  • Men suck!!!! They lose weight walking to the fridge to get a beer.
  • Mine needs to drop 100 pounds, he has a knee replacement and now has problems with the other knee and both hips, he is constantly whining..seriously. and I'm tired of it. He finally started counting calories and eating better last week, and now in a couple weeks he will have lost more than me and I will be ticked at that too.........

    Just can't make me happy!

    It's to the point that if he does not lose weight he is going to be driving a huge wedge between us, because there has been NO fun for 6 months, and that is not acceptable if ya know what I mean!
  • DH was skinny when I met him he is 5'11 and was probably 165 he is now 228
    he is trying to lose weight with me. We ate out way too much while dating and he switched to a job where he was not as active as he use to be and packed on the pounds.
  • My hubby is fit and trim. He has been super supportive of me though and will gladly eat any of my creations like my infamous bean burgers, homemade hummus, oatmeal creations or Greek yogurt with berries and almonds..lol, he says he wants to be healthier too--not just the fit guy that eats all the garbage
  • The Wii Fit says DH is obese. I don't think it is really that bad. He has a very large frame and is also very muscular - which are things I have always been attracted to about him. Anyway- I guess he has put on some weight because he says he wants to lose about 30 pounds. If he does, I would just like for him to do it healthfully instead of the crash diets he usually does. -We definitely do gain weight together though and I think he has lost a little just with the fact that what I cook is more healthy and I basically have a ban on junk in the house.
  • My husband is 5'11" and 130 pounds on a fat day, shoes on. He eats, no joke, 4000 calories a day just to keep himself from passing out hungry.

    When we were first together I made it a goal to fatten him up 5 pounds before the end of the year.

    He lost 5 pounds.

    I gained 10.

  • My fiance is a bit overweight. He wants to weigh around 200 with lots of lean muscle. He's currently 245? I'm not sure..We hid my scale, haha! but I weighed more then him when we started dating (246). He gained a bit of weight and got to 250lbs and lingered there. Now I'm at around 220lbs. He recently decided to change his eating habits and I'm working on doing this for the both of us.
  • My husband and I met at our near our highest weight. I placed a personal ad, and in describing my wonderful self, I put it all out there and described myself (weight included) and that I was dieting, looking to lose weight and get healthier and looking for someone in the same situation, or sympathetic to it.

    I've lost 60 lbs, and hubby has lost about 50 lbs, and we both have at least 150 lbs to go.

    On one hand, that's pretty sad progress for 6 years together, but I didn't do any better single, so I think we'll both get where we need to be eventually.

    I swear it's so true!

    My husband cut out soda for like a week once and lost 5 lbs, that's it! I was fuming- I cut out all happiness and lose like 2 lbs
  • DH is 5' 8", same as I am. When we met I was 140, and grumbling one day after getting on the scale, naked of course, hadn't eaten anything etc. etc.

    He got on the scale (fully clothed! wearing cowboy boots!) and weighed in at 125!!!

    I have managed to fatten him up a bit, he's 160 now, but he eats well and never overeats.

    Of course, I managed to fatten myself up a bit, too
  • My dude was overweight when I met him, he's been that way throughout his life. He's a big, broad, big, broad man - totally opposite of the scrawny melancholy guys of my past! I was at a normal weight, about 10 pounds heavier than I am now when we met.

    He's been losing weight by 'accident' since I got on a healthy kick.
  • My husband is around 175 pounds and works a very physical job. He also works out 3-4 days a week. So no he isn't overweight!

    We have been together since the 10th grade & he was a super skinny nerdy type kid back then...after that he joined the Marines and bulked up a bit.
  • Mine claims that he wants to lose weight, but I notice whenever he comes over, before he heads home, he mentions something about going to the burger joint on his way. I have asked and asked if he would like to cook something with me and eat before he leaves, but he always says no. He's 5'10''ish (I think?? I can't guess peoples' height very well) and says he weighs 280lbs. IDK I know he carries all his weight in the lower midsection and is the only man I've ever dated with hips wider than mine, and mine are quite formidable at 269lbs. For a beer-drinker, he doesn't have what I would call a beer gut, although some of the weight is there. Mostly hips and thighs though.

    I don't think that he would lose weight just by cutting out soda or anything like some men do, though, because he'd still be getting fast food at 1:30am and getting no exercise except for occasionally working underneath his Jeep. Lucky for me, I like 'em husky, and I don't believe in trying to change a man's habits before he puts a ring on me. I'll bide my time.
  • He's somewhat overweight, I guess.

    He weighs a little over 200 and is 5'11"... which is probably VERY overweight by most charts, but shortly after we started dating he weighed 190 with a crazy low body fat percentage. He's got A LOT of muscle even when he's not in the best of shape, so he'd probably never get down to the "ideal" weight for his height. He was down to 160 or so when he had mono and he looked sick.
