Sharing Some Inspiration for the New Year :-)

Thought I would share this comparison pic of my hubby & myself. The "before" was taken Christmas Day 2012, I weighed in at 295lbs & he weighed in at 306lbs!! Sad I know. We started our journey on Feb 11, 2013 & by the end of July he had reached his goal & lost 90lbs. He is currently maintaining, bouncing around between 209-212lbs. At the 10 1/2mth mark I now stand at 198lbs with 97lbs gone & 48lbs more to go to reach my goal.

As the holidays approached I couldn't wait to redo our Christmas pic, its an annual thing as well as pics with our kids but this year was going to be different & I knew it!

So for anyone going into 2014 needing to lose 150lbs like I did, look at this & remember that if I can do it SO CAN YOU!! We were both inactive, overweight, ate WAY too much take out & were headed for an early grave. We started slow & just kept getting stronger as the weight came off. We aren't perfect, the holidays has got to both of us but that is ok, we figured we have earned a break & are going to start back full force this week so that he can continue to maintain & I can reach my 100lb mark by my 1yr ann on MFP & my final goal this summer.

Feel free to add me as a friend, I log daily, keep a regular blog & love having new friends who are on here regularly too!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

You both look awesome! Although I don't need to lose as much weight, it is very encouraging just the same. Thanks for providing some insight and for sharing pics.

Thanks everyone!! Having him do it with me was def a big help, although he is now maintaining he still gets it & we still help each other out!
