Hi, Stephanie!
Would you run a footrace with someone having a 50 lb. sack of concrete on your back???
This is why women should never compare their progress to their male mates.
Men tend to lose faster than women due to having much higher testosterone levels.
Testosterone is a very strong metabolic stimulant.
So don't measure your progress against your husband's (or anyone else, for that matter).
Taking on two major life changes simultaneously is a challenge. But not impossible.
If you have the determination and commitment to do it, you WILL succeed at both.
After 3 days of non-smoking, a body will finish detoxing from nicotine.
Then it becomes entirely a situation of mind over matter.
If you keep your head in the right space, nothing will stop you.
We'll be right here Stephanie, to help you in any way we can.
So you go for it, girl!
Tony
