Just wanted to brag. My wife and I have been using this site since January 1st. Excercise and diet are the most important aspects of our lives right now. I have lost 25 lbs and she has lost 23 lbs. We are never hungry, we eat 5 times a day, we excercise every night after work and before dinner and we even have been treating ourselves to a Saturday night dinner out, choosing wisely from the menu. Our co-workers are noticing our new shapes and asking questions. If we can dothis, anybody can. Some weeks we didn't loose even a pound, the next week we were down 2 lbs, but over the 12 weels we have been doing this it has averaged about 2 lbs per week. We are keeping it up an hopeing to drop a few more.

    Wow! That's so great!

    I've been trying to get my husband on here for a while, but I'm not sure he's committed enought yet... We'll keep trying!

    I have always thought that it has got to be easier to do as a team effort. I would love to get my husband to do this with me! I think it would be much easier at meal time and exercise time to have someone right by your side. he supports me in this journey but it is not the same.

    Kudo's to you and wife!

    That's awesome!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    I'm only 3 weeks in, so it's nice to hear you say that some weeks you lose nothing, and other weeks more, so that it averages 2 lbs (I only lost 1 lb last week!) :grumble:

    Keep up the great work and post to let us know how you do - it inspires us to keep going!

    Great work everyone! I've lost 17 and my husband has lost 15. He laughed at me when I joined and said he could do it w/o the site, but he quit laughing after I lost weight and he didn't! Then he joined too. Now he bugs me all the time to enter the meals I make into the food database so he can log them. It is nicer with a buddy isn't it?
