. My husband is active duty Air Force and we are currently at Shaw AFB, SC. We have been married for 12 years and have 2 children (Jacob 9, Layla 6). I have never been so overweight in my life, not even during my pregnancies! I weigh 15lbs more today than I did with my heaviest pregnancy I have spent the last few years doing online school and recently began homeschooling my son. Staying at home full-time has been my excuse for being lazy. I feel mentally drained most days and very unmotivated to be active. My eating has also been less than stellar enjoying starbucks and fast food several times a week. I have recently went on a clean food plan limiting my take-out and starbucks to 1 time a week and eating mostly unprocessed whole foods. I have also recently joined the YMCA. I am hoping since they have a inside pool, and I love to swim this will be the fresh start to fitness that I have needed! I wish that my friends and family were more supportive of my lifestyle changes. I guess for now I am on my own, but maybe once they see this is not a temporary solution they will get on board....Anyways, I hope to hear from everyone! I would also love to help support and motivate everyone on this journey with me. Feel free to vent or share your successes with me! I am very happy to "meet" other military spouses on here
