    Don't try to compete with him. Men lose weight faster because they have a higher percentage of muscle than women. Muscle will burn calories at a higher rate than fat. If you think about it, you are losing the same, maybe not in numbers, but in the fact that he has more muscle. If anything, think about how much more energy you will have to play with your child and how much better you will feel and look at the end.

    Never compare yourself to anyone else when it comes to weight loss. Everyone is built differently and people do things differently.

    Take care.

    Thanks! This is the stuff that I need to hear!! Congrats on your tremendous weight loss as well!!

    Add me! I am fairly new to the site myself and need some additional motivation. I do so good during the week with diet (or my attempt at dieting) and exercise and then when the weekend comes, i blow it!!

    I have found this site helpful, it is a real awakening to see how many calories you are acutally eating!!

    GOOD LUCK!!

    Oh my goodness, I am the same way! Weekends are soooo hard!! Eating out is so tempting and really hard to find good for you food! I got the way I am from eating out! I am hoping to find a compromise to eat out less, but still eat out some but better choices!! Good luck to you too!!!
