So obviously, there are a ton of rules and regulations surrounding adoption. Each country has its own set of requirements for prospective adoptive parents. One of the unique requirements China has is that both parents be under a set Body Mass Index (BMI). Greg does not meet that requirement. So what did my husband do? Saw a nutritionist, started eating well, and began going to the gym regularly. When we started the adoption process, Greg was approximately 32 pounds over China's requirement. As of today, he is only SEVEN pounds away from meeting his goal...Ok, I'll do the math for you...that means he has lost 25 pounds in the past three months (with Thanksgiving and Christmas thrown in there, folks!).

Or, to look at it another way...Greg getting his nerd book last Christmas:

I am so, SO proud of him. Please join me in cheering Greg on!
Awesome job, Greg! You can do it.
