As of today, I'm down 18 pounds. All I'm doing is walking and eating well. I feel bad for DH because I lose faster than him, but he's working much harder at it (running 3-4 miles/day). I've asked him to start back up with his food log because I think he's eating more than he realizes. I'm making him lunch and dinner every day and I think he's sticking with it, but there's got to be something somewhere that's slowing him down. I did read that beta blockers can slow your metabolism quite a bit, so I'm sure that's not helping him. I hope we can figure it out soon so he doesn't get discouraged.
It's all those coach roaches and gee-dunk machines at work Greta!

Seriously, what do they do when he gets his annual physical? I know when PODH was in the Navy, his physical was a joke...of course, he was a pilot and he didn't want to know much (you know, if they can see your breath on the mirror etc)....I finally made him get a real physical and his cholesterol/trig were sky high! So I knew that he was not eating right.

Anyway, I digress (as usual). I hope both of you can get back on track. I know how hard you've worked!

Ok, Judy! Walking today????
