Why Men Lose Weight Faster Than Women (blame Trainor and Walsh)
First, a little backstory. Our longtime faithful readers may recall me discussing my loser husband (let’s just call him lh). He’s a loser in a “Biggest Loser” kind of way. As in, if he wants to drop eight pounds, he just eats carrots instead of chips for ten days.
I hate that.
Meanwhile, he snapped this picture of me last night while we were watching the beach volleyball finals.
(Good job girls! Also…I was even totally turned on watching those girls play in the rain. If it started raining jello in China, I think 15 year old boys all over the world might have had spontaneous heart attacks.)
Anyhoo…
Yesterday, we made our annual end-of-summer shopping trip to Dillard’s. 75% off! Well, lh is lamenting the fact that he now has to buy the next size up for his Dockers (Is it wrong that this gives me a tinge of euphoria?). He then adds, “Hey, but I’ve lost 6 lbs since we came back from vacation.”
6 lbs! We got back ten days ago!!!!!!! Bastard. I need a honeybun. Right. Now.
Now, what I hear when he says this is, “Hmmm, I’ve lost weight, why haven’t you?”
Nuddafingah!!!!
Or in a few weeks, when he says, “Look, my other pants fit me!” I will hear, “Heh, why don’t you wear that size 4 mini skirt from Old Navy anymore?”
Seriously though. Men? Allow this to serve as a public service announcement. Never brag about how much weight you’ve lost to your wives. To me, it ranks up there with answering “yes” to the question, “Do I look fat in this?” We can’t handle it.
Is it just me? Nah…couldn’t be! I think we’ve clearly established that I am the normal one in this relationship.
Tap, tap. Is this thing on?
He probably lost 6 pounds of water weight, or weighed himself at different times of day. I can vary 5 pounds of weight within 1 day, depending on when i weight myself.
My Dad told me this past weekend, “I gave up my diet pop last week and lost 5 pounds.” Wha? I feel your pain.

my husband was the most insane metabolism and appetite I’ve ever seen. It’s like feeding Michael Phelps. If I make pasta, it’s 3/4 of a box, plus more that a half jar of sauce,veggies and chicken. And then he’s hungry for a PB&J an hour later. And he has a six pack.

My husband has the cruel habit of updating me every time he steps his work-out up a level. “Added another mile, today!”
Yeah, honey. Me, too.

polishes off a pint of ben and jerrys FIVE NIGHTS A WEEK on couch while watching tv.
and is lamenting how he thinks he’s getting a little ‘too small’
Men Suck – I cannot stand that they can drop it so damn quick – There is a conspiracy here somewhere I just know it. Bastards…
My personal favorite is when my gentleman friend asks me if I really want to eat what it is I am eating…. usually this happens at midnight before we go to bed.

Is it wrong that on the second or third day of the olympics, i was looking at the men who were competing in the cycling thingy (where they ride on the long road outside and in the hills for hours) and thought “Boy I wouldnt mind looking like that” and Im a 25 yr old girl, and seriously, those men are skinnier than my 20 yr old anorexic sister.
I also agree with Pete@quickfit, i can weigh totally different depening on when during the day i weigh myself.

David sits up until 1:00 AM every morning, and judging
from the wrappers and containers littered about, he’s
either eating everything in the house or having guests
over while I’m sleeping. He keeps losing weight. I’m
living off fruit and salad (yes, the wine I had last
night counts as fruit) and my weight isn’t budging. I
often hate his guts.
I decided to ramp up the exercise and tonight and
attempt to run without passing out, but I keep having to
pee and I don’t think it’s a very good idea to get that
far away from home. What will I do if the urge hits?
Candances last blog post..Thanks, WoMan
And my question is…what to do those marathoners do when they have to pee?
Its true that men lose weight fastest than women.
Men has a faster metabolism.

Hi, I enjoyed reading your blog. I have been on Zig Zag diet for more than 3 months, and I have achieved great success. In my opinion, as long as you exercise often and follow a low calorie diet, you can surely lose weight. P/S : Ironically it is harder to shop for clothes now because there are more choices
