Hi all, my wife and I, although not really overweight (I'm 194lb at 6'3", and my wife is 127lb at 5'6") we have decided this year that the only way to rid ourselves of our old bodies is to do it as a team! As i said were not really overweight but i can honestly say Ive never been happy with my body and am looking to change that permanently! i have always been athletic, but have never eaten properly or cut out the beer! which has prevented me from looking like i know i can, so i figure i need to sort myself out. My wife has quit smoking a few weeks ago and figured that she wants to look her best so thankfully she has decided to join me. We figure were better doing it together so we can encourage each other as best we can. we are very happily married and i feel we are an awesome team when we try so why not try this since we both really want it!

Read a few of the before and after success stories and was inspired by some of the tales told so thought id post on here and join in!

Hopefully we can be a success story too..........

    My husband started MFP on Memorial Day 2011 and I started the next day. He had already lost all the weight he wanted ,but was looking to exercise and eat better. I was 230 pounds at 5'2".
    It has been a real plus for us to be working toward similar goals. We have even found a few challenges we could do together. Most recently we gave up meat on Mondays for 7 weeks on an MFP challenge and enjoyed planning how to go about it together and tried quite a few new recipes.
    I've lost 45 pounds so far and my husband has been training with a trainer. MFP has been a useful tool for us. I feel it has had a positive effect on our relationship as we find common ground concerning how we want to live and encourage each other in our efforts.
