Hi everyone,

I'm 37, 6ft 2 and..wait for it, 303lbs at the start of this. My wife and I are having a concerted effort to loose all the weight and start leading a healthier lifestyle. Day 3 and so far so good. Big challenge for me as I have a whole person to loose in weight!

Be great to hear from anyone in the Cornwall UK area.

Matt & Nat

    Welcome!

    I think you will find that having your wife with you on this weight loss journey will be a huge help.

    Neither my husband nor my daughter (thankfully) have weight issues, nor do they have the plethora of food intolerances that I have, so I end up cooking two different dinners at night. There are foods that are off limits to me in my refrigerator... it can be disheartening.

    Having you and your wife be having similar goals will help. Make a game out of it. Exercise together. Make little bets (the person with the biggest percentage a week gets to skip the dishes for the next week, etc.)

    Good luck. You can do it. This site is inspirational to see those tho have done it with MORE weight to lose than you.

    Hi Matt & Nat! My husband and I are also on this weight-loss journey together. His stats are similar to yours (10 pounds heavier, and 10 years younger ;)

    We're 4 weeks in, 20 pounds down (together), and feeling great. The weekends have been the hardest (at our age, there is a wedding every weekend!), but it sure helps to be able to cook and exercise together.

    Good luck!
