I'm sort of going through this from the other side if you will? I'm the husband, and I've been doing my best to lose weight (it is working overall). Here is the thing, my wife also needs to lose some weight (god I hate saying things like that). I love that woman with every breath I take, and I'll love her no matter what either of us weighs. The thing is, I know we'd be able to do more, and enjoy life more if we both took better care of ourselves.
How do I gently push her in that direction, without sounding like I'm telling her what to do? I'll be her biggest cheerleader when she's moving forward, and her biggest support group on the occasions when she falls (we all do!!).
On another note, your keeping a great diary. I'll be following it when I check in. don't keep your feet flat!!
