Husband and wife transformation journey 120+ pounds lost - combined

My 6-month testimony:
I didn't see the progress the first couple of months but my clothes indicated changes. My focus was and is consistency. My height is 6-5 and I've lost 60 lbs so far (6 months) - My goal is to lose another 50lbs in next 6 months
I'm down 2 pant size, 2 shirt size and 6-8 suit size.
I'm 53 yrs old and I had to prove to myself it was not too late to lose the weight. My wife and I are doing it together which makes it easier as we enjoy one another's transformation.
I eat lots of vegetables, brown rice, potatoes, beans, nuts, fruits, salads, turkey subs, baked fish, occasionally fried fish, steamed salmon, baked chicken, boca crumbles, beyond meat for my burger craving and granola snacks. My beverages consist of water and occasionally 100% juices. My cheat outings are Hibachi grill and sometimes Golden Coral (however, I maintain control). I'm looking forward to a nice expensive steak outing for my wife's birthday. No fast food and I limit processed foods. My reward is carrot cake once a month. Sweets and sodas are my addictions, therefore, I have to keep it under control.
I hope this helps someone, I have been inspired by the many testimonies on this forum and I'm glad to be able to share my success.
