Got married, gain 10 lbs. oops :)

Looking for any friends! I gained about 10 lbs in a few months (leftover cake!!! :sad:). I've been counting calories for about 3 years with success, and fell off the wagon. Back at it now and ready to rumble. Set my goal for my high school weight, but I'd be okay with losing 15 and seeing how to go from there. It's all in the bootay, yaknowhatimssaaayin'

Friend up, y'all! :drinker:

    Oh man! It must be all those home cooked meals. ;) I definitely eat more with him here. But, I'm gonna fight it!! I know he's gained too, but at least he's got an active job. -- ty ;)

    Cooking for him, instead of eating broccoli with a leftover piece of what-have-you from yesterday's meal. I used to eat a lot of random things for dinner... and I'd exercise more after work, but now I spend time with him instead.

    With me, we ate out a lot. Both during the dating process, and at the first part of our marriage. Luckily my employer started a weight loss program that will save me money on insurance if I lose weight. That was a good motivation to get back on track.

    yes eating out is really what did it for me too. Also it does not help when your partner loves all things fatty and unhealthy and easily pulls you into this.
