Who we are and why we are here:

'He' started out at 450 lbs. 'She' started out at 300 lbs (although had been as high as 330 lbs at one point). Between them they've lost weight, gained weight, and learned a lot along the way.

What you'll find here are our educated thoughts, opinions, and tips for a healthier lifestyle. 'He' minored in psychology, 'she' majored in history - two research heavy fields that have made them both skeptical and able to weed through the sludge in order to find gems. Neither of us is perfect by any means, but as much as possible, we will try not to lead you astray with unfounded, sensational, or fad information.

We are intentionally avoiding fad diets, expensive meal plans, and other extreme (expensive!) weight loss plans.

Update

Things are going okay. I'm able to go for walks again and have been eating the best I can whilst keeping up my iron, protein, vitamin B, etc. I feel better which is great, but I haven't stepped on the scale for several days.

Sometimes it's better not to do so. I would gauge from my body that I could not have gained more than a a few pounds. Clothes fit okay so maybe very little at all. I'm not worried. I intend to give myself a week to cleanse and get back on the activity scale, and then I'll worry about pounds.

The main point is that I feel active again! I went out and about to run errands yesterday. Sadly, I didn't judge well and by the time our evening plans rolled around, I felt terrible and had to go home early. Well, I have plans for today that will hopefully be easy enough and tomorrow I can rest again. It's difficult to find balance, but it will be so much easier to feel like myself now that I can leave the house. Having said that, I probably just cursed myself into having problems. {sigh} oh well. Have to take chances!
