    My wife has the same goal - she wants to weigh less then me. We are both losing weight. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM YOUR GRAND ACCOMPLISHMENTS, but in NSV the S is scale you can't WEIGH without a Scale. I really hate it when people get all semantic but . . . I was surprised no one said anything.

    You are doing a great job
    Best of luck to all of you on your journeys toward health,
    Rick

    Yes, but it's not the number on the scale ITSELF that was her victory, it was the fact that she FEELS small and delicate compared to her man.
    Regardless, it's a great victory :)

    I hear ya! I smiled the day I stepped on the scale and realized I weigh less than him! My next goal is to fit into his jeans.. He laughed when I told him that!


    HAHA..thats great! There is no way I would fit in the hubby's jeans! He has a hard time finding jeans small enough for his itty bitty waist and tiny rear. :grumble:

    LOL Rick! I guess I hadn't thought of it that way! hahahahahhahahahha! You are so right. To me, it wasn't the number or pounds lost, it was more of a feeling than a scale thing. lol. So funny- but you're right.

    This one will be really hard for me to accomplish but it is one of my goals. But my hubby isn't 6 feet and 200 pounds like a lot of ppl's posts say, mine's only 5'5 and 145! I have to lose his ENTIRE body weight to be less than him. And Ima do it!

    what does NSV mean?

    My boyfriend just joined so he could gain weight :-/... at least it will take less effort than before to weigh less than him.

    Way to go! I feel the same way. My husband has always weighed less than me, he's thin and tall, so when I realized I actually weighed less than him it was a big NSV for me also! It truly does make you feel more "normal" and girly to weigh less than the hubby!:flowerforyou:

    I will never reach this NSV - my BF is a tall 6'3'' and 160 pounds. Gorgeous and wiry. I can match his gorgeous, but I'll never be wiry!!

    So congrats to you. I'm going to live through your NSV!!!

    I'm right there with you, my hubby is 145 as well. When we started our weight loss adventures, he was 165 and I was 216, so I'm happy I'm below his initial starting weight, although I still have 14 pounds to go to be less than he is. HOWEVER, Monday I put on his jeans and zipped them up!... he wears 30 X 30 jeans, I was pretty excited (but really happy to unzip them as I was starting to pass out from lack of air, haha).

    I can so relate to your NSV. I am still 20 pounds heavier than my hubby and I cannot wait until the day I weigh less than him.
