  • My husband's a martial arts instructor, and I'd suggest you call your local YMCA or YWCA. Most of them have scholarships and sliding scale memberships fees for people who meet certain income requirements, and believe it or not there are some really great instructors through local Ys. Many of them are long time instructors…

  • When I first started my weight loss efforts back in my 20s (41 now), my partner and i lost quite a bit of weight on Atkins. It definately works, but we gained a good part of it back. I'm learning to approach food as an overall lifestyle change and realizing that in order to keep the weight off, I have to make daily good…

  • Feel free to add me, too. My goal is to go from 279 (starting 2 weeks ago) to 150 by my birthday in October of 2012. That would be a total weight loss of 129 pounds from my lovely high point a few weeks ago. I'm down 6 so far. I had used MFP before and lost some weight, but I broke my foot and gained some back. I'm…

  • I'm a 6-wk body make-over fan, as well. My partner and I did the program religiously for several months, I lost 40 pounds and several dress sizes, but then I broke my foot. After a few weeks of not being able to exercise, I lost motivation, and now I've gained it all back and more. I'm back of track as of last week and…

  • What an amazing journey for you both. I, too, am working with my partner to lose weight. Similar to your husband, he lost his dad when his father suffered a heart attack at the age of 52. This fall, my partner was diagnosed with high blood pressure, and I recently hit an all time weight height of 279. We just started to…
