in Success Stories
My wife and I have been doing this together. We just finally sat down and made a blog post sharing our success and tips. We hope that it helps other people!!

We have been doing just one change a week and trying to support each other on our bad days. We don't have a gym membership, we live paycheck to paycheck. It's amazing to me that we spend less at the grocery store than we ever have before!!

I hope this post helps those who are making the change. :D

    Looking good, way to go! You both look awesome! Thank you for the tips also... here's a question, does coconut oil change the taste of what you're cooking? I RARELY fry anything or use oil, but it's something I'd like to try. I've been trying to cook more...

    Anyway, you both look awesome. Very inspiring!

    Congratulations and nice work to you both! So great to have a spouse to share the journey with. don't tell my husband but there have been times over the years that I wished he had a weight problem too so we could work on it together! :smile:

    He is 100% supportive and loves me no matter my size BUT it is maddening....

    Yes, it does change the taste a bit but not in a bad way. It's the only oil we use now. Sometimes I'll toss in butter without thinking & realize I now hate the smell of it in the pan. Lol

    Yay!
    And I totally want to steal your wife's (or your) dress!

    I wish my husband would do this with me. He refuses and needs it even more than I. :(

    First off, congratulations!! That is wonderful. It's great that you have someone supporting you :)

    Secondly, I sooo agree with you about the trips to the grocery stores. I used to go at least twice a week to restock my junk food and would stay minimum of an hour and a half. Now I go once every two weeks and stay less than half an hour. In and out, and only coming out with better choices! This has been good for my weight loss along with my wallet. lol

    Congrats again!!
