Deployment can cause huge dread for a SO. I think this is a great way to deal with it. You either look fantastic for the man when he returns, or you're in great shape for the next guy.

Self-improvement is selfish behavior that benefits everyone.

The negative half of me looks at this story and thinks "she probably did this in order to try and trade up - hypergamy".

The positive half of me then looks at this story and hopes that it isn't true. I need to get off the internet, it's starting to poison my thoughts.

Also a good example of leading by example. They have children. They not only need to give instruction but show the right way to live.

Haha. My ex wife wanted to lose weight while I was over there so I paid for a personal trainer. She lost some weight. Any guesses on what else happened? :)

Let this be known that most women (and men, for that matter) look fantastic at the right weight. In the prom picture, you could see how she was clearly overweight, and people might have called her fat and ugly. Now, while 155lbs doesn’t hold a candle to the hottest girls on the block, it’s leaps and bounds better than 260-300. Most girls can look amazing, they just need to put effort into it.

Most guys too are not ugly. If you’re at a low body fat %, you will have bolder facial features, like a more chizzled jawline, and generally look better. With muscle the right amount of muscle on your bones, you will look big, and thus look good. Looks are not something most people, men or women, are simply “born” with. You gotta work at it, and if you do, the results clearly show. Bravo to this girl. Let it be inspiration to many other men and women.

The article is littered with fattie propaganda.

He never said anything about her being overweight.

He is essentially being applauded for not fat-shaming, and acting like that was a positive thing that helped her lose the weight, instead of being societies best protection against these unhealthy behaviors.

Second, the obligatory "diet pill" reference, to imply that losing weight can be unhealthier than staying a horrible fattie.

Third - she wouldn't lose the weight when the prize was her husband, she lost the weight during the classic military "cheat time".

What is she going to do, tell Time Magazine that she lost it so she could get more attention when she was cheating? That a fat sow couldn't even give it away while her husband was away at war?

Sudden interest in the gym is actually a cheating tell in married couples. She wouldn't lose the weight for him, but she'll lose it to compete for Jody.

BP example: letting your wife get that big in the first place.

Notice the different facial expressions the man has in the before and after pictures.

I can't possibly be the only one expecting them to divorce as she gets gobs of male attention. It's so common when a wife's SMV raises significantly. Doubly so in the military circles like this with tons single male troops right there to hook up with her, single mother or not.

Fat people getting skinny is always a great thing.

There are no unicorns, but if you search carefully, there are worthy fillies. Look for a woman complete out of step with modern culture; to keep her, be a man completely out of step with modern culture.

I don't understand how this is TRP for men...the man put up with a walrus who was 2x his circumference for years. I do applaud the wife for losing her weight and turning to a healthier lifestyle and SHE is well on her way to RP.

As someone who went through reasonably large amount of weight loss from obese to healthy, all I can say is "Respect".

To some people it can be really hard, it's difficult to just pluck willpower out of thin air even once you know the right tactic for losing.

Not going to ruin a positive story with wild speculations about potentially negative consequences, treat people on their merits.

Outlier: There is a reason why this is news.
