I have high blood pressure from both heredity and obesity, love to eat and drink more than I should and know it. I cannot speak for my wife but she is a great partner, we quit smoking together, have lost weight together and gained it back so here we go again. The site will take time to navigate, I have snooped around a bit and she says we get startewd tomorrow. Our Doctor uses this site so we will also. I need to lose 50 to 60 pounds and she does as well. No fun with the Holidays but we will make it work. So I hope.

So much better as a team. As you can prepare meals around the same idea of eating clean and healthy.0

You are fortunate to be doing it together.
I can only wish my Dh would partner up with me on my journey. He doesn't have any weight to lose - he is in pretty good shape but could use the extra energy but...well...I am on my own here.
Fortunately, my 13yo is a terrific exercise partner.
Even your dog can be an excellent partner or your ipod...no excuses - get out there and get movin!!
Keep pushing forward...:flowerforyou:0 -
Great job to do it together, it will make it a lot easier...my husband isn't on a "diet" but he's lost 6-7 pounds since I joined MFP!! :laugh: He's eating healthier & more proportionately than before...so we've both lost since I started a diet which is good for both of us!!

Good luck! My husband and I have lost over 100 lbs together (him 60/me 40) he doesn't use this site but I do, and it's really helped me stay focused and on track (when I use it!) I have 25 more to go, he has about 10, so we are back at it today (on "Phase II" of our journey)... we began at the beginning of this year, and it is truly inspiring that we were able to do this together... I'm sure it'll bring a close bond between you and your wife as you accomplish your goals! Congratulations on making the decision to get started, that is the first most critical step!0

Good Luck!!!
Fiance and I are doing it together as well. Makes it 100 times easier to have someone to keep you accountable at home.

I use the site on my own but my husband is making great changes and has lost 27 pounds since the end of August just by cutting back portions. My daughter is using a different site but has proven to be great workout partner. She has lost 17 pounds in about 6 weeks. I have lost 28 since August 7th. Hopefully since were are all committed at the same time we will be successful. Welcome to the site. WOW! are you going to friend your doctor and let him see your food and exercise diary?? Brave if you are.0
