    Hi there

    I am new too :wink: How about asking him to either cook with less calories or let you cook a couple of times a week ... Every little helps :happy:


    Try going for a walk together after each dinnerl and work some of the calories off ... nice and romantic too :love:

    Hi, and welcome to THE best site on the web! :flowerforyou:
    Between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it! :wink:
    I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off! :noway:
    Don't go making the mistake that if you have LOTS of numbers left at the end of the day that you'll lose even faster, because that DOESN'T happen. Feel free to read any info about the site in the "help" section at the top of the home page. And also, under "all topics", then "general", and check out the first few threads. They'll really help you understand how MFP works. :smile:
    Before coming here, I had tried just about EVERYTHING out there, including hypnosis, TWICE, and nothing really worked until MFP! :love:
    Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:

    I have lost about 22 pounds in 3 months using the South Beach eating plan. I love to cook and this is definitely a cook's diet. This is the best plan I have found so far... very healthy, very easy to follow! Best of all, after the first two weeks you can have whole wheat pasta and bread. A lot of people think South Beach is a low carb diet, but I feel it is much more of a "right Carb" plan. Although it does not require you to count calories, I think this site is great to keep track of everything you eat. Good Luck!

    P.S. If your husband likes to cook, he should enjoy trying some great new recipes. You can find lots online, or go with one of the books!
