My husband and I started MFP at the end of August about 8 months ago. He has lost 83 lbs so far, and I have lost 51 lbs (plus 15 more pounds of baby weight in the two months before we started). It is definitely easier with a partner! We have modified our eating, lowering the amounts we eat and making lower calorie recipes (I love the Skinnytaste website the most!). It is surprising how many calories we were eating before!

This has definitely been a life change for us. I am so proud of both of us. I want to be healthier for my kids. I plan to lose at least 30-40 more pounds :happy: I am 5'5", and have gone from a size 18/20 to currently a size 14.

    Awesome! I wish my husband would get on board. He cooks better meals for me, but still snacks on pizza, chips and BBQ!!

    I also love skinnytaste, she has great recipes!!

    I get that! Mine is pretty close to goal so his calories are a lot higher to maintain. It makes it more difficult....but I know I can still do it! Keep up the good work!

    I really just count calories other than walking pushing my kids in a stroller! I do not go to a gym or exercise otherwise. I don't have the time yet with two little kids.
