Yes, boys and girls...I now weigh less than my husband. I am at 184.8 as of this morning.
I have NEVER weighed less than my husband. I was like in the 170's and he was about 125 back in 1989 when we got married. I've always been bigger. Back in my preggo days all the advise books would say, "borrow a shirt from your husband" while you were pregnant to save some money. That could never happen!!
Granted, my husband is overweight now, but he has always been "skinny" to me.
This just completely freaks me out!!! I love my DS!!!
My oldest daughter has put on a few lbs over the last 6 months or so is a little freaked that I might just get to her size, so she has started working out and watching what she eats a little bit better. She is almost 20, and weighs in the 130's (she is 5 foot).

Now that's a WOW moment. Congratulations--this is truly inspiring. I used to weight less than my husband but after two babies, I was far from his weight. I'm not 10 pounds above him--but catching up! I'll be so happy when he weighs more than me. Thanks for sharing! (Exalt!)

Yay! Welcome to the club! I finally dipped below my husband's weight last month. Now I'm 20 lbs less than him and still dropping. I celebrated by giving him back all the sweatshirts that I had previously stolen from his side of the closet. ;D

 I hope, one day to be in your shoes. When my husband and I got married 25 years ago. I was already 300lbs. He is very tall and thin and at his highest when I was preggo with number 2 he got to about 200 now he's 6' and 180. I can't even imagine weighing less than he. But I AM getting closer and closer to seeing that end.  I've never been able to wear any of his clothes. I would love to sleep in one of his shirts. |

My husband is 6-2 and weighs 180. I am 5-7 and today, 191. I cant WAIT until I weigh less than he does. I have weighed more than him since our first child, 19 years ago.
What does concern me though, is my 16 year old daughter. She is about 5-9, and although she is not fat, she is definitely not skinny. She is bigger boned and is physically very active. There will come a day when I weigh less than her and take a smaller size. We talk about it, and know its going to happen, but I can tell that she is still a bit uncomfortable about it. I tell her she will have a much nicer shape and more muscle than me, but I still worry that others will compare us. Anybody have any experience with that?

Congrats! Even though I weight a few pounds less than my husband now, we wear about the same size (since I'm shorter). It's been nice to borrow some warm clothes to lounge around the house in without having to buy them. It really is a great feeling!

That's got to be so exciting. My husband is 5'6" and weighs 145 at the most....I'm pretty sure I'll never be able to borrow anything of his.

If you don't start to compare I would think others won't either. If they tried I'd tell them real quick "Don't even go there". My daughter and I are shaped completely different, so what I weigh has nothing to do with what she weighs. I'm straight up and down except for my boobs. She has curves I wish I had. I'm just telling you that because you say she is shaped different than you. I really believe that if you don't make it an issue no one else is either. |
