Guess who else lost weight??

A while back I mentioned how my husband had lost 11 pounds just eating what I do. Today when I came home he told me he was down another 10 pounds.......and finally under 200 after about 7 years of hovering around 218. When I married him he was 140 and had a 30 inch waist. I was 116 and had a 26 inch waist.........hard to believe we were ever that small! I've seen a difference in how he looks and was pretty sure he'd lost even more but he doesn't seem overweight to me even though I know at 5'8" he is. I always thought men carried extra pounds better than women.
The funny thing is....he's not even tried!!! :eek: He just eats the same things I do and now we walk every day........he's drinking less beer (thank God!!) and says he feels great.
I had to share this with everyone here. My kids just don't get it. :confused: And I know you all do! YAY!!!!!

It's it awesome! My DH has lost nearly 20 lbs too just from taking the crap out of our house. He could loose the other 15 to 20 if he didn't eat out everyday for lunch. It's nice that we can contribute to the health of our family by the changes we make in our lives.

That is great news and it is good that he seems happy to eat along with you and is receiving the benefits at the same time awesome!

lol Di, I know what you mean -- the first thing my daughter said to me was, well I will be the last one to notice your weight loss - I see you all the time -- uh no it is usually only on the weekends -- well yesterday she came over and the first thing she said was - wow you are losing weight! I chuckled...it is so awesome your hubby is losing weight right along with you - and how wonderful to walk together - WE do that here too! Makes you think at least HE is paying attention to your new lifestyle eh? unlike our kids - with life focused on them (like we used to do at that age too) but with such a huge lifestyle change it DOES matter and they SHOULD notice - that's kids for you lol
