My wife has lost 10 pounds just by eating mostly what I log. Here I am KILLING myself going to the gym doing beast mode strength training, cardio, Stretching my butt off and she goes to work comes home watches tv eats what I am cooking and loses 10 pounds. She says she LOVE'S my diet. Too funny

That is kind of funny! Especially b/c men usually lose weight more easily! Are you sure you aren't losing fat and gaining muscle?!

LoL Omgosh... My spouse eats like a horse and doesn't gain any fat at all.... GRR. He doesn't give two hoots about health either... my gosh how our bodies differ!!

Yes maybe you are just replacing fat with muscle and not showing a difference on scale. Who knows. I agree usually the men drop like a crazy by giving up one thing and not exercising(probably due to their higher muscle ratio).

Are you having bigger portions than her and not realizing it? Or is she eating the exact portion size as you?

This is so funny!! I love it!

I started this for myself too...and my husband and two teenagers have lost 65 pounds altogether over the past 6 months of me shopping and cooking better.

You know you get to take credit for your wife's 10 pounds too!! LOL

Haha, funny how that works out :P

I'm sure you've lost some inches. Don't lose hope! If you are building muscle mass, then it won't take long for the fat to go.

Ha - mine too! Not only does he eat whatever he wants, he goes out drinking with his buddies all the time. Grrrrr.

If you all were living a not so healthier lifestyle and now you all are cooking and making better selective choices I can see how her body would be shocked by some new variety of nutritional foods.... Kudos to your wife success and you also....

Looks like your down 23 lbs, so your still up on her! My husband has done the same thing, he eats what I cook and has dropped a few pounds too.

I love this MFP because it is not some crazy point counting, no carb diet...so the whole family benefits

getfitdiva

Very true it's all about what you eat that gets the lbs off. Working out in some instances can speed things along. On the other hand if I look at food I gain - go figure. My husband can eat his food and mine and still lose. UGH!

Sweet_Potato

I've only lost 3 pounds in 4 months, and that's with exercise. Maybe I need to start eating what you eat too!

My husband also lost a couple of pounds since we started eating better in our household. He's not even trying to lose weight! But I'm glad my better habits are rubbing on him!
