In my experience this is a no-win conversation, for anyone involved until your husband decides that he want to lose weight on his own. And will likely end in hurt feelings, harsh words, and feelings of inadequacy. My advice would be to lead by example......you work on you, and let him see how much better you feel, how good…

@AnnPT77 I didn't mean any offense, and I apologize. I guess I should have used something else as an example. And I didn't mean to insinuate in that particular example that someone is more likely to die if they can't keep up a positive attitude while going through a cancer battle. It never crossed my mind that way. So…

I typically do not eat my exercise calories back; I use those calories as a buffer for logging inaccuracies. Take yesterday for example. I ran 3.1 miles yesterday and ate right about 1600 calories, but I didn't log the ketchup I used with dinner or the lite western dressing I had at lunch. So, my exercise calories make up…

I agree with what the both of you are saying @kbrown1527 & @BZAH10, in that you can will your self to win the lottery directly. @BZAH10 I perfectly understand what you are saying as it describes my in-laws as well. Example my mother in-law has minor osteo-perosis. (Which is a real thing, and she probably does have it). But…

HAHAHA!!!!! I never even thought of that!!!!!! Thanks!!!!

How much time has passed since you stopped working out? And how much weight are we talking? I know from personal experience when I was lifting, if I had to take a break for month or so, I would lose 8-12 pounds pretty rapidly. like over the course of 2-3 weeks. But then when I started lifting again it would come back…

So, I am a little different than most people when it comes to lunch because if I'm not at work I typically don't eat lunch. Meaning on the weekends I usually skip lunch because I know that I am going to have a bigger dinner. Usually, because I have time to fire up the smoker or make some elaborate meal on the weekends. But…

Really all this program is telling you is that you can eat what you want when you want you just have to move more and not eat over a certain amount. Basically what MFP does for free.

I tend to not eat back any of my exercise calories because I don't trust any of the calorie burn estimations weather its MFP or my tracker estimation. Also, I feel that it gives me a little wiggle room if my tracking were to not be quite on point. I do however pay attention to how I feel more than anything, If I have a…

Eggs are a primary staple for me especially when life gets busy. I have them for dinner at least twice a week. I often make either scrambled or over easy with toast with butter and strawberry jam on it, and a glass of milk. All-time favorite way to make eggs is in a ham and cheese omelet!!!!!! 10/10 could eat every meal of…

Thanks!!!! Yes the amount of energy and stamina I have now is unreal. and I feel 100% better!!!!

Thank you!!!!!!! That largemouth in your profile picture aint no slouch either!!!!!!!

Thank you!! All these pictures were taken on an annual fishing trip. Its usually a pretty good week!!!!

On January second I was at my cabin cutting wood and our four wheeler blew up so I had to do it the hard way and pull the blocks out of the woods in a sled through a foot (maybe a little more) of snow and it damn near killed me. I was completely shot at the end of the day. And sitting in the cabin that night I got to…

So my only question with that would be......what exactly are you going to eat.....ice cubes? LOL J/K

Pork loin with potatoes(or rice), and carrots and onions in the instapot. Add some water, and season to your liking. I use salt, pepper, typically roasted garlic/herb blend, and some kinda spicy seasoning. Right now Im liking kinders black cherry chipotle rub. And pressure cook foor 30-45 min. Pork should fall apart and…

Thank you everyone for your time and thoughts on this!!!!!

@AnnPT77 I was hoping you would answer this.....you always have great advice and very well thought out responses!!!!! So, thank you!!!' I should clarify a few things here.....my wife and I have a very good marriage and for the most part communicate pretty well. This just happens to be one of the things that we struggle to…

See that's how I feel too! I just don't see how anything I do, short of making a dinner/lunch/breakfast at home that would be counter intuitive to weight loss. Personally, I'm not doing this so I can get a pat on the back or some other form of recognition. I main driving factor was that I couldn't keep up with my…
