That's amazing, congratulations! Many people say you have to lose weight for yourself or else you won't make it, but I believe that's not entirely true. Whatever reason you have, if it works, it works.

I decided to lose weight for two reasons that are, in my honest opinion, equally important: for my health and to please my boyfriend. Normally people would say my health is more important than satisfying my partner, but it is also a 'state-of-mind' kind of thing. I could be healthy and not satisfy my partner and it would eventually not make me happy, because it increases the chance of my partner leaving me to find someone who is physically more appealing (which is his right). I could be unhealthy but still be satisfying to my partner, but that would not make me happy, because I will have to confront health issues and my partner should have the best interest in my wellbeing as I have in his. So naturally, being healthy and pleasing your partner are both important things to consider when wanting to lose weight!

I am still on my journey of losing weight and have spent 8 months losing 17 kilos of fat and gaining 1,5 kilos of muscle, so I'm on a good track. I don't have a specific size in mind to reach, as I have never been less than chubby, but I've been feeling more energetic, more appealing and happier so I can imagine I will train more to pursue more happiness :)

Congratulations! Your progress is something to be proud of. You mentioned you feel great at this size and if doing it for your husband was the extra motivation you needed more power to you! :)

Thats great! Keep up the good work! I am also making weight loss strides with 13 lbs down since May 1. Keep on!
