Thank you for your replies. I would like to kick my husband in his skinnier butt! But, I just need more patience! (something in which I am sorely lacking )

I have upped my water intake. This whole woe has been a challenge to my very soul I am the diet coke drinking, low fat yogurt eating, carb addict, if it has sugar in it it is ok, licorice eating machine! I figured if it was less than 5g's of fat, it was ok to eat! I worked in a health club during the "low fat" days of the 80's and changing my way of thinking has been tough!
