Its only by a couple of pounds, BUT its been many years since I can say this!!! I'm so excited! I'm down 30 lbs now!

Since I have been with my husband I weighed more than himI went under him but then looked extremely unhealthy. I got to 136 and he is only 143 lbs. I joined the gym and gained muscle and now I weigh the same as him but he has a big belly. How strange.................

I have never weighed less than my husband, always more. At this point in time I need to lose 12 pounds to be a pound less than him. I can't wait til that day!

Beware: rant ahead--

OK, so I tell DH I've lost 30 lbs, and he says "Great! I've lost such-n-such pounds from working outside...blah blah blah...!" So now, we're the same. But wtf?? Get off my cloud! I tell him its easy for him to lose weight, and he's never had a problem with it anyway. Its a struggle for me, and this is supposed to be MY excitement, not his! He isn't un-supportive, but still doesn't totally get it. When my father-in-law found out how much I lost, he calmly said "Thats substantial." Substantial???!!! Is it just me? Or am I on some other planet???!!! All you guys here are my main support, as you can see, and I thank you!

My DH started dieting when I started the pre-op. Fast forward to today.....he has lost 31 pounds and I have only lost 16, and I am banded!!! Talk about frustrating.
