THIS IS IT

Morning,

Well everyone today is day 51 for me and my total weight loss is 16.5 lbs. When my husband and I decided to go on this diet back in early Jan we both decided we would stick to it and see it through for the full 51 days and then decide whether or not it was for us. Well last night my husband and I had sat down for dinner and I reminded him that we have reached our 51 days and now it was decision time do we continue or just say screw it as we have in the past. I new what I wanted to do but I wanted to see what he thought. I waited quietly for his response as he got up from the table to prepare his lunch for the following day. The silence was killing me as I waited,( we both have about 40 more lbs to go )  after a few minutes of thought he smiled and said " nope we are staying on it, I feel good , you feel good why would we screw it up now ". A huge sigh of relief came over me and I now know this is it, this time we are going to see it to the end, there is no going back for us.

That's great!  I'm so glad you both decided to stick with it.  My husband and I are on Day #47 and have both lost 18 - 20 lbs so far.  We, also, have about 40 more to go and are in this for the long haul.  Our daughter will be setting a wedding date soon and we want to look and feel our best for her big day.

Give your husband an extra hug for all of us 17DD bloggers.  He deserves it.  You are indeed a blessed woman.

That's great! It's nice when you have someone doing this with you. It makes it a lot easier.

good for you Vickie. I felt the same way after the firs 51, did I want to continue and the answer was yes. I love this lifestyle ad it works. Slower for me as I near my goal but that'sok. I am happier & healthier for it. Keep up the great work!

I am so happy for the both of you. Here's to your health. My husband had been making better choices but he will not commit to the diet. He has stopped eating carbs for supper which has helped him drop a few pounds and his snacks are more often on the healthy side. I am on cycle 3 and loving it!!! Those skinny cow sandwiches are awesome. It really feels like I am cheating. I make sure to enjoy every bite/lick. I don't expect to lose any on this cycle and so far I am holding stable. I am happy with that for I have lost 16 pounds so far and I feel sooooo good. I will be returning to cycle one once I am finished with cycle 3 and I am actually looking forward to the weight loss in the next round of cycle 1. Perhaps my husband will be on board by then. I don't feel deprived on this diet. All the other diets that I have been on when the food runs out for the day I go would go to bed so that I wouldn't eat anymore but I don't have a problem of running out of choices on this one. I really feel even when I reach my goal I will be able to hold on to it for I have learnt how to eat better and how to make better choices. If I happen to gain a few pounds down the road I now have the tools to take it off before it gets out of hand. AINT IT GREAT
