sugar crazed husband inspired

[njcarita]

hi all
i started atkins 12days ago with a goal loose 37lbs-
i have already lost 8 lbs. and am very thrilled.

but what has made me happerier my junk foodloving husband- who drinks about a pot of coffee a day with 3-4 sugars in each cup, who lives on pringles and chips a hoy cookies has been so impressed on every thing he has heard and read about Atkins that he has started Atkins today.

He is 6'2" and 205 lbs- so he only has about 15-20lbs to loose-
but diabetes runs in his family and at 38 his cholesterole is already high!!!!

Keep your fingers crossed.

thanks for all the support

That is so awesome!!!

I have often heard that our example teaches people much more than our words. Obviously he has been watching you and you are setting such a good example for him!!

Way to go and good luck!!

That's great news. If he is like my husband his lipids will be normal soon and he will be safe from diabetes. Sure hope he has good results from Atkins. My DH loves the Atkins plan.

That is great that you set such a good example. I am hoping to be a good example to my 2 DD's (5 & 9). As of now they do not have bad eating habits and they do not have a weight problem, but children do learn by example. My older DD has started to do a little bit of exercising on the stepper, so I know that she is picking up on what I am doing.
