Men and weight loss!!!!
Sorry guys, but it drives me NUTS that my husband loses 10 lbs, by just cutting "some" of the bad food out of his life. Did not exercise more, did not stop eating ice cream or chips, etc.I exercise, on average, 1 hour every day, have cut out ALL the bad foods, cut my calorie intake, so have been really "working" at it and still only lose the average 2 -3 lbs a week!!
OK, I'm done!! (just needed to vent, where are you Bette? LOL)

Mari Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels!
Ohhhh I'm soo hearing you! I have a skinny DH and like yours he'll drop 20 lbs. just cutting out his daily hamburger when he was working. Now that he's retired he's put on a little but all it takes is, like you say, cut out just one sorta bad food and it'll all fall off. We gotta scratch and claw for every ounce! It just ain't fair I'm tellin' ya!!!
My DH lost 22 lbs just by cutting out chips and chocolate from his diet. He is also skinny at less than 130 lbs in a 5'9" frame. He has now started exercising and doing too rigorous exercise (like spin class or a run) and he accidentally drops 2-3 lbs overnight. His BMI is 20.3. He eats phenomenal amounts, but all healthy stuff now. He knows if we buy treats for him I will probably eat them.

OH I hate that !!!! We can go camping and I watch what I eat , drink tons of water , he eats like a pig lol and he comes home and loses 4 pounds and I gain 4 pounds *sigh*.
Im up four pounds now from camping and believe it or not my calories are even lower during camping season because I get so busy playing cornhole, fishing , or just getting a book and reading by the river I just dont eat till hubby says something and I sitll cant lose weight camping lol.
He eats cookies, no bake cookies, donuts , all the junk food you can think off and he does that.

Well everyone I was told that men just lose faster and more then women. Its just the way there bodies are made. Everyone was saying to me, why aren't you getting the band first. My hubby went first then I went 2wks after him. He has lost a 25lbs since his surgery on April 27th and a total of 59lbs since March 19th. Now me I have lost a total of 30lbs since march 19th and 10lbs since surgery may 10th. I haven't got MAD yet, but I know I probably will. He will lose even more once he really gets in the gym. I did gain, but only 2lbs when he started eating real food. Last week I kept playing with 2lbs and Im just starting mushies. Now I have water wt, SMDH!!!
So I know just how you FEEL. He has to loose more than me and I guess it will be okay...
