HE DID! Ugh! He lost 25 pounds. Me? 1 pound. Guess who prepared all the healthy foods? Wiped out the entire kitchen and replenished with healthy foods? ME!

I'm happy for him.

    You are the keeper of the kitchen which means you are probably in it what seems like 24/7 in addition to always planning meals, in grocery stores, cooking, serving and then back in there taking care of snacks, lunches...on and on. Been there and I was the same, looking after the family's nutritional needs and leaving little time for my own I felt I could not escape being around food and ate all the wrong things. Stick with MFP, you'll see results I'm sure!!!

    The men develop muscle mass and drop pounds much more quickly than women do! It's so unfair, but hang in their and you'll achieve your goals eventually! DO NOT let it get you down and send you to the pantry!

    Yep, me too! I am the one on the calorie restrictive diet for 2,5 weeks now. I've lost 4 lbs and watched every calorie. My husband could have beer and alcohol with friends as well as he ate 3 times more then me on weekends,- he lost 7 lbs!

    It is so easy for them. It does not seem fair. I introduced mine to this place and to exercise and he is down like 20 pounds in two months. He just cut back a little and boom the pounds fell off.

    Men drop weight like crazy! My husband could lose 5 pounds a week but just eating a little less each week and no exercise. Myself...I have to go to the gym 4-5 times a week just to lose 2 pounds! Not fair.....that's for sure. But keep up the effort....the weight will come off. I was also told that it takes 6-8 weeks to really get into shape. After that your body really starts to burn the calories.....so good luck! :flowerforyou:
