When I started my Fatsecret journey in March 2009, I weighed in at 214lbs...and I thought that was too heavy. Today I reluctantly weighed in and weigh 247.8lbs. I've gained nearly 34lbs in 6 years. The only thing I seem to be doing is getting fatter. Poor choices (like yesterday's lunch), not drinking enough water, and apparently not getting enough cardio in (it's time to approach and mount the elliptical and stop the childish flirting). Hubby is still not registering on our scales. Wonder if it would really be necessary to get a scale that accepts up to 500lbs so hubby can have a reality check like I did?
Today I planned my meals. Advised hubby what I'm having for breakfast and supper is what he's having.
On the plus side, we got up and worked out this morning to P90x after a 2 day hiatus and a 15 cheat session of yoga yesterday (http://dailyyoga.com/) - yoga for beginners -- don't let it fool you, it's challenging! I even posted my workout results on Facebook for the world to see. We created our own sheets via excel.
Valentine's day is coming up -- hubby got me a dozen mixed roses and a miniature potted rose. Thoughtful! I thought about cooking a special dinner and clean the house really well. Both of which he would enjoy!

I know the struggle. My guy doesn't register on the scale either and in order to get him together, I have to make sure I stay on top of what I do. Good luck. I really want chocolate covered strawberries for valentine's day. But I know I don't need them lol

Yes, it all starts with our mindset. Also, with our significant other. I try to find support from my husband and try to support him to workout more. But I know I need to be motivated in losing weight and getting toned. I know if we support each other, it definitely helps to keep us motivated.

P90X is great! I just started T25 which is supper concentrated for busy people. Twenty five minutes a day five days a week. It is tough but you know that from P90x. Check it out you may like it. It is kicking my butt but I enjoy it!

Have you tried lowering your carb intake?

Aww bless, that sucks to go through all that and end up gaining weight. However, for that to happen, you either have something inherently wrong and should see a quack, or, and this is more likely, something is awry with your diet/exercise plan/methods, but it sounds like you know this and are addressing it, so well done for that!
Remember, at a basic level, to lose weight (body-fat) you need only do the following:
1. Caloric deficit, with a healthy diet. ('though you can still have naughty things sometimes) Counting calories will certainly help. This website is a God send.
2. Exercise, particularly cardio, but resistance (even for women) is very much key to not only losing weight, but keeping it lost when it's gone. The bigger the engine, the more fuel you burn.
3. I actually can't remember the third thing, my bad. I can think of a lot of things I could put here, though, like social support, a gym, logging your exercises (like on here), drinking plenty of water, lowering your carb intake and avoiding simple carbs (only complex, unless it's a cheat meal/snack thing), etc.
Best of luck to you, and to us all.
