My wife and older daughter don't really ask me anything about my weight-loss or how the gym was. There are friends/acquaintances that do. I am inspired by the people that I see at the gym on a regular basis even though I have never formally met them.

Thanks for all the great ideas! There aren't usually alot of leftovers, but that is an idea. I was thinking about Protein powder. That would be good to add to things. Also nuts. Protein is one thing that I never get enough if during the day.

Source of friction: i like to plan/other members do 't., i like to have a variety of fruits/veggies and rest of family is content to ear same limited ones over and over (they eat limited fruits and veggies), We grocery shop irregularly (i.e. Not same day or on regular basis), they don't like certain ingredients i. Their…

My wife, two daughters and I tend to eat most of our meals at different times die to our schedules. My wife doesn't really cook and neither does my older daughter (although she is learning). They tend to eat more processed food and few veggies/fruits. I prefer less prepared food and fresh veggies/fruits, especially since i…

We both take care of our daughter and share in the hiusehold chores, etc. There is a nurse who,tajes care if our yiunger daughter after school 4-10, 5!days a week, but she isn't as dependable as she used to be.

Thanks everyone for all your comments and support! I enjoyed reading them. I AM doing it for myself. Even though it's been two months, I still can't believe that I am going to the gym religiously and work so,hard on eating healthy. I never was an athlete or participated in sports (except when I ran when I was in my 20's).…

Sorry. I was very lucky to win the gym membership in a contest. It was a godsend because I've wanted to joina gym for years, but was necer able to because of the cost. I desperately needed to lose weight amd get in shape in order to prevemt recurrent injuries (i.e. Lower back, knee, ankle). Working out at home hasn't…

Thanks!

Haven't learned about using the free weights yet. I have some biomechanical "issues" that must be resolved before I can start using the free weights. My trainer discovered these issues when we were working out. It's nothing new. I had been advised about these issues in the past by various medical people (orthopedist,…
