Good luck. This is the 1st week that I have been trying to increase my calories. I have always been around 1100- 1200. Trying to slowly move up to 1600-1800. It's not easy.

Is your wife overweight? Possibly she is just very "jealous" of your weight loss and now showing her emotions in other ways. Just a thought? I hope this makes sense.

I have been working with a trainer and she is having me lower carbs to 40%, 30% fat, 30% protein. I have not weighed in yet this week (I only weigh once a week) so can't tell if it has made a difference or not. Maybe something to consider.
