Great job for both of you! Congratulations! 
Been on the weight loss trek myself... over the last two years it's been about 18 kgs... Now I'm very happy, and have to keep it there. It's a life long life change. But feeling better for it.
Congrats. It seems like everyone can lose, but the real challenge is keeping it off.
I never had a weight problem as a kid or a young man. It was not until we had some real challenges, frustrations and problems in raising 2 kids with profound disabilities that we turned to food as a crutch.
A little of that has settled down, now, so perhaps we can win this time.
Better than drugs, alcohol or smoking, though.
