My name is Rebecca I am 319 lbs and I want to lose 120 (to start with). I have a real hurdle though, I have NEVER liked fresh vegetables. And my husband won't eat any veggies except corn & carrots. Everytime I try to make something new he gets upset with me. So if I can get some advice on how to get over this hurdle please help me out :)

I am walking every day, and eating more chicken, and counting my calories. I KNOW I can do this! I am motivated and determined. But I know I can use all the help I can get too!!

    Hi Rebecca,

    I am in the same boat. I find I can eat vegtables if they are in a sauce, stew, hotdish or cassarole.

    Hi Rebecca! Have you ever tried roasting your fresh veggies? It gives them a whole different flavour. Drizzle just a bit of olive oil on them and add some herbs and roast in a hot oven. YUMMY! As for hubby, I have no advice there....mine loves all the stuff I try to avoid! I loved broccoli and he doesn't. So I cook it for myself and fix him whatever he wants. Makes me an extra pan to wash...but oh well.
    Good luck...I'm just starting out here too!

    Hi it if you have a facebook account it might be an idea for you to check out Terri Anns diet (thats the page) its hardly any veggies etc... which you are expected to eat and i feel it works only its very low in carbs and i do a lot of exercise so i find that i end up hungry in a few hours on it, i need my carbs! IT might be worth a shot for you though it sounds as if it would work for you

    Hi, Rebecca,
    I need to lose at least 100 pounds, so I'm here for the long run. Will send you a friend request. We can do this together.
    I try to avoid the bad carbs, and eat a lot of veggies. Love them! Keep trying different recipes, and someone old me once every 5 years your taste changes. So what you didn't liked 5 years ago, now maybe taste good. I had that with seafood.

    Thank you ladies :) I bought some fish. I have never cooked fish. I heard that about tastes changing too. :) I love brocolli, peas, green beans, corn, carrots, celery...just none of it raw. Haha. I bought some veggies and I am planning on buying a lot more fresh fruits and veggies next month when I get paid. (I only get paid once a month). I have been surfing pinterest finding all kinds of awesome recipes!!

    Okay, what are the worst things to eat when it comes to carbs??
