I am not following a specific program. Eating better, (I do take Healthe Trim a weight loss supplement), and getting back into working out. I use to be a Beachbody coach, and have plenty of Shakelogy to drink as well! I am starting training for a 10K. My goal last year was to complete a 5K and I ended up doing 8!

I have that problem too. I bought the book How To Cheat On Your Husband...In The Kitchen. It's given me many useful tips & ideas on how to sneak in healthy food right under his nose (pureeing veggies into sauces, etc.) I bought it dirt cheap from ebay.

I also do things like pouring salsa over chicken with a side of brown rice & a salad. Or instead of starchy sides I'll do cucumber/tomato salads, mashed potaoes with chicken stock instead of butter & cream. Fruit filled sugar-free Jell-O for dessert or honey Greek yogurt over fresh fruit. He'll be more likely to eat it if it's already prepared & good to go.

I have no say in what he eats outside of the home, and I can only help steer him in the right direction when at home. If he doesn't want to eat what I've made then that';s on him & he can fend for himself. Eventually he eats what I've made & finds that he actually likes the foods he's never tried before. Imagine that! Why do men act like toddlers so often?

Quoting expectnanother:

...the only issue i have is making healthy meals my husband will like...he's southern for crying out loud and is a neat and potato kinda guy....

I'm doing the Slim in 6 video by Beachbody.  I'm also trying to drink plenty of water, and no snacking between dinner and bed.

Started P90X on Monday & running when I can.  As far as the "diet" limiting the sugar is a big one, but overall I am focusing on eating clean.

I am doing my Advocare supplements, eating better, and doing the new Can you 24 workout DVD! I know that this year will be great.

Watch sugar, salt, fat and calories.

I'm cutting out fast good and reading smaller portions. And I'm going to start going to the gym.
