Delighted or Disappointed?

21 posts Page 2 of 2
I am intrigued by this thread. Most women spend their pastime trying to get their men more healthy and eating food they don't like. Now when a couple of them do great on this way of eating there is jealousy and even some hatred. Just an observation. :)
I'm jealous! You lost 2 lbs in the first 4 weeks? I lost nothing for the first 5 weeks! In my view, you are off to a great start.

Eventually the hard work pays off and the weight starts dropping off. And remember to keep measuring your waist and thighs etc. The inches I was losing helped me through those first feelings of disappointment.

You've got the right idea with pressing on. Good luck!

But he wasn't even doing 5:2 ! He wasn't doing anything. Just the fact that twice a week he might have felt a tinsy bit inhibited scoffing in front of me (and I can't say I noticed any change in his behaviour at all) was enough to make his weight drop.


You could be me, Kentishlass, I go on any sort of diet and my hubby loses weight!!!!! Men!!!! :clover:

I'm not worried he's lost weight, I'm worried he's now too thin. Comments have been passed by neighbours, etc about how I'm not feeding him properly! :confused:

Absolutely adore my OH... :heart: :cool:

Haha... Remind the neighbors that he is a man, not a pet. :)
They are elderly, otherwise I'd have said exactly that!
