Husband swears I dont need to lose weight, but I would lose weight if i could wave a wand.. 20 - 30 lbs.. I think me being self-conscious prohibits some things in our marriage

Diet and exorcise is always the safest way but also look to see if stress or lifestyle are getting in your way. I too am looking to lose weight mostly medical but just the same I'd feel better if I had the body I once did even if I can't use it like I should.

If there were a magic wand I could wave to fix my marriage with my wife.... it would be the past three years. I want them all back in order to rededicate myself to her... and avoid the whole crissis before it happened. I was the problem.

Oh yhea, and MAgirl.... 20-30 pounds? Comeon, thats not really a lot. Might be on the border of overweight, depending on your hight... but if your over 5'6"... diet and exercise is the key. I recomend a daily dietary calorie counting regimen. If you want to lose weight, its a lifestyle change, not just a diet.

Eat A LOT of rice. And eat it before your main course. Like a salad. And give Adkins some nuts and bolts, cuz he'll skrew ya (on a side note, anyone hear that he died from a lack of carbohydrates? He fell and broke his hip, and bled out from the injury. He didn't have enough hemoglobin in his blood to clot the wound. I feel for the hemopheliacs in the world).

If you want to loose the weight FAST and see immediate results.... this is the way you go about doing it.


1. 1000 calories a day, no more.
2. Run at least 3-4 miles a day.
3. Do some push ups (lifts your bust), sit ups, (firms your tummy) and squats with a low weight (20 pounds held near your chest) about 5 minutes will work your legs and glutes.

Don't tell me it don't work. I ate a chicken salad every lunch (and I used full flavor dressing... you MUST have some fat in your diet or you will die), a bowl of cereal even at a double serving is only 300 calories and rather filling, and that 300 calories includes one cup of skim milk. For dinner I had something with rice, usually a lean meat. You wonder why Asians are so skinny? Rice is the reason... lo cal, high carb (good energy), and a lot of protien in seafood. My only problem was finding something to season the rice with. Worchestershire does a nice job. Although... Italian Dressing does nicely as well.

Yes, I've lost 40 pounds in a month. From 225 to 185, and I am six foot even. Gimme another 20 pounds and I will go back up to 1800 calories a day, however still maintain rice in my diet full time. I looked GOOD at 165... a well cut and toned man.

I wish we were both more confident. I believe the fault finding and inertia in my marriage are because we are not emotionally mature people. I dont know that being emotionally mature would have helped all that much. But being more confident with myself I would have put up with a lot less bull *** over the years.
