50?

No one figured out the significance behind this number.
I really can't blame you as my clues where quite vague.  
Here's the answer!  You will be impressed!


1) (a BMI of) 33 is equal to 233 (pounds)




2) (a BMI of) 25.9 is equal to 183 (pounds)


Why is Victor's face blocked out of these photos?? 
3 guesses...
a. He is part of the witness protection program
b. He is using a body double and didn't want anyone to know.
c.  While very book smart has not yet realized that when taking photos of yourself in a mirror
it is best to turn off the flash!

3) 11/26/2005

This is our anniversary and only  significance behind this number is when I moved myself and the scale into Victor's house and he started tracking his weight.  

How did he do it??

Well, all the gym rats reading this (myself included) will be a little jealous.
Basically he stopped eating crap and I started cooking for him!
Moe's, chipotle, pizza, ice cream, and chinese take out have been replaced with
healthy nutritious home cooked meals.  

He plays volleyball once a week and runs occasionally but otherwise doesn't spend a lot of time formally exercising. (This is where the jealous part comes in to play!)

How long did it take?? 

5.5 years
He lost the first 35 during the first two years we were married
and then just kind of sat at 200 for a while.
Another 5-7 pounds dropped off during the past 2 years.
The last 5-10 pounds have dropped off since we moved. Apparently, our 
budget has affected his diet more than he would have expected.  For the past 3 months EVERY lunch has been packed, NO treats from the vending machine or coffee shop, and very little ice cream consumption as I have not been buying it (nor has he as he bought most ice cream that was in our house).  The man LOVES ice cream and most likely ate 14-15 servings a week in addition to any other baked goods I may have made.  Cutting 2500 calories of ice cream out of his diet a week has probably been all the change he needed to lose 10 pounds since we moved!  

Anyway I am....

PROUD of your willingness to change your lifestyle

THANKFUL that you are able to keep up with your kids and sassy wife!

GRATEFUL that being 50 pounds lighter means you will likely be around an extra 10 years (which is important since I am almost 8 years younger)! 

CONGRATS Honey - may you be an inspiration to others!

I had a guess that it was related to weight loss but your anniversary date threw me off! So tricky!
