Ok, I know that men lose weight faster than women. Does it mean I have to like it? The answer is a loud no! My husband and I decided for fun we would do a weight loss challenge for three months. It ends on October 1. My husband and I both want to lose about twenty five pounds.
My husband and I are competing and it is frustrating to hear him tell me almost every night he lost another pound! I am glad for him but at the same time, I am losing about a pound, maybe a pound and a half every week. He is losing about three to five pounds a week. Meanwhile, he tells me had two Krispy Kreme doughnuts today and still lost a pound. Did I have Krispy Kreme you ask? Nope, I have stuck to my diet, exercised for at least thirty minutes a day and have lost a whopping pound in the last week. He is only half-heartedly watching what he eats, does not exercise and yet he is losing weight. No fair!

Yeah, I agree. If you check pout my latest blog you can read that I just basically had a melt down about the very same thing. His goes down and even as hard as I’m trying I’m not losing anything. I stepped on the scale tonight and I ahd actually gained a pound – what the heck? I don’t understand and it just made me emotionally unsound and want to quit trying.

Men have more muscle mass than we do so they lose weight faster as muscle consumes energy even when at rest.
It isn’t fair.
