Introduction

Losing weight is a challenge for anyone, but it's even better when you're doing it with your loved one. Reddit user 'funchords' shares how they and their husband lost a total of 153 pounds together in just a year. They talk about their journey together and how they did it.

Calorie Counting

For 'funchords' and their husband, calorie counting is their primary tool in their weight loss journey. They log all of their food intake and make sure they are eating a balanced diet. 80% of the time, they eat their regular foods and are mindful of the amounts. They mainly tweaked the food choices to reduce calorie intake. Logging brought awareness, enabling them to control their intake.

Walking

Walking regularly helped them lose the weight as well. They mostly walk individually, but about a third of the time, they walk together. It's a great way to get some exercise while enjoying each other's company. They also hike occasionally, adding some variety to their routine.

The Importance of Having a Partner

When you're trying to lose weight, having a partner who shares the same goal and supports you is highly beneficial. The couple's shared journey made it much easier for them to stay motivated and accountable than if they were doing it alone. Plus, it's a great way to bond with each other and strengthen the relationship.

Conclusion

Losing weight is hard work, but it becomes enjoyable when you have your partner doing it with you. Thanks to the support of each other, 'funchords' and their husband lost a remarkable 153 pounds together in a year. They hope to inspire other couples to embark on a healthy lifestyle as well. With calorie counting and walking as their foundation, they are both happier and healthier than ever before.
