    Thanks for the love! It can be a struggle. One of the big reasons I workout is so I can eat more.

    This was just what i needed to see today! I frequently have jealousy towards my husbands 1900 calories ( i know the breakdown and why it is, i'm just saying). Anyway jsut wanted to say thanks for the kudos, we ladies need it!

    Totally agree. Hubby is around 1800 cal... lucky dog. We started May 23rd. I am at 18 lbs & He is over 35 lbs lost.

    Thanks for someone noticing! I had a baby 20 months ago and never lost the weight. My doctor was concerned cause I weighed the same at 9 months pregnant as I did when I first started to lose weight so he has me on a 1050 calorie a day plan for extreme weight loss. It is really tough staying below that goal so I appreciate you recognizing all we do!

    I think I love you, lol! thanks for the support. It is hard, hard, hard when my husband could eat 1800 and up and lose like a house on fire and it is hard when it takes so long to get those last few pounds off, but so worth it!

    Really makes me wish I was much taller than 5'1 :(

    I've been eating 1500 calories a day and burning off 500 a day. I'm allowed 2000 to lose 2lbs a week. We've all had cheat weeks, well the next two weeks for me are quick lose weeks! Hope I do well!

    *Slow Clap* I totally needed that today, I'm sure others did too! Thank you, OP! My fiance feels a little bad when he sees my precisely weighed portion sizes next to his and is always really encouraging too. I really feel for the one's who don't have someone close to support them. This is what MFP is for, putting a whole village of pals in your corner! Always great to see people with positive things to say in here! Thanks!

    Honestly, I normally don't feel too deprived most of the time, but there are times when it feels like such a balancing act. This thing where I go out and powerwalk for six miles on hills and get... 280 calories, while my husband comes with me and says, "Hey, I get an extra 600 calories for dinner!" Dude, I have to work twice as hard cuz my legs so friggin' short, but you get all the calories? How is that even fair?
