I recently lost 67 pounds thru a doctor. My husband went off of the diet and I feel I am going back to my old habits that is why I am joining. I am hoping I can make new friends that can get me thru this trying time. I need to lose another 41 pounds to get to my goal weight.

    Wow, congratulations to the two of you for getting healthy. That is a lot of weight for you both to lose. I wish you success in sticking to it. I know you will get a lot of encouragement here. Maybe your husband will join you online with his own account and goals and the two of you can continue with your success stories. Since you mention he is a supportive husband, maybe the two of you can sit down and write a list out of all the reasons to stay healthy and not gain back the weight. Maybe you have family you would like to stay healthy for, a lifestyle that works better without the weight, etc. When I see things written in black and white, it really helps me realize how important it is to stay healthy. Also, doing things together--walks, cooking healthy meals, dancing, all of that can help! :heart: ::flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
