A very special day for my DH today....

[PartyofSix]

As a lot of you may know my dh has been eating better with me now since I started back in jan 29 this year. He has been told by his doctor countless times to loss weight or he was gonna die. I mean just that bluntly. It was so hurtful and scary to both of us. Any almost ever first of the year we'd loss some weight you know the drill 10-40 pounds and then we'd stop! Well today is weight in day for us. And my husband has lost 100 lbs as of today!!!!! I just can't tell you all how much this means to our family. With 4 girls to take care of we have come to realize now in our mid 30's how important our health and taking care of ourselves is. And the best thing of all our 3 yo dd's and 11 yo dd love most of what we eat. It's all "normal" food not fried or dripping in fat. It's cooked healthy and it's helping them with there eating habits. I just am so proud of him. He wants to loose another 80 lbs so well have to see. Neither of us are ready to maintain but it was a big day for him and i wanted to share it with you guys. I know some of you may have over 100 lbs to loose like my husband and i want you to know your not alone. It takes patience, time and just sticking it out to get it done. Look at Dan he made it happen. I want to loose 100 lbs but i know there are more people here or lurking like my dh who don't want to look weight for vaniety it's necessary for quality of life. My husband has gone from a 54 waist to a 40 today! Thanks for listening to me brag about my dh

Thanks guys i will print this later and give to my dh the next time he's feeling down about a weight in. I really appreciate all the support i've gotta from this board. We are really excited and pumped up with both of us having great weight in's today. Sometimes when weight loss slow's it seems to take forever to reach a mini goal or a milestone goal but if you hang in there you will the next goal WILL come.

Tammy!!!! That is so amazing- I know you both are sooo thrilled- and what do you mean a 40 inch waist!!!! My hubby weighs 197 and has a 40 inch waist! Are you sure he really has 80 more to go??? He must be loaded with muscle! And to think he's lost it in this amount of time! Has he been back to the doctor? I bet he's gonna by stunned by the change. And you're right- something about having little kiddoes and hitting your thirties changes your whole perspective on eating- they'll thank you for showing them the best foods to eat!

You guys are AWESOME- look at that combined weight loss!! 168 pounds!!!!
I am really awed by you both!
