Weight loss wager with hubby!

Set a bet with my husband! Both have similar weight loss goals. I win = new wardrobe (May not seem like a big deal... But I'm a mom who puts everyone else as #1 priority, and rarely spend on myself) hubby wins= $1000.00 snap on tool spending spree... Looking for motivated, competitive friends to help me kick my hubby's bum!

    Can you send me your hubby's MFP account name? Then I could help him win and borrow his tools!!! :laugh:

    He doesn't have one. He's just doing it the old fashion way. Eating what his wife cooks and exercise

    Since you say you're doing the cooking you could always sneak some extra calories in his food with butter or heavy cream, that way he won't win. Just kidding :laugh: (bets bring out my evil side because I hate losing). The bet sounds like so much fun. It's so motivating!!!!! Best of luck. I know you'll beat him the right way.

    I laughed at this, because if my wife ever wanted to get me back for any (many?) of the stupid things I do on a regular basis, I once joked that this was the way she could do it, and I'd never be the wiser!

    Lol!! I'm not that mean. I honestly wouldn't be heartbroken to lose... By only a few lbs! I want to see my hubby healthy. I miss when we were healthy and active together. I sneak veggies into everything! And most of our food is made from scratch and organic. We live on an acreage so we make most of our food. But if he gets too far ahead of me....
