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 [...]
