<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

I'[m] 6'5", and my wife is 5'3". We both have been struggling to lose weight, but I've finally "clicked" and have been shedding pounds like crazy. Our highest weights were 260 & 200. She's held at 170 for months now, and I seriously think I'm going to hit my goal weight around Christmas (165). I'm worried that she's going to be mortified to weigh more than her husband who's more than a foot taller.

She's the type who keeps saying "well, the scale hasn't gone down, but these pants were tight a month ago!". The problem is, her weight hasn't gone down a pound in about a year, and she keeps claiming to be making progress. She also is giving up smoking, restricting alcohol consumption, and about to be opening a new restaurant; now is NOT the time to push her on the weightloss thing.
<bot>: I'm a foot taller than my wife and she's not progressing and I'm going to weigh less than her soon. How can I help her not become super depressed/angry/crazy?
