Supportive Hubby!

I recently started my journey to a heathier me. I joined the gym and with the help of mfp, really started watching what I eat. If you make the right choices, 1300 calories is a lot of food!

My husband kind of laughed at first (I DON"T like to move!), but every day he would ask if I went to the gym and how far I walked. He was showing an interest! Today I told him I was down another 2 lbs, for a total of 8 in just under 2 weeks. And he said "I can tell. Good for you."

Now let's face it, 8 lbs with 82 to go is not really noticable. So I thought he was teasing me again. But he said that he really could tell...the difference wasn't so much with appearance but with my mood and attitude. I was happier, and he noticed the difference. Then he said the sweetest thing..."I don't care if you lose weight or not, I love you. But I do care that you are happier, so keep up the good work."

Maybe all those miles on the treadmill are worth it after all!

My hubby is also very supportive - I am very blessed aswell for this. It really helps to have someone tell you on a daily basis how well you are doing

aw that is so sweet!!! My hubby is supportive to a point lol.. but I dont think he understands because he isnt going through it himself. You know how some men are... you gotta tell them what to say lol

btw congrats on losing 8 lbs thus far

Thats a good man! And you know what, he's probably right! When you start to lose weight, you just feel more confident...and confidence is one of the most attractive qualities in a person. If you feel good about yourself, it affects your whole life! Congrats on the 8lbs by the way!

Congratulations on choosing such an awesome guy!!! He sounds like a sweetheart. I gotta say tho, I've been counting calories and such on mfp for a while now but never been as committed to it and to working out as I am now that my husband is doing it with me!! We get on the elliptical and high five each other as we hit our mile stones. I love him. He's truly an amazing man and I thank God for him.

I know having the support of my husband really helps. He too told me I was beautiful when I was at my biggest and doesn't really care if I lose weight, but he knows when I lose weight I'm happier and more energetic. Congrats on the 8 lbs.:flowerforyou:

He is a great guy, most of the time!:laugh:

We've been married 30 years, and have 5 children and one beautiful, wonderful, brilliant granddaughter (who will be 3 in July)!

That is terrific. And while we can do this without support, that level of unconditional support can be a HUGE boost!

My BF is very supportive. He measures and cooks all of my food for me! I have tried to lose weight many other times in which he didnt really care one way or the other. This time I decided if I was going to succeed I would need his help! He loves to cook so I decided to challenge him. I challenged to cook healthy for me so I could do this. He has embraced this challenge full force. He measures and cooks everything. He has even started eating a little healthier. He doesnt need to lose weight as he is 6'6" and 160lbs. But he needs to be healthier. It is so much easier and I credit a lot of my success to his willingness to help me. Glad I see that others have support also!
