70 pounds is FANTABULOUS ERICA.  every time i 'hear' you 'say' it....its always like WOW!

That's awesome, congrats on your loss

That is great, 70 lbs is great and keeping it off is even better, what an inspirational team!

The main form of exercise was bootcamp, I started with going 3xweek, then after a month 4xweek and after 3 months, I went 5xweek for 3 months and then dropped back down to 3xweek.  I did this with my husband(he lost 79 lbs) so we really supported each other through out.  We also drastically changed our diets, we didn't go on a diet(tried that a few times and failed miserably) , but changed the way we ate.  We stick with the food guide suggestions and eat from the 4 food groups most of the week, but allow ourselves 2 anything goes meals a week.

Over time we started adding in other activities, my husband trained for and then ran his first marathon this past November, we started doing the Grouse Grind on a weekly basis, building a gym in what used to be our entertainment room and I started and completed the process of become a certified group fitness leader.  And of course now I am training for my first Triathlon and find that person I was just 16 months ago a distant memory..I don't huff and puff going up a flight of stairs in my home, I manage to stuff a lot more into my week then ever thought possible and still have energy at the end.  There have been pitfalls along the way with injuries, but I didn't allow that to be an excuse to fall back into my old ways. This is a great life and I'm going to enjoy it to the fullest!

That is great, you look totally awesome! 

manohpete, SANDRA.

can i relate to what you posted.

your story is just incredible and the fact that you did side by side with your husband, how uber cool is that??

WOO HOO FOR YOU.

WOO HOO FOR HIM!

and may i say,
This is a great life and I'm going to enjoy it to the fullest
absolutely GOLDEN.
