I did NOT bargain for this! (And now I'm even crying!)

*she said with sarcasm and triumph*

Reached 20 lbs down today (yay me!) but what I DIDN'T bargain for was my husband telling me this morning that he's going to need to buy new pants too! We can't afford for him to lose weight too-2 wardrobes with him in school?! ;)

But in all serious, it's great! He doesn't have nearly as much weight to lose as I do, but by being the most supportive man alive, he's losing some of that weight he put on after we got married (change of jobs made him more sedentary and I don't cook as awesome as his mom ;) He did my last 5k with me, weighs all food when he's helping prepare it, walks to work and home from the school bus stop, LOVE IT! He's the kind of guy that has and will tell me "I'll keep the bed warm for you" when I remember that I haven't done my crunches for the day (doing a biggest loser challenge with a dozen friends and this week's mini challenge was 100 crunches daily)-this after getting comfy in bed. Yep, he'll kick me in the backside and cheer me on. So I felt he deserved a shout out as well-hug those that support you today :D (And I'll try not to be jealous of him getting more compliments on his weight loss when he's not actively "trying" to lose weight ;)

And as for the tears....that may have just been the cold autumn weather causing my eyes to water when biking down a hill really fast ;)

    Congrats to you both!!!! I remember when my (now ex) husband and I would both "try to lose weight" - I would be eating dry toast and he would cut out things like an extra cheeseburger and he would drop 10 pounds in a couple days. It's totally not the same. But anyway, congrats!!!

    Wonderful!!! Your husband is just as lucky as you are for having a wife who sings his praises and acknowledges his love and support. It sounds like you are winning all around!

    We are in similar situations. My husband can stand to lose as much as me....however he isn't actively trying like I am. He is losing a little though....
