My husband and I will be celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary this year. Every year we would have the same New Years resolution, to FINALLY lose the weight and become the fit healthy people we have always wanted to be. Yet, like most couples, we would find ourselves not only still overweight but even heavier the following year. January 1, 2011 something changed. We were watching the show Extreme Makeover: Weight loss Edition for the first time and something clicked. We realized we needed to approach losing weight in a whole different direction and actually ask for help. Hiring a personal trainer was something that we always thought was for the rich and never even considered it. Knowing that we had to do something different this time, we decided to take the monetary plunge and give it a try. This decision changed our lives!!! We have been blessed with 2 amazing trainers over the past 2+ years. They have given us the guidance, knowledge and accountability we really needed to be successful. Because of our hard work and dedication, I have lost 140lbs and my husband has lost 120lbs...with a combined total of 260lbs lost in a little over 2 years!!!!! We still have some more to lose but could not be happier with our progress so far. This was the best anniversary present we could have ever given each other, health and the promise of many more years to spend together!
