weird milestone

I know we shouldn't compare ourselves to others. But....whose kidding, we do. SO..... that being said. I weigh less than my husband, today . I only weigh once a month, just try to follow the rules and exercise. Today, it had been a month so....I weighed and I officially weigh less than my husband whose always been muscular(buff). I was laughing because he did a BMI at work and they said he was in the overweight catagory, then they took one look at him and said it didn't take really muscular people into consideration. Anywho, I still have a ways to go, but I'm getting there. Based on what they told him, I'm not gonna try to be normal just healthy. Follow the rules, it seems to work for me.

Hi Beth, it always makes a woman feel better when she weighs less then the hubby. I think you are doing great and shoule be really proud of yourself. I know I am proud of you. I started on PT this week. Clothes that I was busting out at the seams are 3" too big in the thighs, shirts are hanging on me now, and I've gone from 3x (26/28) pants are now done to 22 waist and their lose in the thighs. I thank God every day for giving me this chance to become healthy. I have a hard time still getting in all my water, and protein, and I can't handle 3 meals a day yet because of the chemo. But after 7 weeks and losing 47.5 lb and a lot of inches, I feel I'm doing ok. At least I don't have to take my power chair with me every where. Can't walk more then 15 minutes on a treadmill, but it will come when I am stronger. Put Hubby on your diet. LOL Love ya, and best of luck to you, Kathy

Wow Kathy, your weight loss is superb, but I want you to take care of yourself first and foremost. It is great to feel like you could swim in your clothes (i.e. they're floating around you). I'm ready to make a trip back to a trift store. I'm not ready to invest a lot of money in clothes that wont fit soon. Keep us informed. Beth

Not weird at all! I've never weighed less than my husband and like Kathy said, women don't like weighing more than their husbands. It sounds like you're doing a great job! Keep up the good work. April
