[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

My DH is morbidly obese and I am doing everything I can to help him.  (Working on healthy diet, exercise with trainer, etc.)  I'm interested in whether anyone has a recommendation for a medical weight loss center or a nutritionist who is also an MD -- not for a prescription for weight loss meds, but more so for a doctor's monitoring of his weight loss efforts and ability to have regular blood work done (he's not pre/diabetic but there is strong family history).  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated![/quote]

OP, I just wanted to say-good for you! It is very difficult to lose weight without the support of your significant other. DH lost 50lbs and I lost 40lbs and we have both kept it off for a  few years now. We could have never done this if both of us were not on board.  We both fully support each other's exercise habits (by juggling the kids morning/evenings often alone) and we hardly ever try to tempt the other with suggesting eating a unhealthy dinner.  We both do a TON of meal prep on Sunday nights for the upcoming week, so we are never in a pinch and find ourselves in the drive through.

An unexpected result is this has really strengthened our marriage. We are so fit now and often will get a babysitter simply to go on a long hike or a long run.  It is really nice to be healthy together.  Plus we are simply more attractive to each other, which was quite the pleasant surprise in the bedroom:-)

keep at it![/quote]
