The Beginning

Hi...my name is Jamie. I created this blog to journal the changes my husband and I are making in our lives. I will be posting a lot of experiences with our weight loss journey along with recipies and tips for success. My husband and I have been married for almost 6 years and we have both been overweight for most of our adult lives. This has been a struggle that has marred our lives but we are sick and tired of only halfway living our lives to our fullest potential. We are ready for change. There will be ups and downs during our journey, but we are committed.
Last week Steve and I went to an informational meeting regarding Bariatric surgery. Steve was told by his doctor a few years ago he should consider this in order to prolong his life. At age 50, Steve has made up his mind that this is what he wants to pursue, not only for health, but for quality of life. Being his support person, I know we are in for a long road ahead, but am totally committed to helping him through this. This will also be a life changing step for me in that I will change my eating habits along with Steve. We both are not very healthy right now. Steve is 50 and I am 40...life is short. We want to enjoy the rest of our lives. We are ready for change. This blog will follow our "Journey into Weight Loss". You will see the before and after and all our struggles in getting there. Stay tuned.
