So, I want to have a little mini celebration. I've lost 16 pounds since I've started counting calories the second week of January. My fiance has lost 20 pounds. We both have much more energy and his knee, back, and neck isn't hurting any more. I also don't sleep all the time, which is great since I like to get a minimum of 9 hours of sleep a night.

The short story to how I (we) got here. My fiance and I started gaining weight when we met and started dating. We finally were both happy, in love, and had someone to eat out with. So, that is what we did. We ate out (almost) every single day. We've been together now for six years and I've gained 50 pounds and he's gained 40-50 pounds.

Anyway, I just wanted to say, "Yea for me!" I'm on one slippery slope I don't mind being on.

Initial Weight: 165
Current Weight: 149

Yea for you! great job.

your story sounds like mine. been with my husband for over 7 years (dated for 6, married almost 2). gained 25 pounds since I met him. recently gone from 163 to 149 since september '07. (not as fast as you) and I think the main thing is that we eat in so much more! Eating out can be so unhealthy!
