Thank you all so much for your input - it really is helpful! I think I will allow a full cheat day once a week...but put a cap on the calories so I don't go overboard. I think that will help with feeling deprived and as if I'm missing out on fun with my family. I'd rather lose slower and enjoy life than eat perfect and…

I actually can REALLY relate to your situation. I am grown and married but my family enjoys eating all together and my Husband with a good heart is always subtly sabotaging my efforts. Does it make him a bad guy? Not at all...and I know he doesn't outright want to see me fail...he just wants to enjoy with me the same…

I am so with you. You have really great suggestions. I have even employed some of them! I have come up with a few desserts that certainly taste like cheat foods but they are pretty darn healthy. It is really working. I think you're really on to something there when you say that once I start to make some new and delicious…

I really hear what you are saying and I really do think you have got something there. My Husband is a great guy - but he is a stinker. We have made attempts to eat better together in the past and he at one point had lost quite a bit of weight...but he isn't very open to new kinds of foods and that can be difficult. This…

I can completely relate to what you've gone through. I lost around 80 pounds as well years ago - and when I was pregnant with my first child I decided it was free reign to eat...I never stopped! I got to as high as 20 pounds more than my highest ever weight. I've lost about 27 pounds total (26 before joining MFP) and am…

spolan - I totally relate to your situation!!! I have a bit more to lose than you - about 60 to 65 pounds - but my Husband LOVES fast food, fried food, and has a sweet tooth too! We sort of bonded over eating together, so it's a hard habit to break. We're getting there though. I'm learning not to give into temptation as we…

Thank you Shonnie! I'm doing well so far - it's just a matter of keeping it up. *Fingers crossed* :)

Hello there mom of 3 who works from home - I'm also a mom of 3 who works from home! I'm 33, new to MFP, and much of what you shared resonates with me and my life. Diabetes, stroke, and cancer run in the family - and as you say the minor health issues I have experienced to date seem to foreshadow the outlook of my future if…

Hi John, I'm new here too. Congrats on you and the wife working to live a healthier lifestyle together - that is awesome! My Husband wants to watch with me (though we have different philosophies on what is eating good and what's not) and I can vouch that it is so much better when you both are there supporting each other.…
