Reverse Atkins Husband Update

[losetocruise]

Just thought I'd let you guys know, he's down another 13 pounds, down one pants size and on th edge of going one size down again.

He isn't fooled any more by the diet, and he's sticking religiously to whatever I give him. I've cut his carbs a little more, but I think if I dropped him all the way to induction level, he'd rebel. And there's no point now since he's doing really well with it.

He even goes to jazzercise with me once in a while.

Ginny, you are too funny! Glad it is working out for you both. Sounds like you've got a winning plan and winning DH. Good for you!

Thanks great news! Congrats to him...and for your work and effort

Even though I originally tricked him into doing it, having him on it helps keep me honest. We had a big motorcycle event recently in our town and iIdon't ride, but he does. So I babysat the grandkids while he went and enjoyed the events with our, son and daughter and their fiances.

After a full day trying to entertain a 2 and 4 year old,I promised them ice cream. yes, I broke down and ate a cone. When my husband returned, he proudly announced that he had passed up all the vendors and got nothing but a turkey leg all day. I confessed that I had a cone and he stared at me blankly and said "I'll be right back!" then he jumped on his bike, ran around the corner to the ice cream shop and got one too. So for both our sakes, I have to stay legal!

Ginny, I'm curious. Why would DH rebel if you cut his carbs to induction level? What would he miss?

Guys are so easy to have your way with! You just gotta love 'em! I'm proud of you and of him!

Sunny!

Hehe, I have one of those guys too! He is doing the WOE half@ssed while he is away for work 4 days during the week, but kinda watching his carbs, and he is down 21 pounds in 5 weeks. He is learning from me. I am going to be a real stickler, and see if I can catch up to him, I am down 14 pounds. Just the competition should make him more honest.

[chinadoll]

Yeah but it kind of stinks that they can get away with those little cheats and still beat us at the scale. Mine loses 2 for my every one.

GINNY congrats to the DH. You are doing great too! Keep up the good work. My DW is not on Atkins at all but she is losing by association. This is a great WOE!

My DH is not on the diet with me. If he wants to lose a few pounds, he cuts out his sodas for a while Men have it so easy!
