New motivation and inspiration

I have great news- my husabnd (Ben) has decided to jump on the weight loss wagon with me!! I am soo excited. He has been trying to loose weight for as long as he can remember, but I think this time he is totally committed. He is going to weigh in with me every week!! Yesterday we cooked a huge pot of zero point weight watchers soup so that we can grab a bowl of that when we feel peckish. We have little prizes that we will get if we actually accomplish our goals by April 2011 and maintain our new weight for at least one month (this was my husband’s idea, so I am going with it). He will get a knock off scooter (like a vespa, but not a vespa- too expensive) to get around Brisbane, and I will get a 3 day backpacking trip into the wilds of Australia and a new pack. When I stepped on the scale last week and the number was over 200 for the first time in my life and I was scared- I think maybe he saw this- and he knows that I am scared for his health as well as mine, so maybe that’s why he is joining me. Cheers to a healthier future for us all.
