Sorry, perhaps German language thinking stood in the way of English language writing ... to but it bluntly, I got into one of those bad patches you tend to get into when you try to achieve something that is hard to achive, and I thought: whats the point of losing weight when my hubby stays as fat as he is ...

Yeah, it is not logical, but it seemed so at the time ...
Which is a shame, because I really had a good run then - didn't lose much weight but that was because I gained a lot of muscle mass.

Now my husband started losing weight, and I sort of trot along trying gain momentum to jump back on my track (if it were not for the 40th wedding anniversary of my parents last weekend, I'd have lost some. I probably really have, but I learned not to step on the scales after big parties. Though I have been very careful about what I eat and how much this time.)

So I really am losing weight now, but I know I can do it more efficiently. But instead of giving up now (I don't get to my efficient phase - whine), I just get on with it and I am confident it will get more efficient over time.

ser gut.
Sounds like you know the deal, so keep with it.
 
lucky we'll start egging each other on. step away from the donut and exercise.......how's that? too demeaning?
 
Hehe, right.
And yes I know the deal - bugs me that I didn't keep with it last time, because I already knew back then ...

One reason more to keep with it this time. I started cutting our grass with a scythe, instead of a mower. A scythe is a great fitness tool. I just have to take care I don't have short legged cats all of a sudden ...

I've seen those pics - I definitle don't want my body fat to run that low ...

your body craves things for a reason......its lacking something. most likely salt and fat....?

certainly not FAT. i have plenty of that to go around......maybe salt. i've cut my salt levels a lot since i had my first daughter. i don't salt any of my food. so whatever is in the food is what i'm getting.

luckykitty- do this :foot:

dont think because you have adapose fat storage that your body will not still crave and/or need daily amounts of fat. because it still needs thoses fat everyday along with carbs and protiens.(greatly simplified)
 
oh, and mrs. shotgunner, you wrote that it is hot, your body needs more salt when it is hot, and it needs those polyunsaturated fatty acids which are also found in olives ...
 
I've been working outside in south Texas in July.........

I guess I should be carrying around a salt lick.
