issues with logging in
I haven't done a journal in a while since I've been having so much trouble getting to the site. Today it seems to be working, so I hope this journal goes through. I'm back down to 232.6 pounds and last week I was at 234.6, so it's a good thing. This is also with me eating fast food and pizza. I know I can't keep those habits up forever so I need to stick to it and stop eating so much junk. I'm thinking of going super low carb again, but I think I should stick to a regular carb counting program. Geo is driving me CRAZY with his eating and drinking habits. I made stuffing and cube steak for dinner a couple of days ago and he served himself the rest of the stuffing (when he easily could left some) and his cube steak. He said that was too many carbs when he was drinking a non- diet soda that is loaded with carbs. Even his juice has a ton of carbs and he still drinks that. But that doesn't count, since it's a drink and whatever excuse he has. I just know I would need his support if I was to go low carb, since everything I eat is carbs. I need more protein to help keep building muscle. I had really strong muscles in high school running cross country... I could do a 5k (3.1 miles) on hills in 33 minutes. Now I just have to keep on working out. I don't expect to get back to that time, but it sure would be nice. I was 160 pounds and most of it was muscle and bone. Ok.. this has turned into a rant.... I will try to update more when I can get on the site.

I think you are doing great, so keep up the good work!
has geo lost weight? i forgot he had surgery. its hard when one person is dieting and the other isn\'t, unless you stop eating dinner together. like when he is eating, go outside and exercise? swimming especially now, must be hot in miami as well. did you guys get the tropical storms?
Sorry to be a negative nellie but you need to stop using Geo as an excuse for you not losing weight. You have control over you - you should find a diet plan that fits your life style. If you enjoy carbs then find a way to still get them although in a limited way. Hope I have not overstepped the friend line here but you continue to go down the same path. You are a stronger person than that. HUGS!
Keep on trying!! I have to agree with Joyce though. You are in control of you..eat what u need to eat for a healthier you. If I let Den set the standards in our house it would be pizza wings beer and burgers all the time. I plan around that...we have burgers I add veggies remove the bun. I make carbs for him and I increase my veggies. Taking control of your food is empowering. You cant save Geo..he needs to save himself. No reason for both of you to suffer. I\'m happy to support your carb changes. Its what I do and I love it...you can do this!
I agree it\'s much harder to lose weight if you have an over-eating spouse around feeding his face with all the wrong things! However, you are the one who lives in your body. You must take care of it. Best to you.
