Life change...

So DH and I have struggled our entire lifes with being overweight and are just sick of it.  Dh's parents both died before the age of 64 from heart attacks, and my Dad died from guillain barre at 58...so our eyes are open and we're SICK of being like this, and are going to make some life changes. 

Dh's work offers a health coach/nutritionist towards its employees & familys so we intend to meet up with them...I am going to hire a personal trainer at the Y to meet with at least once a  week, and basically its GAME ON!  Our reward (besides health, happiness, and a new wardrobe!) when we meet our goals is to renew our vows in hawaii or malaysia (where we got engaged!).

I'm excited...I'm optimistic, and ready to start this venture with him :)

Re: Life change...

  • Good for you! I know I will offer you support anytime you need it...and I know the other girls will to!

    I need to get my butt in motion also, so does DH, he is making an effort now which is better than nothing I suppose.

  • GOOD LUCK!!!

    DH and I keep talking about how we HAVE TO lose weight, but we haven't done too much about it. we are eating better overall, but still like our treats a little too much?

  • That's great Carrie!  Trust me, I know how hard it is.  I've been losing and gaining my entire life.  I was very proud of myself for loosing over 75lbs, even though I have gained about 20lbs from my lowest point.  I think that is an excellent decission you guys are making and the reward looks even sweeter and will have you sticking to your life change!  GL!
  • i've lost over 100 lbs. before...so I know I can do it...i just have to you know... DO IT!

  • Carrie, I think it's wonderful that you are doing this together and have built in support.  I'm behind you all the way!!!

  • That is great and very exciting!  Renewing your vows is something awesome to look forward to, I wish you the best!

     

    I'm starting WW today here at work, its basically free so its a great incentive.  I have done WW before so I know it works. 

  • I'm sooo excited for you and your DH!!! I'm hoping maybe we can work it out and me and you can walk sometimes (schedules pending) around Rice or something if you want to?!!! i think that would be fun!! You know I support you girly!!
  • Carrie, that is wonderful. I think it's great that the two of you are working towards a common goal. And the reward is awesome.

    I'm still trying to convince DH to get back to the gym. He's put on some weight since the wedding. I've tried every apporach but I know it's one of those things where you don't do it until you're fully commited and ready. And he's not...

  • Carrie, I think that is a great thing to do!  It is really incredible that you and your DH can commit to something so big together too, because it is definitely something that I think you could only achieve with both of you on board.  Good luck and I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you both!!!
  • I agree- committing to this together is SO great. BEST of everything as you work on your new plan and sticking to it. I admire you both. Let us know how things go. You'll be great support for e/o:)
