I honestly do appreciate all of these replies, it has really helped me out this morning and I needed it. He is not indifferent, he tries to stop me from leaving or starts an argument when I get home from the gym. He has made it so bad that I don't exercise at all on weekends because he's home. I try not to argue with him,…

Thanks, right now I feel like It's better for me to stay because I am with my kids and can take care of them. If I leave, he automatically gets every other weekend and they'll be alone with him and if it's not me he's mad at, he'll find something else.

Thank you for your concern and so far he's never put his hands on me, but I have been afraid before. I am going to enroll in our technical college this week and hopefully will start classes in the fall. I've got to make sure I can provide for my kids before I completely destroy their lives.

First off, congrats! It's amazing that you've done such an awesome job!!! My husband does that with the food also, he buys crap and gets mad at me for not eating it. He wants to go to fast food restaurants and I ask to stop somewhere different for a salad and he gets mad. Most of the time, I'm able to go to the gym upset…

My gym offers childcare, so my kids are with me during all of my gym time. I no longer do bootcamp, just personal training 30 minutes per week. I quit bootcamp when I started training. I workout 1 hour per day 5-6 days per week. I'm normally always home by the time he gets off of work. And my husband races, so I keep the…

I know divorce is inevitable, I just need to get in a place where I can financially provide for them on my own.

I guess I think it's better to stay with him because I've only been allowed to work part-time and I have no way to support us financially. I don't even know how I would afford rent anywhere.

I know :(

Thank you! He won't go to counseling, I've been on my own and she's the one who told me I need to start asserting my independence and finding hobbies that I enjoy. For 8 years, I've done nothing except take care of him and our kids. Maybe I should go back to her, but as you can imagine that was a fight also.

I appreciate everyone's input, and I do try to get him to workout with me to try to keep the conflict down. I have talked to him over and over again, we get nowhere. I realize I do have complete control over my fitness and he does too, I believe that's why he can't stand it... It's just hard when my friends want to meet up…

I'm doing it for me, but when you have a jealous, controlling spouse it makes it difficult to do anything for yourself. It's hard to want to workout when you have to fight every time you want to workout.

I had my gallbladder out 2 years ago, just started really trying to lose weight 6 months ago. In 6 months of bootcamp at my gym, personal training, becoming a runner, and using MFP, I've only lost 9 pounds. My doctor checked my thyroid, but that was ok, I never thought it could be related to my surgery until I started…

I'm 5'6" SW-180 CW-175 GW-140-150

I will start logging my water, I just never fooled with it before! I drink an average of 10 bottles of water a day, sometimes a little more. That is the only thing I drink besides my occasional sweet tea.

From what I understand, most people do eat 20-50% of the exercise calories they've earned back. I tend to eat some of mine back on the days I work out really hard. And I have also been pretty diligent about weighing and measuring all of my food, it's time consuming but in order to track everything, I realize that has to be…

Thank everyone for all of the info you've given me, hope I get this figured out soon! And I've noticed my sodium is outrageous too. I know the Mexican chips and salsa aren't helping that, but the days I haven't had Mexican I don't know what's causing my sodium to be so high... I'm going to see if I can figure it out and…

Thanks for this info! I'm going to read it more in depth once I get my kids in bed!

I've stopped eating any white bread, it's all wheat, even spaghetti noodles are wheat. I'm not following a particular diet but I am trying to eat mostly chicken or 95% lean been, tons of fruits and veggies. The only processed food I have is cereal and nutrigrain snack bars. I only drink 1 cup of tea a day and 8-12 bottles…

I know I won't loose it all in 5 weeks, just wondering what I'm doing wrong since I've totally changed my lifestyle and only averaging 1/2# loss per week.

Maybe I shouldn't be discouraged, but I've actually been doing bootcamp for 8 weeks, so technically I've only lost 5#'s in 8 weeks.

And I'm 5'6" starting weight was 180 and currently weigh 175, 33 yrs old. Also, my thyroid was checked about 5 months ago and it's normal..

Ok, just changed my diary settings it should be public. I normally net 1200-1500 calories every day and sometimes eat back my exercise calories. I'm staying full and feel like I eat constantly...
