I've lost 50, my husband has lost 60. He's at his goal weight, I still have another 35-40 lbs to go.

This past week marked the one year anniversary of doing weight watchers, that really helped get our diets in check. Other than that, really just making it a point to exercise a lot, usually 5-6 days a week, no matter what. In the summertime or when it's nice, we do a lot of hiking and cycling. Now that the weather is getting worse, I have been doing a lot of group classes at my gym (spin, zumba, step, s.e.t. (weight training/cardio), etc). I usually reserve one day that's not horrible out to do some sort of outdoor exercise, whether it be getting on my bike or attempting to jog (still can't do more than 3 miles without feeling like i'm dying).

So yeah, eat a little less, move a little more It doesn't hurt that my hubby used to be a chef before he broke his leg in a bicycle accident about a year and a half ago. He's been my saving grace. I cannot cook for the life of me, and he has learned how to cook healthy for the both of us. I used to eat fast food every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. And exercise? Forget it. I would commute a whole mile each way on my bike or walk my dogs around the block, and that was the extent of it. It has basically been a complete 180 with our entire lifestyle.

I still eat junk food from time to time, I have a small addiction to McDonald's nuggets and fries (I know, I know, they're terrible), but the main thing for me was really learning portion sizes. I weigh and measure EVERYTHING so I know exactly how many calories I consume. I wear a HR monitor and journal my info every single workout. I don't feel like it's a diet, it's a lifestyle change for sure
