Hello everyone! I'm Sherie, and I'm an AF wife~stationed at Andrews. I smoked my last cigarette Jan. 31 2011 Then I quit running and doing dvds in March. I gained 23 pounds:( Not sure why I quit working out, I just got lazy I guess, but I'm back and going strong (30 days) Saturday I had my best ever 5K~33:09 (treadmill). I plan to run my old outside route (hills) on Thanksgiving to see what my road 5K is. My husband is deployed and won't be home until end of May beginning of June. I want to have a smoking hot body by then. He's on a year long deployment, then he'll be home for a year then gone for another year.

Hi! My name's Tricia. I'm married to an Army Guard Infantryman here in NY. I just had my second son Oct 18th. I still have about 12 pounds to lose from him, and a total of at least 30 total -- I never really recovered after my first son. I think my biggest goal is getting in shape and toning up all the fat that seems to peek out of everywhere... bra, jeans, etc. Nice to meet you all!

Hello! I'm Randi, and an Army wife stationed at Ft. Carson, CO. I've recently discovered this site, and at the perfect time. I have six children ranging in ages from 13 to 2 (yes, six--not a typo!--and I'm not having anymore. LOL) I'm a former fitness junkie (lost my mojo after a really difficult pregnancy last time). I gained a ton of weight with my caboose baby, and I haven't lost any of it since she was born--two years ago!

I'm ready to get my body back--all my cute clothes from when I was fit stare at me from my closet with sad eyes, begging me to dust them off and wear them again. I also miss the ton of energy I had when I was in great shape. I have mild tonsillitis at the moment, so I'm keeping it light on the exercise this week as I recuperate. Next week, however, I will be submitting myself to Tony Horton's special brand of torture (aka P90X).

Aside from being a military wife and a mother of an inordinate number of children, I'm a writer and fledgling artist. It is my goal, one day, to be a fitness trainer as well. (I love fitness--even though I don't look like it right now.)

My dad is stationed at Ft Carson, along with my step mom, sister and brother!! Plus - I also have an infinite number of children! 2 sons belonging to me and 3 step daughters! Although I only birthed 2 of them - I still have 5 running around my house.. 6 weeks old, 5, 7, 7 (soon to be 8), and 9 (soon to be 10)! The 4 oldest are basically back to back - as soon as one has a birthday the next does. The 2 middle are both in 2nd grade. You can imagine the "joys" in my house with so many kids the same age!

My name is Chassity and I'm also an Army Wife stationed in Fort Carson, CO! I'm actually away right now visiting with family for the rest of the month though! I'm 28 years old and have a daughter that's 4 and a son that's 1! I started MFP earlier this year and lost 10 lbs only to gain it back while we were on leave! I fell off of the wagon after that and gained even more weight due to a stressful time in my life! I'm ready now to put myself first and do this again, not only for myself but also for my kids!

Hi my name is Jennifer, and I am married to the love of my life who is a active duty Marine. We are stationed in Camp P, but we live down in San Diego. I started my weight loss journey a little over a year ago 10/10 after I had my first son. I started at 450 lbs. I had a difficult pregnancy that ended with a very difficult and dangerous birth. My ob at the time told me I wouldn't be able to lose weight unless I got weight loss surgery,. Between that and everything else it made me want to change my life. I have lost a lot of weight, but have struggled the last couple months. But, I have found my motivation again to continue my journey. I look forward to getting to know you ladies.

Hi! I'm Nichole. I've been in myfitnesspal forever, I think, but just recently started participating in the message boards. My husband is in the Army and we are stationed at Fort Hood, TX, but we are PCSing to Italy soon. I'm 28 and have 2 girls who are 1 and 4. I've lost over 50 pounds since giving birth to my second child, but still would like to lose about 30 more. I've been really struggling since my husband returned from deployment at the end of August, but I'm trying to get back on track!

Hi! I am Kelly... Mom to 5... Married to a Sailor. Went through the whole thing with him.... currently we are in Wa.. he is deployed so I figured a great time to lose the extra padding and look all sexy for homecoming. Although.... the day to day with the 5 kiddos takes a lot out of me. I started Insanity this week on Monday... and so far it is going good. I just hope I can stick with it.... Anyway... so glad there is a military wives group.

