the husband who mistreats his "temple" on a daily basis has lost like 15 lbs in 2 weeks. his secret? he doesnt eat lunch. he eats a big breakfast (omitting cheese and salty bad for you meats) and eats supper that i cook...and i cook well since im here and all...
WHAT THE MOTHER....
i mean im sorry but i dont hold faith that he'll stick to this, but COME THE FRIK ON ALREADY...im trying like a mother effer doing it the "right" way and he just drops almost 20 lbs by skipping a meal??? *slams head on desk repeatedly* so not fair.

My boyfriend is the same way..he decides to run for a few days a week and he loses 15 pds0

What is that all about!? I hear you 100 percent...0

Don't let it get you down. My husband and I both lost weight this year and of course he lost his way quicker but remember he has to work just as hard as you to keep it off. Men just lose weight faster/easier than women it's something we just have to accept.0

It could be a number of different factors but in the end the results won't last.0

Yep...on vacation my hubby and I ate the same food with the same activity level....he came back 10 lbs lighter...I came back 5 lbs heavier. ARGH0

Guys loose weight a lot easier than women! just sayin... It sucks...0

men's metabolism is way higher than women's in general. He cut his calories and is in turn burning the lbs...we as women have to fight harder. But he may not be getting enough to eat and as you said, that's not right. Its a bummer I know. Im sorry. But you are doing good!0

Oh friend! I feel your boy pain. My hub has to consciously work to keep weight on. Seriously!?!. Who has to eat that much? Evidently he does. LOL!
Slow and steady wins the race! You are making great long term choices and doing great. It's not about how much or how fast you lose it is about the way we improve and treat our bodies !0 -
Life just isn't fair. It just ain't!0

My husband was the same way when he was younger Now he looks like he's going to give birth any day!0

hooray for men !!!!:drinker:0
-
Hehe I second don, hooray for men0
-
I feel your pain too. All my husband has to do is THINK about losing weight and it slips right off. So not fair!0
-
Lol. I know it's not funny but your post was and it made me lol literally. Men always loose fast. My husband walks with me when " he feels like it" and eats what he wants but lost 20 in a month. Agrr.0

hooray for men !!!!:drinker:
Yep! Men rule! :flowerforyou:0 -

It will catch up to my hubby!! Its in his genetics bahaha :laugh:0 -
My husband has always been thin....his whole family is little. It sucks because he eats and drinks whatever he wants to - has candy bars (not like all the time, but maybe once a week) he eats pretty healthy other than that.....but he snacks a lot - like he can eat a 1lb bag of peanuts in a couple days - and he drinks a few beers every single night.
When he thinks hes getting a "pot belly" he just watches what he eats for like a day.......smh.
oh,,,,,,,I hear ya.0 -
A big breakfast is the way to go. Then a light lunch. if he didn't skip that he'd probably lose more. Skipping meals( especially breakfast) puts your body into starvation mode and the body hangs onto its fat reserves. Its not a healthy way to lose weight nor will it last.
Have a big breakfast and smaller meals through out the day remembering to leave a couple of hours bettween supper and going to sleep.....
...and yes. Mens metabolism is way faster which is a pain. ultimatley the competition is against yourself not your husband.
Focus on your own progress and goals.
Also get him to make supper!!! :-)0 -
Hey ladies, please do not compare yourselves with a man. A man has this tendency to lose weight faster than us women, its in their body composition.They have more lean muscle & less fat while us woman have more fat, less muscle. This also explains why it is very impossible for us to have that six pack or bulk up just by lifting weights unless we are doing extensive training & taking testosterone pills. Testosterone has a fat-releasing enzymes however our hormones is made to retain fat. This is because we are made for child bearing & so we need those extra fat for our reproductive system. So sad but true!0
