    WOW!!! That's all I can say really. Makes me think of me and my husband. I started losing a year ago next month. Im down 75 lbs and my husband has started losing over the last month. We have become active together and I must say that I think getting healthy together does a lot for a marriage since this past month has been great!

    KUDOS TO YOU GUYS!!!! Very inspirational. Thanks for the story. Gives me hope.

    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:

    Wanna know whats cool? I posted this topic LAST JULY and someone just found it! How cool is that :drinker:

    We're both still going strong, he is training for a timed trial cycling race in May and I WAS training for my first marathon in April and ended up with IT band syndrome, forcing me to put my marathon dreams on hold. Im lifting and focusing on fat loss right now in the hopes to restart my training in the summer. Thank you everyone for your encouraging words! :heart:

    That is incredible! l love to see stories of couples getting healthy together. My husband is on board, but moving much more slowly (literally and figuratively) due to health issues. But I look forward to getting healthy together.
