Having my 20th anniversary next month and my goal is to be below 200 by then. Started 2 years ago at 258 and I am just past the 50 lb mark. Just found this app in December and I am stepping everything up this year and it is really helping, but being below my husband on the scale makes me feel awesome!

    Way to go!! I had a similar goal. Our 20th was this past Jan. 2nd. I didn't lose all of the weight I wanted to in time for our anniversary but I do now weigh less than my husband who by the way is taller than me and a stick. He's 167 and I'm now 165. When we got on the scale this morning we did a high five afterwards. :laugh: Oh the joy! lol So I know exactly how you feel. Doing the happy dance with you to burn a few more calories :happy: OH and happy anniversary!!:flowerforyou:

    Thanks guys, my hubby isn't exactly slim but I wouldn't say fat, he is a firefighter so he is fit but more than he should be, but hey I will take it! Nice to meet you Peggy.

    I've been married 25 years and always weighed more than my husband . we have both put weight on over the years but up to a couple of years ago I weighed 45 pounds more than him . as of this morning I am 4 pounds heavier than him . I still have 101 pounds to lose so we are both very overweight . I told him that by my birthday in March I'm going to weigh less than him! he reckons he is going to lose weight so I won't . he has lost about ten pounds in the last year as I have been cooking healthier foods but he eats some junk food at lunch times . it's a win win situation as if I can't catch him up cos he is losing weight I get a fitter healthier husband and if I do catch him up I am so going be able to mock him!!!

    I totally understand, as that is one of my medium term goals, as well!

    Congratulations!!

    This is one of my goals too. :D My husband is in the Army, and although he's not as fit as he once was, he's still a stick and only five inches taller than me. My goal is to get to a point where I weigh less than him again, like I did when we got married. :)

    I totally understand this. DH weighed more then me when we first hooked up, but over the years, I put it on and he dropped. In about 10 lbs i'll be less then him for the first time in probably 12 years. Its the little thing sometimes that makes one smile :)

    To weigh less than my husband is one of my goals too. He's somewhere in the 180-190 range...and I started out (before I joined MFP) at 253.2... last week I weighed in at 215.8.... so I have a ways to go!

    I'd weigh less than my hubby by now... except that he joined MFP too and has lost twenty pounds. So I weigh less than he *used* to weigh...

    Congrats!

    My husband and I have always been close in weight, but I gained (and held onto) 40+ pounds during my pregnancies so spent the past few years weighing much more than him. I'm now about 2-3lbs. above him now and can't wait to finally weigh less again! Hopefully in the next month I'll be posting that victory!
