    I always said I would not do a "before and almost after" thread. I would wait until I met my goal. I always wondered why people came so far, why could they not just wait a few more pounds? Now that I am here, I can't help myself!! (for reference, I am 5'7" tall, my goal was to lose 100 pounds. I may adjust that when I get there.)

    This is my husband and I, at my top weight. 252 lbs., July 20, 2011.

    and this is what I look like now, 12 pounds from my goal of losing a hundred, at 164lbs., April 8, 2012.

      The 100 lb goal seems a little arbitrary anyway! How you feel is what really counts! You look great... what a difference! Good luck with the last 12 lbs, and congrats on your progress so far!

      Yes actually, he does a lot of the cooking, as he is home more than me. He likes to prepare food that the whole family can have, so his food prep has moved away from so many sauces and marinades etc. He's been walking with me too, and has dropped about 15 pounds and put on a bit of muscle. His blood pressure is now pretty good, considering he still smokes :-( but he's working on that. It is really so gratifying that we are making this change to be healthy and live longer together :heart: He has always been kind, loving, attentive and supportive, it's also nice to hear through the grape vine how he "brags" about my success. :blushing:
