As of 4/12 it has been one year since Emily and I started our healthier lifestyles. We have both lost a lot of weight and feel a lot better too. People always ask me "What are you guys doing to lose so much weight?" the trick for me is my wife; she has been cooking healthy food for the past year. She exercises a lot but I don't always, but I've still lost weight consistantly just from eating better. We also live by the 80/20 rule, that is eating healthy 80% of the time and still eating "bad treats" and fatty food etc. 20% of the time, I think this is the only way to go, so you can stick with eating healthy without going crazy. We do this easily by just setting aside one sometimes two days to eat "bad"(not usually the whole day but 1 or 2 meals) and then eat good the rest of the week. Emily just plans our menus out of Light and Tasty magazines each week and they are actually really good, we don't even really watch portions very good, but anyways here's my numbers I guess they speak for themselves and the pics too. (The only place I haven't lost any inches is my ankles...I'm still working on that!) Numbers are from mybodycomp.com we been taking measurements throughout the year.

Good for you. I wish I'd taken my initial measurements, too. Just keep working on those cankles (cankle n. The word used to describe when one has a calf to ankle ratio of 1:1; very large calves connected to chubby ankles.) Your socks will thank you.
A picture is worth a thousand words! IYou look great and I know Emily looks great too. Thanks for being great examples and motivators!!
Smokin' hot, Tom! I'm glad we decided to lose weight together. It made it so much easier! And I'm glad you liked my cooking, or at least pretended to!
Emily's stats:
Total weight lost - 37.4 lbs.
Total inches lost - 40 inches (including 3/4 in. from my ankle!)
Wow! Very impressive.
I loved this post--especially the title. They should give you a subscription to Light and Tasty for the free advertising.
Great job! I think you both should send your photos into the Light and tasty magazine. They have that section on weight loss success stories.
if you don't post again soon, "Loser" is going to take on a new meaning. By the way, I got some new guy workout videos at the library so I'll let you know if they're good. I did one last night that I liked pretty well. One of them is called the "Chubby Hubby Workout".
