Welcome Big Johnson. You can do anything you set your mind to. I have been married 12+ years and my husband started out @205 and now he says he is on the "light side of 250". He doesn't know it but sshh "he's on the beach too" hehe I fix him dinner and occasionally lunch when he will take it. God only knows what he eats for breakfast. He always waits until I start losing good and then joins in because as you may know, guys lose weight alot faster than us ladies. So good luck, you are off to a great start because you have an awesome partner in Bully.
