husband losing weight faster and easier

Options
Ladies- why is it that guys are like this? I started my journey a month ago and have lost maybe at most 5 pounds. I'll admit i've had my slip ups but that is why it is a journey. I'm slowly learning and the scale scorns me when I do wrong. I haven't had a soda in over 3 months and it has not helped me whatsoever with my weight loss. My husband stopped drinking soda two days ago and lost 17 pounds. :/ what is that crap!

    17 pounds in 2 days? Did he cut his leg off or something??

    See that is what I mean! He weighed in at 236 starting weight about 16 days ago. He got on the scale this morning and weighed 219. why can't that happen to us.

    Yup, my DH cut back on beer (didn't even stop!) and lost 3kg in 2 weeks.
    Everybody is different, though that doesn't make it less frustrating!

    I think you might need a new scale.

    Seriously, without liposuction I think it's physically impossible to lose 17 lbs in 2 days. It's certainly not fat. I don't even think you'd drop that much water weight. That's over 7% of his body weight.
