Hi. I'm Sandy. 4 years ago my husband and I quit smoking (that was the first step for the new me). As most of us do, we substituted food for cigarettes and gained 50+ pounds each. It took a long time for me to take that step as I'd smoked for over half my life. I battled it for years, trying but just not succeeding. That being said, I think 3 1/2 years of wanting to lose weight and finally taking that step is pretty good.

2 days ago, I found this site on my employer site and decided to give it a try. So far I have stuck to it which I find AMAZING!! This morning I logged my husband on. He is willing to give it a shot too and is now signed up as well. We are both joining the gym at our local community center and are excited to be doing this together. (He quit smoking a month after me.) I also downloaded the Runtastic app and as soon as the weather makes a change I will be excited to give that a try.

If anyone has any other suggestions that could help keep both of us encouraged, that would be greatly appreciated. Until then, best of luck to all.
