edited January 10 in Success Stories
When we started dating I weighed 158 and he has always been at pretty steady 150. I wasn't far off but of course how it seems to always happen we start in a relationship and get comfortable inevitably gaining weight. Not caring that we ate out all the time and spent all of our extra time together and not where I should have clearly been ( the gym) I managed to gain an embarrassing amount of weight making the scale say 242. I will never forget that number it's engrained in my brain 242! I actually enjoy the gym! I love the way I feel when I just went for a run or how healthy foods don't make my head feel cloudy. Anywho back to the point lol. In March 2012 I started my fitness pal tracking and exercise doing and have lost almost 95lbs making me weigh less than my hubby like I always wished I could say! We bought a scale and I had him step on "152" it said. This of course scared the ****ens out of me because I didn't think I would be under that..... "147.2" !!!! Yay! Finally my doing something about it instead of just whining that I hated looking @ myself paid off! I'm not quite done yet but hey I'm a lot closer now than before. And I will never let myself get back to that number... The way I see it is I won't be starting a new relationship to get comfortable in lol pretty much settled down now and couldn't be happier :)

    Congratulations! Isn't that an awesome feeling. I had never weighed less than my husband of almost 2 years (dating 2 before that) until about 2 months ago! I screamed to the heavens when I finally weighed less than he did. He now has me by 20 pounds.

    Thats my goal too :) My Boyfriend of 6 years has always hovered around 150, and when i started dating him i was around 165. When starting my fitnesspal i was 197! I just always felt self conscious that he was smaller than me! I want to be at a weight, under him where he can actually pick me up like those fairy tale stories :) Thanks for the motivation!! You look awesome!

    awesome!
    I FINALLY weigh less than my husband too. We have been married for almost 13 years and together for 15 and I honestly think this is the first time since married, for sure, that I have weighed less. I LOVE it!

    Congrats to you!

    Congratulations!! That is almost my story exactly. I weighed 160 when we started dating and ballooned to 245. I am pushing to get below 200 soon but your story really motivated me. Way to go and keep up the good work!

    You look like a model (!) and congrats on your weight loss!!

    Here's bad: weighing more than your husband when your husband is 6'5" and weighs 195 and you're 5'2" and weigh, well... more than that. :) So I can totally relate to being happy about weighing less than your husband! LOL

    Very beautiful girl, before and now!! What amazes me is most women obsess about losing weight before they get married, look at you.... kicking it in the *kitten* after. You are awesome, congratulations, and the best on the rest of your journey. :drinker:

    Well of course I started @ the general 1200 MFP gave me but that was not good for me. I used to get dizzy and had no energy to even work out. I bumped it to 1600 and that was so much better! I then felt like I had more energy to exercise and didn't feel like I was depriving myself of anything. I am @ 1350 a day now but I also work out like a maniac 5 days a week for at least 50 minutes. Once in a while instead of the gym I do a bike ride on the trail instead :)
