    You were cute when you were heavy, but you're beautiful without the extra weight! You're a great looking couple, and it's great that you're both fit and enjoying life and each other. Good luck with the duathlon!

    I showed my husband, and he was amazed at how much younger you look. He thinks you looked old enough to be your own parents in the before pictures. :smile:

    Its funny how extra weight ages a person, and how loosing it almost reverses it... Like getting fit truly IS the fountain of youth! (well, not forever of course, but the idea remains) :wink:

    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:

    Amazing! Don't dwell on the past.. went through similiar stuff in my marriage, but through it, you prevailed. Celebrate it, and congrats!!!
