[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 288710, member: 1233"] Star, It is true that men always lose weight faster than women. It is a hormonal thing, from what my endocrinologist says. You concentrate on the lifestyle change. NOT the weight. My father in law used to gain 10-25 pounds every winter and lose it every summer. SMIL kept wardrobes for him in 2 sizes. He had a very bad heart attack about 10 years ago. It was late enough in life that for some reason it doesn't count toward my husband's heart attack risk. The problem leading up to the heart attack was the repeated gaining and losing of weight. If he had STAYED even 50 pounds overweight it would have been healthier in the long run that his cycle. So you concentrate on FEELING better, not on competitive weight loss!! You are not in the Olympic Weight Loss Competition. ''we want you around for a LONG time, not for just a little while!!! I used to just whap husband on the back of the head when I walked past him if he was being rude about eating while I was enduring the beginnings of lifestyle changes. Since he can only hear you when you mumble, ONLY speak to him in a mumble. Why waste the time with the Huh? game?? Or if there is something he really likes you could do what I did to the kids. They couldn't hear ANYTHING that I said unless it had to do with dessert or something fun (fun for them, not concerned if it was fun for me or not). So I would say "Chocolate Chip Cookie" and then "Could you please take out the trash?" or whatever. It worked for YEARS. Actually, it still works! I didn't just use choc chip cookie, I named all sorts of yummy things. Having Chocolate in the word helped. ps. When you stop for tea or whatever at McDonalds or a gas station or whereever, grab an extra packet of splenda. That way you have one in your purse and even a few at home if you need them. Just don't go overboard. [/QUOTE]
