My wife and I have been dieting now for several months. I started south beach with her after seeing her great results. I have lost 25 lbs since we started and have about 60 more to go. I have always been a big guy but progressively gained more and more weight over the course of my marriage and sedentary lifestyle. My goal is to be healthy for my wife and 2 amazing kids. My wife is on here as well and recommended I check out this site. I know how much it has helped her in her weight loss. Her screen name is graciepoo.
