The subject of diets came up again on a separate thread, but this seemed to warrent its own.

My wife placed both of us on the Southbeach diet at the beginning of November. I weighed 243, she weighed...lets just say much less than that.

Her goal was to lose 15-20 pounds by 1/1/2005...

My goal was to hit 200 by March 1st, 2005...

She has lost 8 pounds so far...and is on one hand pleased but misses the food she used to eat.

(Here's comes the part where's she's pissed at me...)

As of this morning, I now weigh 215...I've lost 28 lbs. in about 6 weeks. I feel better, my trousers are looser, I've not needed any of my Aciphex (Reflux) medication for a month and feel great.

The kids are raving about how I've dropped weight...which of course, drives her nuts.

I have not cheated...and plan to stay the course.

My wife while happy I've dropped the weight, never dreamed I'd do better at a diet than she did, lol...

A-hem...

Time for some flowers, I think!
