My name is Danielle and I've had issues with my weight since I left the Army. I could never stay on track and I would go back and forth with losing weight then gaining weight. I've recently gotten married and even though I want a family, my husband is concerned for my health since I've had a miscarriage before.

His stipulation is that if I lose fifty lbs and get myself to a healthy reasonable weight then we can start trying. Which means I finally have true motivation to lose this weight! So since I'm such an introvert and don't really communicate well with the people I do now, I would reach out in here and maybe find some support.

    You can do anything you put your mind to! After all, you WERE in the military lol. Dealing with this will only build character

    I know I can, I just sometimes lose focus! I have PTSD so sometimes food is my comfort. I know I have to stay strong!

    Hi Danielle! I'm a fellow vet (Go Navy, LOL!) with the same problem and goal. Maybe we can motivate eachother. ☺

    I find exercise can really help. I've dealt with PTSD and it's good to have a focus. You are strong and you have a great reason to stay motivated. Good luck you have a lot of support here. Add me as a friend.

    That's what I've been hoping for us support. Because of everything, I'm very much an antisocial introvert so I don't do well with face to face interaction so I'm quite isolated. Having this community support will do me wonders!

    I have added you :)
