Trying to start a diet with my hubby tomorrow- but I don't need to lose at the moment.
Hubby originally lost 100 pounds with me back during my weight loss phase. He is really geting fluffy again, and has regain about 35. I know everyone knows the drill, he talks a lot about needing to lose it, about stayiing away from crap food, etc. But today is different. I finally got cleared to start exercising again- albeit no upper body work. That is Ok, because the important thing is I can now take his ass to the gym 6 days a week. The burning of the calories was only marignally helpful for us back during my weight loss phase, but hugely helpful in keeping us from eating at peek times and in general on plan. He agreed tonight that he will work on reducing calories beginning with breakfast. I am finally well enough to be motivated enough for the two of us for a while- so here goes! I don't need to lose but desparately need to tone up. He needs both. Wish us luck!

I'm so glad that you are cleared for exercise again. It must be so nice to be retuning to "normalcy" after all you've been thru. I'm happy for you.
Best wishes,

Good luck.
My partner does not need to lose weight, but he does not need to gain. He simply eats less carbs. Specially in the morning. Often - dinner is also low carbs. Over the years - eating like that - I noticed his portions got smaller. It was gradual, but now is noticible.
It is no a diet...but our way of eating.(WOE) I.e yesterday he had scarbled eggs and bacon, with some fresh veggies.
Lunch was cheese, peperoni, PITA bread and veggies. Dinner was salmon and veggies...
The lower carb lifestyle allows us to eat as much food as our body need so we are not hungry. It is not a low fat WOE - and that makes it so easy to stick to. For both of us.

He is really struggling with way too much carb, and constant eating. He did pretty good today. I am not a fan that he skipped breakfast, but he feels it works for him and I don't want to step on his mojo. He did a very good workout at the gym, healthy dinner and lunch. Went trick or treating at Sams and Costco though, so a wee bit of crap there. Overall though, pretty sure if he doesn't tank tonight it is a weight loss day for him. Need to get him out for a long walk here shortly to keep him out of the fridge!
