How much did he lose?

I started my dieting/working out this year on Jan.4th, as part of my new years resolution of losing 50 lbs. My boyfriend was very supportive. I had tried losing weight the year before, and gained all but 5 lbs back. Still, he was right there when I needed him, and I count myself VERY lucky to have such a supportive partner.

He helps me cook healthy meals, and tries to eat close to my portion and whenever I exercise, he's right there with me. Sometimes it's frustrating because he'll ask questions or say things that are so, "DUH!" to me because I do the counting, I do the portioning and I do the research. He's just going along for the ride. He still eats extra every now and then, but nothing outrageous.

But when I started, he weighed 245 lbs, and now he weighs about 209-210. When I told him he had lost about 35 lbs, he said, "Huh, I guess so. I hadn't really thought about it." He's not the most expressive, but the smile on his face told me he was very happy! I told him that's something he should be proud of. He said it was thanks to me.

It made me feel so GOOD about my exercising and weight loss. That it's not just a healthier life for me, but for us!
I can't stop smiling!

    That is great!

    My hubby is supportive too but surprisingly enough he hasn't lost anything
