Wow! fast responses. Thanks so much. Yes, I do eat veggies but veggies seem to be lower in calories and carbs.

He is having better results because he has much more weight to lose than me not because his "diet" is good. We are trying to be heart healthy too and consuming alcohol & snacks instead of healthy food is missing the point.

Welcome! I am about a month into this and just like you someone recommended the website. It has been a very helpful tool in trying to lose weight. I like the food journal because I am able to see where I can cut down any high calorie item to a low calorie item. Good luck on your goal to weight loss!!

Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate it. I am comfortable talking to my husband but when he knows he is doing something "wrong" he tends to get defensive because he does not like facing the facts at hand. Thanks again and blessings to all!

:smile: I have learned if I plan my meals(weekday & weekend) ahead of time, I tend to stick with them instead of going for the easy impulse of "lets go out to eat routine." Chili's is one of the worst places you could go too!! Start by bringing your breakfast, lunch to work and you won't have to worry about going out…

Thanks for the ideas. And yes, space is limited in our gyms(I live in fairly small area). I just joined this website last week and I have gained so much from it already. Thanks to everyone for the support, advice, conversation, and overall helpfulness of everyone.:happy:

I feel as if I wrote that post myself. I am having the same issue, right now. Thank you for your story! :smile:
