In one year, BMoney91 went from weighing 250+ lbs to 150lbs, while his wife went from 185lbs to 147lbs in two years. The best part about this journey is that the couple decided to get healthy together, as a team.

BMoney91 says that the key to losing weight without feeling punished is to keep eating the foods you love but in moderation. They also incorporated exercise into their plan, with BMoney91 training for his third half-marathon and his wife training for her first 10k. Any type of exercise will do, as long as you burn calories.

BMoney91's wife says that it is as easy as just eating less, moving more, and buying a food scale. BMoney91 advises anyone starting on their weight loss journey to have a plan that they can stick to, to make small changes over time, like cutting back on indulgent foods, and to take progress pictures to compare. Seeing progress, even if it's small, can keep you motivated.

Final Thoughts

The best thing about their journey is that it proves that anyone can lose weight; all it takes is a plan, patience, and consistency, as well as support or encouragement from those around us. If they could do it as a couple, you can do it too!
