Well, I have to say that I am very happy today. My husband decided to lose weight with me. It will be so much easier, with him eating the same foods, and I know I will be highly motivated, because now I am taking care of myself and my husbands choices. We just had our first healthy breakfast together, it is hard for him, he hates to eat breakfast,and he is very picky at times, but I am not pushing him, as long as he makes an effort to give things a try, I am thrilled. He really wants to lose weight too, and I think together we will start in the right direction. I have my work cut out for me, but I think the determination to make foods that are healthy and that he will eat, will give me something to concentrate. I doubt I will be bored. Thanks to all for listening.......

Bach! That's great news. I'm happy for you and know that it will make things easier. You could start taking a daily walk together, too, and that way you'd be moving a little more as well. That will help both of you on your way to getting healthy! It's great that he wants to get healthy, too. Take care and good luck to both of you!

Here's to healthy and happy!

I think it's wonderful your hubby and you are doing it together. I don't know if I could have accomplished what I have if my husband hadn't did this with me. It shows how much they love us and how determine they are to make this lifestyle change. Being easy on his is best. I catch myself being hard on my husband as I am on myself and he calls me on it. After all he only had 45lbs to lose and I had 166, so he reached goal faster and is now only maintaining. I, on the other hand, still have a ways to go. So your doing great letting him coast in as he can, and in the long run you'll both benifit from this "togetherness". Best to you! Kim
