There are a ton of ways to lose weight. I saw in the other thread your husband lifts weight and runs 2 miles 3 times a week.
Do you exercise? Can you share with us what you and your husband eat in a given day (includng condiments, drinks, sides, etc)?
That should help us narrow things down.
Welcome to the site!

Here are some quick tips that OD posted earlier: Quote:

Exercise!
Count your calorie intake and make sure you consume less calories a day than you expend.
Exchange white breads for whole wheat breads
Make your own food at home to take to work or parties.
Use old pictures of you looking your worst as motivators....put them on your fridge to remind you what you used to look like or don't want to look like again.
Use hydrostatic bodyfat testing to truly see how much fat you lose, especially if you are building muscle through exercise/weight lifting.
Find a friend to lose weight with or exercise with. Humans are competitive by nature and you'll be able to push each other in the right direction. |

Thanks guys!!! | that is very nice of you to considering doing this not just for yourself but to do it for those that love you.  it is difficult to make suggestions without understanding how you eat and how you exercise if you do exercise, medicines you take etc

Thanks guys. I am really trying to encourage my husband to do this. But it is going to be hard on both of us. He wants to lose about 30 pounds and I want to lose 15. So lets see.....

So lets see..... | You have us here backing you all the way! You should use each other to motivate one another. It's easier when there's two of you doing it instead of just one. Maybe setup a little race between you two to hit your goals, with the loser having to pay up some how.

All I see is calories, calories, chicken, and calories  . I think changing both of your eating habits will have a big impact on your weight loss efforts.

I am doing pretty good I must say. Although ate something I should not have today and feel super guilty. But I did limit myself to only 1 thing.

And I forgot to say - I used to weigh 181lbs! The way I got down to 156 is I gave up all sugar. The weight seemed to literally melt right off. I wish I could do it again, but I'm possessed (by a WICKED sweet tooth!!!.)  | |
