Hubby said I can share this

Since I started my weight loss journey 2 years ago with my first surgery, he decided to change his eating and exercising habits. I lost 200 pounds in 2 years, he lost 66 pounds in 2 years. We're both absolutely thrilled

My A1c went from 7.9 to 5.0, no more more high bp or diabetes or high cholesterol (mine went from 249 to 170). His A1c went from 12.8 (yes you read that right) to 5.9, no more high bp, and his cholesterol went from 266 to 194.

I went from a size 30/5x to a size 14/XL. He went from a size 52 waist to 42. And from a size 3x shirt to XL.

And we go on 3+ mile walks together twice a week and he works out for an hour to an hour and a half twice a week with me (I work out above and beyond that). He's changed about 80% of his eating habits. He's more confident and happier, as am I .

It certainly helps when you have a supportive spouse that wants to better themselves because they see you doing well and get inspired. That's what he told me

Amazing progress. Both of you!! Keep it up.

You both have knocked it out of the park. You do both look younger, but more than that you both look happy and kind of like you hold yourselves with more confidence? Serious kudos to the both of you.

Thank you We both really do have more confidence, but especially my husband.

I wasn't always heavy. In high school and up until I had my son I was a size 6 and very athletic. So I knew how it could feel to be healthy and look good, I just never thought I'd get back there again.

My husband was always heavier, so this is new to him. Seeing him hold his head up when he walks instead of looking at the ground, seeing him able to shop in ANY store instead of specialty ones....it's been amazing.

For some comparison, the first 2 pics are of me in high school (age 17 in 1996, right before I graduated and turned 18) and the second 2 are of me now, 2 days away from turning 46

Great job by both you and the hubby! It's so important to have that kind of support from the people closest to you. I think the hardest thing is when you have someone in your household who either doesn't get on board or is actively working against you to keep you from success. I look back on a time in my life when that was the case and know I would not have been able to do this like I am now with the support of my family and closest friends. Way to go!
