    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:

    I FREAKIN LOVE THIS. WHAT A GREAT BONDING EXPERIENCE THIS MUST BE.

    This will sound bad but I am a little jealous. You are lucky your guy will do this with you. Mine won't and I never felt I had any support either during my loss. Enjoy it. Very happy for you both. It's the way it should be.
