Step 2
Remove junk food from the house. Out of sight, out of mind. Offer his favorite treat once a week or so and only make/buy enough for that one time. Do not make/buy enough for several weeks because more than likely it will not last. Going off something cold turkey will only make the cravings worse.

Fitness can be more rewarding for you and your husband when you do it together. Sneak in exercise by doing something fun together. Sex actually burns about 500 calories, about as much as running for an hour.

Step 4
Consider your own weight and fitness level. Watching you get fit and lose weight can be a great motivator. You should both be eating several small meals a day (about 5 - 3 meals and 2 snacks)to keep the metabolism going at a steady rate.
