Howdy! Can I join in? My husband is retired Navy, I endured 3 long deployments with little kids and babies. He's now a DOD employee and is on an extended work assignment in San Diego. He left at the beginning of January, not supposed to come home until end of May. I've decided it's not an easy life! I did go see him a few weeks ago, and he was really pleased to see my progress with the weight loss. That was fun to be able to surprise him a bit. (I had started Atkins last fall, so he did see some of my progress before he left.)
Anyway, nice to meet you all. Stop by my journal, and start one yourselves!
Another way to connect is to go to Support Groups and just start a new Thread. In fact--I'll go do that! See you there!