Hi guys! I'm a Marine wife, been married 7.5 years, together almost 10. We met when he was on MSG duty in Nigeria and we were married in Slovenia right as he finished his term on MSG. He recently did the WO program and we are now in New Bern, NC, stationed at Bogue Field/Cherry Point.

I have two kids, a girl who's nearly 6, a boy just over 1, and I stay home with them. I'm originally from England and I gained weight after we got engaged and gained even more weight when we moved to the USA. I have lost/gained the same 20-30lbs over the last 7 years, but I'm trying to get down to my ultimate gw, 120 or less which is what I was when I met my husband. I have been logging here for about 3 weeks and am down just over 6lbs down. i'm only 5ft tall so weight shows on me really easy.

I love to dance. I was a teacher and student in International Style ballroom and latin in England before I left and since we came to the States, I've not been able to do it again until now. I have been taking private lessons and doing whatever (cheap) group classes I can come up with the cash for and have rediscovered my love of dancing. I auditioned for an ensemble role in a community theater production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels last week and I am pretty certain I am in as a major dancer and there's a possibility I have a role as Jolene as well(!) which would be a big shock as I went to the audition very unprepared but decided to try it anyway

can't wait to get to know you all and support eachother's weightloss here.

Welcome Karena.

Hi everyone, I've been married to a sailor for 9 years. We are currently stationed in Florida (Pensacola area). We have been to Charleston SC (twice) and Groton, CT. I'm origially from Virginia and my husband from Texas. I have Family in Virginia, Houston Tx, San Diego, and Sacramento (and that's just my Parents and Siblings!) My husbands family is still in Dallas, Tx where he grew up. Most of our leave is spent visiting one of these places!

My husband and I were together for 2 years before we got married and I gained about 20 pounds during that time, I wasn't exercising and cheap food fit our budget (Hamburger Helper). In the first 3 years of our marriage I gained another 30-40 lbs and have been right around 200lbs since, (I'm 5'9"). I'm 31 and figure it's now or never. We are going to be moving a lot in the next three years so an online support group will be helpful.

Feel free to add me to your friends list, and thank your husbands for their service and thank you all for supporting them!

Hi everyone, my husband & I have been together almost 10yrs but married for 5yrs. We are both military brats but new to life as adults. We joined the Army April of this year & have seen each other a total of 2wks since this journey has began. I'm currently in Texas waiting to join him in Italy. We love to workout but have been doing it separately since we joined. Finding this group came at the best time.

Happy New Year everyone! I'm Rachel and I'm very happily married to a Coastie. We are currently stationed in Port Angeles, WA. We have an amazing little boy, Tristan, who turns three today. Happy Birthday Tristan! I joined MFP about 3 weeks ago, but am a former Weight Watchers lifetime member. I started my weight loss journey three years ago, after Tristan was born, at 200 pounds. I lost 60 pounds in one year with Weight Watchers, reached goal, and maintained that weight for the last 2 years. I basically got stuck. I was tracking, exercising, and doing all the right things, but could not make my weight budge. So, I got lazy, quit trying with WW, and the weight started creeping back. 6 months ago, I read the book Master Your Metabolism, and it changed my life. I started eating cleaner, organic fruits and veggies, and cut out alot of processed food from my diet. I also switched to counting calories, and loved how much easier it was than figuring out WW points. I was tracking my calories in a little homemade journal, and then my friend told me about MyFitnessPal. I haven't gone back. I am now 6 pounds away from my ultimate goal. For fitness, I am addicated to running (it's a little hard right now with the Northwest Washington winter), and I ran my first half-marathon in August. I will begin official training for my first full marathon starting in February. I absolutely LOVE MFP, the friends I have made on here and the encouragement everyone provides daily. This is SO MUCH BETTER than WW, and, it's FREE! I love to provide encouragement to others along their journey, so please feel free to add me.
