Way to go, Debi! Congrats!
I'm having the same kind of success with the same kind of eating. What started it was a "Biggest Loser" contest at the school where I teach. I joined up, changed my eating habits (much to my DH's dismay; he loves to cook gloppy casseroles with lots of rice, potatoes, tortillas, and pasta.), and after a couple of months and some success losing, started excercising more seriously and walking/jogging with some ladies from the office in the mornings. So far, I'm in the lead on losing (about 14 lb out of the 25 I want to lose), and I even ran my first 5K on Thanksgiving day! (21 degrees, going out was uphill against a 30 mph wind, absolutely miserable!) The results were e-mailed yesterday, and I came in first in my age/sex group!! (That's the old lady group.)
Sounds like there are a bunch of us that have stopped dieting and just changed the way we eat. DH thinks things will go back to what he thinks is normal when I reach my goal, even though I've told him it won't. This is a lifestyle change, even if it means we each cook for ourselves.
I still cook Ken the food he likes to eat - I just don't eat it. I have completely lost my taste for ground beef. I cannot stand the look, the smell, the taste. ICK!!! But I still make him meatloaf, tacos, enchiladas and all that with meat.
