    Hello - Hubby and Me New

    Hello everyone, I've been a lurker for about a month and decided because of health reasons to give this way of eating a try. 2 weeks ago, my hubby and I started. We cleaned out our cubbards and fridge and went grocery shopping.

    My starting weight was 184 - I am 39 and 5'4. My goal weight is 140.
    His starting weight was 307 and he is 6'0 and 44 years old. His goal weight is 210.

    In two weeks as of today, I have lost 14.5 pounds and he has lost 17 pounds. This is the best eating we have done...ever. We have more energy, he hasn't had heartburn since we started. I just feel better. My skin is nice and my hair is growing wonderfully. This way of eating is going to be our lifetime eating plan. The food is wonderful and drinking all that water hasn't been as hard as we thought. We gave up coffee and alcohol. and sugar...boy, that was a tough one. Felt like we had the flu for almost a week.

    I just wanted to say hello.

          welcome to the both of you, looks like you are a great team. That will even make it that much easier.
          Doesn't the burst of energy feel great and all of that yummy food?
          I am glad to hear you say it is going to be your lifetime eating plan. I knew in the first month that it was my way of eating forever too.
          Congrats on those losses too, that is amazing. Post often, imlisa 31 so we can share in your success.

                          Thank you everyone. What a warm welcome. Yes, it is so much easier to do this with my Hubby. Our kids are grown and moved out of the house, so other than our Sheltie - Missy getting upset about the chips getting thrown away, it was very easy to give away the high carb foods. With just the two of us, we are doing great. I also bought a great cookbook called 6 ingredients or less low carb eating...it is wonderful.
