Hi Pam, good for him for losing weight since your surgery. I wished it worked like that for me, but it was the opposite!! I weighed more than Greg before surgery too, of course. I couldn't wear his shirts -- now they are too big!! Thanks for the hints Pam, love donna

Remind him how fantastic the sex is when you're both lean and mean!!! It's true! Since I lost, and Bob had his surgery and he's down 85lbs, the sex is better than it has ever been! And we're gonna celebrate our 11th anniversary on New Year's Eve! Was this too much info?? Ah, so what? I'm happy! Just have to find time when our kids aren't in our faces! It's nice that he has Mon & Tues off and the kids are in school! Paula

South Beach is one of the best diets for anyone that needs to lose weight. Our surgeon had us follow it prior to surgery and we lost a lot of weight. It's simple to do and you can eat almost anything. He probably should just cut out the "white" things in life...sugar, flour, bread, etc. Go to: http://www.southbeach-diet-plan.com/ For an outline of the plan. It really works. My brother in law just also lost 45 lbs on it and he's 65. Men lose so much more and more easily, too. The *******s! Paula

Looks like many of us are having the same problem here. My hubby has gained about 35 pounds since my surgery, because he too ate my leftovers. Now, I just bring home what I cant eat and eat it the next day. We went to a sweetheeart banquet the other weekend, and they took our pictures also. Hubby had the same reaction,,look how big I am!! Soon after he said he needed to do something. So, since I have all the WW books and counters, I suggested, I will make the WW food, and portion it out for you in your lunch and supper, hows that?? He agreed, and I promised to buy him some sugar free ice cream,( he loves ice cream and that is his weakness).So far, he has lost 12 pounds. He is so proud of himself. he did splurge over the holiday, gained a pound and went right back to his regimen. As long as I help, he doesnt mind. He doesnt need the meeetings,,just a little help with the food. I do the counting,,he does the eating and keeps away from junk food at work.
