I just figured we could have 1 intro thread :P. I'm Tanya, 22 and married to an Airman. We have been together since we were 15 years old but got married in April 2011.

I've been overweight my entire life but everything came to a head here at our first assignment when I had to leave my family. I got up to my highest of 210 and then I decided to join MFP. The doctor thinks I have PCOS so I have an ultrasound scheduled for the 7th of next month.

I really want to not only look good but FEEL good and have the confidence to make more friends.

Hello, ladies! I'm 27 and married to Sailor. Our seven year anniversary is coming up in April, which is also the month he leaves for a year. We have a five year old son. I am a full-time student and I work, so I stay busy.

I've always struggled with my weight. When we first got married, I got very depressed when he left for six months and put some one. Then I became pregnant and put some more on. I decided while I was pregnant that I wanted to feel good about myself and vowed to get the weight off, which I did. I became obsessive about it and developed some bad habits, which took me a while to overcome.

I like to run and lift weights. I'm training for a 15K over the bridges in our downtown area and am really excited!

I joined MFP because I had put some weight on quitting smoking. I live in Florida and like to have fun playing with my little boy. I never want my weight insecurities stop me from enjoying my life and time with my son. With bathing suit season quickly approaching, I need to get back in shape.

I'd love to support you ladies in your weigh loss journey and military wife journey.

Hey everyone.

I am 29 married to a submariner for 6 yrs now. I have 2 kids 5 yr old girl and 2 yr old boy. I have been overweight my whole like until I was 21 then I went on WW all on my own and lost 80 pounds, then after my daughter at 24 I lost the 45 I lost from having her while my husband was deployed. Then when he got home we went on 2 vacations and I let loose and gained 25 pounds back then went onto new meds and gained 25 from that even while being on WW and working out. Then I got pregnant with my son and gained 35. I lost 30 after he was born in 2009. But then when my son was about 8 months old my father went into the hospital barely holding on he had pancreatitus (sp?) he had 20% chance of living through the night He fought threw it and made it threw but we found he had a 9cm aneurism in his aorta valve but could not be fixed while he was recovering from the pancreatitus. (mind u my dad had congestive heart failure in 07 but was doing fine till this happened) While he was in there it was about a4 months of living in the hospital and not caring about my food intake or working out. Then he made it out of the ICU and out of the nursing home where he learned to walk again, he came home and after a week at home his aneurism burst and he passed away on the operating table. My family and I were devastated and I gained more weight. Now I am looking to lose this weight because I want to be here for my family and ex specially my children. I want to do this for me but to also make my dad proud. We live close to my family now in CT I am from RI. We bought a house here and my husband will be off shore duty this year and going back on a sub. I need to lose 130 pounds( i was 170 when i met him and now i am 281) and want to get started now so when he deploys i can look great when he gets back plus it will help me take care of my kiddos while he is gone if i am healthy.

If you want to send me a friend request I will gladly except a lot of my friends have gone inactive now and I need some that are dedicated

Hello

My name is Lindsay and I am 26 years old. I am married to a Sailor and we've been together for 5 years and married for almost 2 years. I have always had a hard time losing weight - for me I have the yo-yo effect. I lose 5lbs and gain 7, lose 10 gain 6 ... it's a never ending battle! I was 150 lbs when I met my husband and am now at 184 lbs. I am aiming to get back to around 135-140 again and hopefully this time stay there! My weight has been up and down for 9 years now and I am tired of it and want to take control. I know I can do this and I am willing to do whatever it takes!

I started using MFP on Sunday so it's almost been 1 week ...

Hello everyone. My name is Amanda. I am 28 years old and I have been married to an Airman for 8 years. We started out in the military stationed in NC, which is home for me. We then PCSed to Okinawa, Japan and lived there for 4 years. Now we have been in Montana for 2 years. We are hoping to go across the other ocean soon and see Europe for a few years. We will see. We have enjoyed the military road, that is for sure. I joined MFP to get rid of some weight that was hanging around after I had my daughter. I have two chitlins, my son is 7 and my daughter will be 4 in April. Can't really call it baby weight now can I?

I started my journey on MFP at 160 lbs. I am down to 153.3. I am loving every minute of it. I work full-time for the Air Force as well as a civilian, I also go to school and have the kids and all of their extracurricular activities, so it is hard to find "me" time, needless to say. I have been doing Leslie Sansone's walking DVDs, and they are really helping. 30 minute work-out in my living room...can't beat that. Especially with the weather that we have here in MT, it is hard to get out a lot of the time.

I look forward to being on this journey with you all and have support from and be able to support other military wives meet our goals.
