Hi everyone! I am married to a Navy Chief. We have been married for 16 years and started out as high school sweethearts. We have three kids, 14,11 and 10.
My husband recently left for another deployment to Afghanistan. I am working on eating healthy, exercise and in general changing our lifestyle while he is deployed. I am hoping to wear a dress I have in my closet that he loves at his homecoming in about a year.
I started this change for myself, but slowly my kids have adapted to the new lifestyle change. My 11 year old daughter was shopping with me last night and asked for a sports bra and some exercise clothes and told me she wanted to exercise with me. Little by little changes are being made.....without me making them jump on board.....they are starting to follow my lead. So that is my goal, to lose my weight while my husband is deployed, have a more active lifestyle with my kids (and husband when he returns), make better food choices, and just be a more healthy wife and mother.

Hey everyone I have been using my fitness pal for about a month ish. I am a air force wife. We are currently station in Little Rock but will be moving to Offutt end of May! I have two kiddos a little girl who will be 2 months this week and a little boy who is two and def. going through the terrible twos haha. I have lost 11lbs of 23 lbs which is my weight goal. feel free to add me~

Hi everyone! My hubby is a corpsman deployed with the marines out of Camp Lejeune!!! I joined this group to better my health! Add me if you want....I'm applying to OCS this fall!!!!! You ladies have a lovely day

Hi. My name is Natalie and Im a Navy Wife. We are stationed in Mayport. Im hoping to lose about 60 pounds (Ive lost 40 so far). I was doing really well losing weight but the holidays came and so did the pounds. Ive gained about 15+ pounds since Thanksgiving. I tried to get back on track at the beginning of the year but my mind wasnt in the right place. Today I weighed in at 231 and I was quite upset. Ive gained almost 10 pounds in the past two weeks (my hubby has been underway and Ive been a little depressed because we just learned his deployment was moved up two months...leaving in June instead of August - I also realized that after June I wont have many friends...most of my friends are moving this summer)!! AHH!! So, Im getting back on track today starting with drinking lots of water and getting back in the gym. I used Sparkpeople to help me lost weight last year but I thought I would give MFP a try this time. I hope it works to keep me motivated!

Hi everyone! My name is Colleen and I'm not a wife yet but will be later this year! My boyfriend is in the Navy and we've been together almost 7 and a half years! I joined to have more accountability for when I exercise and what I eat! I love running and I am currently attempting to learn how to swim as well! Please feel free to add me!

Hang in there!

Hey ladies! (: My name is Noelle, I'm 20, and here is to hoping that you accept Military girlfriends as well!! (I saw a few, so I hope it's okay!).

My boyfriend is currently in Sasebo, Japan and I'm hoping to get noticeably healthier before the next time he has leave, and completely healthy by the time we are able to "start" our lives together. (:

Hi! My name is Vickey. My hausband is in the Army. We are here in Fort Knox, KY. We have a 13 yr daughter and have been married for 15yrs. I gained a lot of weight while struggling w/ my thyroids ( they thought it was cancer ). So, I dealt w/ that for 6 yrs and finally had them removed a couple of yrs ago but have since been dealing w/ other health issues. I've kinda been in my own little shell for a while trying to cope w/ it all. Anyway I am trying to get back out there and lose some weight now that I finally have a little bit of energy and hopefully make some friends too!

Hi everyone, my name is Megan. My husband is a Combat Medic in the Army. Right now we're stationed at Fort Drum, NY. We've been married for 13 years but we've only been an army family for 3. We have an 8 year old son. We'll be PCSing this summer so I'm a little nervous about moving to a new duty station. I'm new to mfp and looking for more support, so add me if you like!

Hello ladies, my name is Sara stationed in Hawaii, have been married to my best friend for 2 years known him for about 7-8 years. He is in the navy and got deployed to africa for a year. I was 250 pounds on new years decided I wanted to look nice for him and myself, I've lost 25 pounds so far.

Hello ladies! I am an Air Force wife & my husband is currently stationed in Belgium! He has been in 5 years today and reenlists in June. He's going to be a "lifer."

I have always worked out on a regular basis just to live a healthy lifestyle & to eat :laugh:, I LOVE food. I recently became a fitness junkie and have actually set a weightloss goal for the first time. I just lost 7 Lbs & 8.5 inches all around doing the Brazil Butt Lift. I freakin' that workout!!! MFP has helped me stay on track by balancing my love of food & working out. I have 9 Lbs to go until I reach my goal weight. I wish all of you ladies the best of luck with your fitness journeys. Feel free to add me as a friend for some extra motivation & support.

I am Dusti and a proud Coast Guard wife. My DH flies 65s at Air Station Detroit. We are PCSing next summer (thankfully) and hoping for a warmer spot. I joined MFP because I gained 20 pounds since Januray due to fracturing and chipping my foot. I am not at 100% yet, but definitely doing better. I have lost 6 pounds so far, and hope to be back to my normal weight by the fall.

Hi everyone. Just joined the group. I'm not yet a wife, but will be in November. My fiance is currently stationed at Mayport in Jacksonville, FL. We're going through our second deployment together (his third total) and it ends this month! :happy:

I just turned 26 last month...joined MyFitnessPal a few months ago, but didn't start actively using it until last week. I've lost 10 pounds so far (total...not just in the week I've used this site) and planned to lose around 40 more before my wedding.

Hey! My husband is Navy and stationed in Kings Bay, GA which is 30 mins from Jax!

Hi everyone! My name is Angie and my hubby is in the Army. We are now on Recruiting Duty in SoCal and it looks like he'll be converting. We've been married for 9 years and have a 3.5 year old.

I just joined MFP couple days ago and could use some more friends. My goal is to lose at least 30 lbs. I've been on Inanity for the last 50 days.
