Not sure if this is a good success story, but for me it is a step in the right direction. My husband has decided to overhaul the way he eats too, which should help me out even more.

That's fantastic! My husband and I went into this together, too. It's wonderful to have a great support system right there - he keeps me on track!

I started this on my own, and after a month or two when my pants started getting loose my wife said "what's that website you're using?" :bigsmile:

It works very well for us - we cook smart and no fussing about what is on the table (or what ain't :drinker: ). We keep each other honest, we exercise together a lot.

I think it's made us closer. It's a very good thing.

MINE TOOO!!!! i JUST SIGNED HIM UP! I HAVE TO DO ALL THE WORK FOR HIM, BUT I THINK BOTH OF US WORKING FOR A SIMILAR GOAL IS BETTER THAN US BUTTING HEADS OVER WHATS FOR DINNER! :laugh:

Careful Neena.

You're logging his food? If this turns into you being the bad guy, telling him "You can't have that, you're out of calories for the day - put the cookie down!",,, well that'll be real bad.

I would encourage you to get him logging his own food if there's any way to do it.

Sometimes I run out of calories, and it's evening, and I'm hungry. Then I have to make a choice - I can knock out 20 minutes of exercise and "earn" a snack,,, I can make a L&T salad with a dill pickle and fill up on freebie stuff,,, I can make an executive decision to go just a little over that day. Or - I can just tough it out and go to bed hungry (I almost never do that,,, :ohwell: ). That's just how healthy eating is, and it's tough sometimes. But whatever I do, it's always my decision, and always just between me and my food diary - it's never anybody else's fault.

Take care,,, food is emotional stuff. No grown man wants to play "mother may I" with food - it's humiliating and insulting and controlling and just yuck. Get him doing it himself.

((I know my wife's username & password, and sometimes I'll go ahead and log in a meal for her if I cooked and I know what everything is. Sometimes I even fix her plate for her and weigh/measure her portions,,, but this is done out of love, knowing that I'll be more generous than she would be<"yes honey, the turkey really is that light, yes, that's a portion, I weighed it"> I never ever EVER put myself in a postion to tell her "you can't have,,,". It's just bad juju.))
