So, my husband (34M) and I (30F) both need to lose weight. I'm in the overweight range, so I don't need to shift a ton of weight yet (~30lbs) to get to my ideal weight. But I've kinda stalled since last spring ater I lost ~15 lbs because of life busyness/lack of sleep (having three kids in 3 years means things are busy and I don't sleep through the night all that much.) I also have MS, which limits how much I can do some/most days so exercise has been scant, aside from chasing three preschoolers.
Anyways, my husband is at a BMI of about 40. He's pretty muscular, but still, he definitely has a ways to go to get back into "relatively healthy" territory. But, he's a real foodie and struggles to control his portion sizes and snacking (definitely an ADHD thing).
But my husband has lost ~15 lbs since his high weight at the end of the summer, partly due to two nasty stomach bugs with COVID sandwiched in the middle. But he's also started on a moderate dose of Vyvanse which does help curb his appetite AND helps him focus with his ADHD, bonus!
He suggested we start with a small fitness goal of 5 situps and 5 pushups a day, in addition to what we're doing with our diet and portion sizes. Yesterday I did 8 sit-ups! Spaced out in 3 different sessions throughout the day, but still! A small step to getting stronger and much better toned!
