Weight Watchers will work and if you just keep an eye on things after,you will be o.k.

Honey, I agree with Jamie and Vicky, it isnt how much you eat but rather WHAT you eat. The things you mentioned are horrendous for packing on pounds with fat. Heavy carbs and low protein isnt good for weight loss. You do have to watch what you eat if you have other medical conditions. However, if you eat smaller "nutritious" meals during the day, it is much better for you. It sounds to me like hubby is trying to motivate you more than anything. You will also find that the kind of food you mentioned will cause lethargy because it takes more energy for your body to process that kind of food.

Please go to a site like weight watchers or Dr. Mercola's site and research what foods are truly good for you. The more carbs you eat, the more you will crave. Yogurt, fruit, raw vegies, cooked vegies, low sugar cereals, grains, and definately protein. Protein burns fat but should be eaten in combonation with carbs not alone. I dont advocate JUST protein like the adkins diet......it is too dangerous.

also if you loose weight just for "him"

Thats a really bad reason..also be sensible , most of us have a set body weight and will never be a size 5. But maybe a 12 or 14?

I was once a size 20 , now am a 14 to a 16 depending..as I get older I am more a 14..

maybe thats just where I should of been all along instead of yo-yoing for 30 years.

Some people at first gain 5 lbs or so of muscle which in turn makes them lose 20lbs of fat. Muscle weighs more than fat anyways, so don't be surprised if that happens. It always without fail happens to me & at first I am like oh no... but then I remember what always happens... Don't stand on your scale everyday either. Use your clothes as your gauge, because like I said muscle always weighs more than fat.

Okay, I am dieting also and it is the same with me...my weight goes up and down. I will lose 4 lbs and then gain 3 back...it is ridiculous, BUT my husband is a certified personal trainer and he said that it is perfectly normal for your weight to fluctuate, but the weight will come off. Someone said on here that it is normal to lose about 2 lbs a week and that is true. My husband tells me to stay away from the scale and that it is your worst enemy. After a whole month I have only lost 7 lbs, but I am trying to look at the long run. I hope you do too. Good luck!
