My husband has decided to join me in counting calories. He's also been unhappy with his body for some time and figured he might as well do what I'm doing in the hopes it will help him too. It's nice to have a dieting buddy in the house.

That is great! It can make things so much easier when your partner is on board with you

That may even make it a little fun. Do you cook together? It is really hard to stick to a diet when everyone else around you is eating things you can't have. My mom and sister are going to start diets with me when the holidays are over.

That's so great and I'm glad you have a partner. Things are really tough, especially around the holidays with all the extra food and goodies going around. Having that support beside you is critical sometimes.

I wish my hubby would get on board! It would be nice if he were dieting too, because then I'd have justification for getting rid of all the junk food in the house! Congrats, Olivia. I hope you both are successful.

Yay, that'll make it so much easier for you! My OH's a nightmare with food and it makes it so hard for me! I'm hoping at some point he'll decide he wants to get fit, but am not holding out too much hope

Yes, it's great to have him on board with me. It's really not an easy time to start, however, so he's struggling and frankly so am I. In terms of dieting, I'll be glad when the holidays are over.

My husband does not count calories for the day but he is mindful of what he is eating. I am very proud that he is hitting the fruits & veggies more than he has in the past. There is nothing like a good support system and your better half sometimes can give you more motivation than others can.

I just got rid of it and stopped buying it any way
