Telemark, this is awesome! Look for the good in the bad. I don't know how many people on this message board can say the same thing.

For myself, in February, I was 194, 34" waistline. I was 168 this morning with a problem of getting my 32" jeans to stay up. Thank God for belts!

I actually like this better than the term I've used which has been the D diet. It's slightly more positive, anyway.

I think a lot of us are in this boat. When our WAS starts following what they know, it add a serious challenge to what we're trying to do here, or at least on the M front. You know I've referred to my SIL as my W's D coach before. My MIL has mentioned leaving my FIL before. If that ever happens, I'm sunk! crazy

I agree. Two broken people CAN fix themselves, and CAN support each other. It requires commitment and desire on both sides though.
