It is far easier to eat a bit less than it is to burn the extra calories, look it up if you have any doubt. But, some increase in activity is absolutely essential to facilitate a change.

Rex also hit on one of my pet peeves, I'll explain. While he can make decisions both about what is available and what he eats, a married person cannot. My wife viewed my getting back to my goal weight as folly at first so she kept snacking at night-a major no no. As the weight came off, she along with her mother and my sister in law saw my weight loss as an indictment of their inability to do the same, so I was battered with negative comments.

I've held ideal for 12 months now. So it can be done. Good luck to each of you.
