    Can I give one piece of advice? It's very important to set yourself habits now that can be maintained for the long haul! Losing a bunch of weight now is great, but take it from someone who's been there - it's sooo easy to jump right back into old habits once he's home, and before you know it, all your hard efforts are for naught...

    totally agree! it's so easy to get "dumb, fat, and happy" after the reunion!

    Ditto! Luckily I was two or three months into diet and exercise before my bf moved away. Even so when I visit him sometimes I'm still like... LET'S GO TO DINNER. PASTA. WINE. NECESSARY. GOBS OF IT. SPRINKLES CUPCAKES. LET'S GO. haha but then the super surprised look on his face reminds me that I'm bein' crazy lol yay oxytocin

    So my husband deployed to Afghanistan in May and my main goal is becoming a new healthier version of me. Physically and mentally! My husband knows my goals and is so excited and so am I! But my main issue is staying motivated, especially when he is away. Just kind of getting caught up in the laying around and being sad and eating because I am bored stages of deployment which is not where I want to be at all! So I hope that this community can help me stay motivated and stay on track! I can't wait to share my progress with everyone! :)

    That's cool! I hope you succeed! You should set up a ticker - it is SO exciting and motivational to see it everyday and when it gets updated with how much you have lost to date. My best advice is to be 100% honest on this site and to log everything - both food and exercise. Oh and have goals small steps apart so you're not waiting too long between goals to reach each one. Do something nice for each goal like a movie.

    Buy something sexy in the size you want to be when he comes home (be realistic) and hang it in your kitchen where you'll see it every time you open the fridge! That would motivate me!

    Just want to reach out and thank all the military wives on here and their hubby's for their service... It takes a strong woman to handle deployments and give each and everyone of you credit! My son is military and there was never anything more difficult then when he deployed... You all have one big cheerleader in me... you go girls and bless you all for your sacrifices!!!!

    As a fellow Military wife, I totally applaud your goals for while he's deployed. I'm sure you'll achieve them all with your motivation! Please do add me ~ I'd love to support you during your journey!

    Hi there! I am in the exact same place right now! (except for it's my fiance :D) He left in July and we both decided to work out together and work towards being the best version of ourselves while he's deployed! It almost brings us closer with the distance between us! I love it and am so excited to be doing this with him, he (like a lady said earlier) seems to make it sound so simple. Keep up the good work! Mine comes home in January, going to be fit BEFORE the next year! Giving myself a better version of myself for Christmas! :)
