John and I lost seven pounds this week.  He lost 4 and I lost 3.  He has lost a total of 18.5 pounds.  Isn't that amazing?  I am so proud of him.  I know I say that a lot on here, but it is so true.  He has always loved to eat sweets.  After every dinner, he had to have a "tasty dessert".  Now he has apples with cinnamon in his Healthy Choice meal at lunch, and maybe some salsa after dinner.  I never thought he would be able to go without his sweets, but he has really done a fantastic job of sticking with his commitment to get healthy.  Now if I could do something about the parts of me that are shrinking that I do not necessarily want to shrink.
