    Tomorrow will mark 10 years married to the most wonderful man I know. He was my high school sweetheart. He was the one I "grew up" with. He was the man who stood by my side through 9 years of infertility. And subsequently, he is the the father of our son.

    He is also the man who watched me get bigger, while I watched him do the same. Over the years, we gained a lot of weight together. Eating out, eating anything we wanted, making excuses together. Being very inactive. Well, this all changed about 2 years ago. Starting with him.

    In the past 2 years, my husband has lost around 100 pounds

    In the past 1+ year, I have lost 75 pounds

    I look back on the years we've spent together, and I'm filled with mixed emotions. The damage we did to ourselves through years of unhealthy living, which in turn led to stress, depression, lack of intimacy, caused a strain on our marriage. BUT, we have been able to mend much of this through our journey over these past 2 years. Getting healthy has given our marriage the new life it needed.

    To celebrate our new life, we are doing an Olympic duathlon in September... he is a cyclist and I am a runner :drinker:

    He doesnt know im doing this, but if any guys out there would like to friend him, his username is todd29cody... I would LOVE to inundate him with requests! lol He uses the site religiously for logging, but doesnt have friends on here. :wink:

    Truly inspiring! My husband and I have lost about 80 pounds between the two of us since December. It's so much more fun to have a buddy to do this with. Keep up the great work with the exercise. You two look fantastic!
