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 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.
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...
