Hey! My name is Sherry and I am a newly wed to a wonderful guy who is currently deployed. I was just wondering if there were any others on MFP? Maybe we can get a bit of a support group for fitness and surviving deployment?

We are almost 5 months down! It's amazing how strong we really are, it really has made us closer, although we have had our tiffs that were devastating, but we pushed through.

Feel free to share a post or message me anytime!

    I am soon to be newly inducted (he's in boot camp). We'll be living apart for the rest of this calendar year so it's kind of hard for me but I'm not ready to quit my job until we get some other things taken care of.

    I am also a military spouse ... although my husband is home for the time being, we have been through one deployment together. Good luck on your fitness journey.

    Army wife here, but my husband is not currently deployed. I was thinking about posting to see how many military families we have on the site. Bless you and your family at this time, I know it is difficult. I will add you as a friend!

    Air Force wife, husband is currently deployed for a 365 day tour but we are down to 35 days left! Been through 15 deployments, i thought it would get easier as kids got older but boy was I wrong on that one!

    Planning is key for everything! I haven't left my job yet and so we did a back and forth thing and hour apart for the entire time we were dating a the few months before he deployed. If he is going to be away, it is good to keep your routine.

    Hi there! I am a Coast Guard wife! Moving so much has really affected my weight (4 times in 9 years) and I am just tired of it!!
