It's Not Fair!
 

Just taking a minute to rant about the age old issue of men versus women. I bust my butt and lose 2 pounds. My husband sneezes and loses 6! Okay...well, that is an exaggeration. But, I don't see that he's worked at this as hard as I have this week. Not at all. It's just not fair. :(

Okay. Rant over. Back to my regularly scheduled life as a woman.;)

Yeah, I hear ya. ;) Are you strength training though because that's why men lose better than women. They have more muscle mass.

ha, I hear ya Rhonda! Hubby cuts out beer for 2 weeks and he's back to his high school weight LOL I hate him! grrrrr :D hang in there girlie, they might lose weight faster but we get everything else....like periods...menopause... having the kids... hey wait a minute!!!!

I'm completely with you. My fiance can cut down on sodas - not stop! just drink one less a day - and he's back to high school weight. I would have to get liposuction to be back to that weight.

But many men find that their forehead grows with age too ;) At least we don't lose our hair quite so much as men do...

But yes it sucks that they can lose weight easily...

I agree, it's just not fair and it stinks! My husband can cut out beer (and it's not like it's a lot of it) and will loose twice as much as me in a week (while I am watching every bite). He's already lost all he needed to, so at least now I don't have to hear his weekly numbers any more. :~)

I have 120 to lose. Hubby has just over 100. He will probably be at goal within 5-6 months. However, my great consolation is that I get to enjoy my slimmer, healthier and...dare I say, friskier?....husband very soon. Oh la la! ;)

Right there with you all.

There's a silver lining in everything... ;)

I totally get what you mean... it can suck... It is hard to struggle and look at someone else and think their bodies seem to be more cooperative. I actually stuggle with this with my sister. She can skip the junk for a day and drop 4 pounds... I even look at a piece of cake and I gain 4 pounds the next day. LOL.

And it's even worse than that. Look at this article. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/18/ma...ise-t.html?hpw

Kae -

I'm right with you - I see others posting who are eating way more calories than me but losing way more weight! (and trust me, I tried eating more calories to see if that magic would happen for me but nope!)

I guess this is one of those grass looking greener things - chances are that no matter how quickly or slowly the weight comes off, there is someone else out there losing MORE quickly or slowly! lol!
