Losing Weight

As I mentioned on Guru's blog, my hubby and I have decided to lose weight together starting on January 2nd. I want to pig out on the first of Jan, so we are starting at the beginning of next week.

I started on a weight lose program the beginning of this year and I lost a total of 52 pounds. I lost most of it using the advice in Dr Phil's weight loss book. I was doing really well, until I started blogging. I used the time that I usually spent walking 3 miles to blog. That is when my weight plateaued. Then I went on a cruise and gained a few pounds. Right after the cruise, the holidays rolled around. So, now it is time to again begin to finish losing the last couple of pounds.

My hubby needs to lose around 80-100 pounds. I am not sure what he has decided upon. He is at risk for diabetes because he is over weight and it runs in the family. He mom had diabetes and his dad and grandpa both have it. He is going to lose the weight for health purposes.

If we do this together, it will be a lot easier for both of us to stick to it. I will keep this blog updated on our progress. If anyone would like to join us, that would be wonderful! We can see who loses the fastest and who loses the most. It would be fun! Leave a comment if you want to join the challenge.
