Never gave my wife a Mad Libs card with a present..... looks like I know what to do for our anniversary now.

Don't know about him but I show my wife more love by not peeing on the toilet seat and cleaning it if I do..... I know... I'm a hopeless romantic.

I love watching my husband help our son ride his bike

Why is it when I try to eat better.... work supplies free candy.

2 bags of Skittles and a bag of MnMs arent gonna help me but they were yummy.

I thought I was going to lose weight because I was more active this summer and eating better. Then I gained 5 lbs. so I started being stricter about my food… and then got in a car accident and have limited mobility. This baby weight shall never come off

sorry about accident/hope you will recover

I haven’t been eating lunch regularly the last couple weeks, maybe I have lost one or two pounds. I weigh the same as I did the day I went into labor. Lost all my baby weight breastfeeding and then gained it all back

I say go by how you feel over the numbers a scale throws at you.

Muscle weighs more than fat so naturally if you burn fat and build muscle there will be a trade iff and for a season you will gain or at least not lose as much weight as you think you should

If you go by how you feel, it is far more likely to be encouraging rather than discouraging like a scale.

Also keep in mind, not everybody is built to carry weight the same, so not every numerical scale goal can be achieved and the person maintain health.

In my experience through the years and my own body... When I weighed in at the offical "ideal" weight for my height. I felt like a twig. Then I put on good weight and felt great even though the scale said I was over weight.

Being a guy I never had to battke baby pounds, but I did go from fit overweight to bad overweight due to eating more after quiting a 2.5 pack a day smoking habit and a new found love of cookies, but I still feel SOO much better soft and doughy over weight than I ever felt at "ideal".

My issue with the baby weight was that I developed a cookie habit when I was alone after the kids went to bed and husband was at work. With the first, it was chocolate chip, and the second it was Oreos.

Yes... the cookie struggle is real.

Odd cause when I was inshape I didnt much care for cookies and cakes.

My udea of a good desert while inshape was another dish of protein dead animal.

Now... my wife slaps my hand away from cookies out of tge oven. Especially the oreo kind.

I was in another accident. My mobility was bad before…. Now it’s worse. I can’t touch the floor or lift my arms above my head. I can barely manage shoulder level.

For the first time in our marriage, my husband is employed and I am not. I feel like a kept woman!

I love my awesome wife.

I messed up my foot so she has been my feets for the past few days. She didn't even complain about it.

 

[Bumble Bee]

Husband has taken over a lot of the house for me so I can rest after work each day. I haven’t been able to cook since getting pregnant because of the smells, and working so many hours is wiping me out. Even though he started a new job yesterday, he still took over dinner for me.

husband started cooking crock pot recipes weekly which gives us food 2 days

teen will also cook at least once weekly
I take weekends off from cooking as we'll eat leftovers

so now I only have to cook 2 or 3X / week!

That's an awesome tactic for food. Congrats on the #777 post!

Not true. I did complain every time you got off your butt.
