Have you tried the 4 hour body? When hubby and I did it we both lost close to 20 pounds each. It's restrictive but you do the diet for 6 days then eat what you want for day 7. I didn't workout at all or follow anything else he said but I kept it off until I went back to my Mexican food. My mom was able to keep it off.…

Yes! Snarkiness is very important! I would love to go someplace where I can be honest about how I feel about this whole getting my doctor to stop yelling at me journey. I have to edit myself because it's just not polite but damn this crap sucks! I'm hungry and my body hurts because I'm now riding a bike. I need someplace…

Thank you for your suggestions! I'm gonna be pulling a bit from here and there throughout this post. Different portion sizes and trying to slowly beef up his lunch. I mainly was just hoping to not have y'all come back at me with the "cook two different meals" response. I think what freaked him out the most is the other day…

It's not that he necessarily gets full before reaching his recommended calorie count, it's that he sees that we're both trying to lose the same amount of weight and when he sees that I'm done for the day he thinks he should be too. For a smart guy he's really not getting the whole "We are different sizes and should eat…

There is definitely a difference with our activity levels! LOL. I'm a full-time student so when I'm not sitting on my butt in class, I'm sitting on my butt in the library or tutoring center. He's a hospital IT guy so that involves quite a bit of walking.

Thank you!:smile:

I followed your link and I don't really get the numbers you're getting. I'm 5ft6in and trying to lose about 50 pounds. I'm just going off of what this site has recommended.

1) Passing tape is an Army thing. You have to fall within a certain height/weight. Even when he was in his top shape it was an issue. 2) his typical breakfast is a green smoothie. It's the only thing that he says can get him going and that he has time for. You've gotta make concessions when you go in at 6. 3) He likes the…

Thanks. I thought it was just me who was creeped out by that.

I could care less about the weight. My goal is to need smaller jeans.

Well crap. I'm new to this and I never thought to take alcohol into account. Now I have to do research on my wine collection? So no drinks tonight. Extra workout tomorrow.

DH has done it in the past and he's tried talking me into it as well. I'm willing to do a 2 day detox but that is as long as I'm willing to go. I like to chew my food. I'm a meat and potatoes kinda girl. Even then it was a pain in the rear to be constantly juicing. I felt like I spent more time in the kitchen those 2 days…

Thank you! I've adopted DH (for Dear Husband) from my crafting blogs.

Spaghetti squash with meat pasta sauce and freshly shaved parmesan cheese. It was our first time eating it and both DH and I were worried about what we were going to eat if it didn't work out! LOL. It. Was. Awesome. And surprisingly healthy. 185 calories, 14g carbs, 17g protein, 7g fat

I'm new to this so yes, I'd like some encouragement besides my husband please. He's onboard now but that'll last about a week. lol
