So my DH has put on quite a bit of weight. Not sure how much because he won't tell me(I remember a thread asking people if their DH or SO knew what they weighed, and it made me laugh because I have the opposite issue). Anyway, it got to the point where he had to buy new pants in a 42, which as I know very well is upsetting, but it still didn't seem to get him going. I know from my own experiences and from reading everything here that you have to be ready on the inside - no external influence can make you ready.
DH had always compained that he didn't think our scale was accurate - he swore his weight would fluctuate 5 lbs. within seconds for him. Didn't for me - I think he just moves around too much. Anyway, I bought a new scale recently because I was losing weight so slowly I wanted one that weighed in .2 increments. I think he finally believes this one because he has made some serious changes. He's been bringing his lunch every day and making a real effort to eat more salads. He's cut way down on sweets and has been asking me to buy yogurt to eat after dinner instead. He's weighing himself regularly and is down 7 lbs. He even came out for a 3 mile walk with me the other night.
Just so proud I had to share. :-)
