Woohoo! Well done, you deserve to be successful. Now for your next goal - banish the word "only" from your vocabulary!!!! You haven't lost "only" 30lbs - you lost 30lbs that ain't coming back. Here's to the next 30lbs :-))))))

Tawanda! (Fried Green Tomatoes, movie quote) Congratulations! You ROCK!!!

Your journey is your journey , and hers is hers. You need to be firm with your wife and tell her u like yourself at this w,eight and that u will not go back to your old ways and put back weight on. Set boundaries with her ..you can make a choivce and don't let her comments bother you. Be firm and tell her you won't put up with her negative comments. This is an issue she needs to resolve for herself..don't try to figure why she is doing this.. Concentrate on keeping your health in check.

Has she lost as much weight as you? Guys seem to lose faster then the ladies, and your success on losing more then her may be making her a little jealous....also she probably never thought she had to worry about competition because she thought you were to big for other women to come on to you now, and so now she feels insecure in your relationship. Just a few theory's. good luck!

You have done an amazing job and you do look great. I'm glad to hear that your weight is leveling off, since you don't want to go too far. As far as your wife's journey with WL as compared to yours, it really sounds like she's on a different path or has different motivations than you. Your success isn't apparently the same as her success, so she isn't reacting the way you're expecting. I agree with above comments about the heart to heart and the idea of couple's counseling to be sure you are both still on the same track - it's good to check in. Also, if your weight is leveling off finally - it might truly be time to get to that more upscale department store where a menswear expert can "fit" you for your new body shape - from t-shirts to jeans and dressier clothes, fit can really make that difference and you sure deserve it after such amazing work and success! Good luck!

Joe - This is a wierd place to be in. You have been so successful and dedicated. It really may be that she is jealous. I don't kow her so I cannot judge but it seems like you two need to talk about it. If you don't you will begin to resent her and that will not be good for you or your relationship. You are a great man and I am sure that she knows it...she may not realize how much it really hurts you! Don't forget that you are the BEST and also deserve the BEST!! <3

OMG! You look 1000% better and healthier I don't see a little old man anywhere! Good for you...

Sounds to me like you guys need to have a real heart-to-heart. In my psych eval we covered this... weight loss just like weight gain can put a strain on any relationship... that she had it too though her reactions really surprise me.. You guys may need some kind of couples counseling to actually fetter out what is bothering her and why she isn't as enthused about the new you....because I doubt it will just go away on its own.

I've got a NSV for you Joe ... You probably look much better in that Cooper than you did six months ago ....

First thing pick your head up and be very proud of yourself. You should be skipping around not depressed. Also you do not look like a old man, You look good, not to skinny either. Remember people will always have something to say. Just love yourself and so what makes you happy and healthy. Congrats to you. You look amazing!
