Hi everyone
I've hit the ground running on my new lifestyle, but unfortunately (even though he knows he should be following my lead) my husband hasn't quite got to the point that I have and begun living the FTS lifestyle.
I am not letting his evil ways sway me at all, I just wanted some tips on how I can convince him to become sugar/carb free.
He needs to lose weight, his cholesterol is high, but he LOVES chocolate and bread, and as a Canadian, is a typical (why would you cook from scratch when there's so many easier options out there).
I have always been a cook from scratch girl, and I do all the cooking, so he is actually eating what I eat at dinner time (if I have a cooked meal), however because he works shift work, takes sandwiches etc. to eat while at work.
I purchased an Atkins DVD for $1 not so long ago, and we watched it together and he was pretty gung-ho to start, but always just goes the easy option.  I'm not stressing about it, because this is my health, my body and I'm ready to do something about it.  I'm making positive changes and introducing him to it too, its just the other meals in the day that I worry about.  He had a visit with his 13 year old daughter last night - they had McDonalds (I told them to eat it there, I don't care for it anyway, but did not want to be around it) and I had my (yukky! lol) pasta....
Any advice would be appreciated on how you might have got through to your "other halves"!

I wonder if this would work with canned salmon too?

Hi ladies,
I know I'm only new here, but I think that one of the hardest things when you're "dieting" is that you feel like you are starving yourself and can't have what you want and that's when you fail.
That's why I love this program, its so different and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.  So what if you have a few carbs - its not an issue, I don't think and it looks like 0 carbs is making you all a little crazy!  (In Jo's case, crazier than usual!!!!), so why not stop stressing about it and try the 5-10 carb a day mark and see if that works?  I may be wrong, but I would definitely fail if I felt like I couldn't have something I wanted, like your cauliflower and broccoli - man if that's all you crave - you guys have it made!
I was below 10 the other day without even trying..if I can do it, you guys certainly can!
Just my two cents worth....

Yes Doug, you should be knighted....or something similar!
Sir Doug and Lady Umpa.....lol
