I just showed their pics to my husband. We married just a couple months after they did, both of us weighing in just under 400 lbs each. I've lost about 40 lbs, and hubby initially lost, but regained after he was unable to work (his job was extremely strenuous). He's trying to diet again, but is easily frustrated because he cannot do much physically.

That is a great story!

Kaplods, if all he can do is walk for 10 minutes, then have him do it. He can build up from there.

I can relate to the story...DH and I have lost a total of 222 lbs. When we go to see his folks in Sept., they are gonna freak out!! It's kinda funny, one month he has to go buy new clothes and then the next month I have to go buy new clothes. When I do laundry-I'm thinking "where the heck did this come from?" Hopefully we have postponed the grim reaper for awhile.
