Welcome Kristin...it is the whole guy girl thing...they are just genetically geared to lose weight because they have more muscle.
My advice...read the Tortoise and the Hare! If you eat right and excercise you might not lose as much or as quickly but it will stay off and you will feel great!
BTW...if you are competing...it is not fair to go by pounds lost...go by percentage!

I work for a weight loss company and the men always lose faster than us females. Has a lot to do with testosterone, muscle, or overall built. Plus they don't hold onto H2O like us or have the monthly cycles and hormone chemical changes. Lucky them right? No way! Men tend to lose fast but put on weight even faster, because they think "Hey I can eat whatever I want and lose it just like that". While that maybe true, men can pack on the lbs faster than us. Yay! So HA! take that you men out there!
Good luck by the way, but please don't get discouraged if he loses faster. My advice for you is CARDIO! It's a good burn and if you're doing weight training, light weights and lots of reps. Don't worry about bulking up, you don't have enough testosterone in your body for that. And last but not least have fun with it! Oh and drink 64oz of water a day, that seems to help.0
