Used to be, but not anymore. I eat quite a bit and still lose, so it's all good.0

I couldn't care about his results. I'm focused on mine. That's like peeping over your hedges to watch how your neighbours mow their lawn and then getting frustrated with how yours looks after you've mowed it. Completely useless and of no help whatsoever.0

My wife is 6' at 380 pounds. I'm jealous of how much she can eat and still lose.0

I'm going to go against the grain and be honest - I love my BF and he is, on average, super supportive... But then there are those times he's eating chips and when I reach for one he pulls them away from me because he knows they can fit into his calorie alotment, but not mine. Some might call that good accountability, but it is frustrating (and a little insulting, honestly). It still feels bad, even though he's not exactly rubbing the extra calories in my face purposefully.0

Well, I think (I hope) that the only reason homosexual couples were left out was because, if they weigh anything close to each other (which they might if they live together and share meals), they're going to have a similar daily allotment.
Singles would've been valid though. I grew up with two male best friends - both of whom had to buy the smallest size pants and belt them so they would stay on. They ate EVERYTHING in sight.... and I was always on a diet. -_-
Realizing you could've been joking, sorry if I killed the sarcasm. 0 -

lol was half and half.. ;p but exactly! I too have male friends at the gym which I think hmm they are doing what I am ( or so I think ) yet they are dropping the weight and I'm gaining ( according to the scales! ) 0_oyest I can see with my eyes I'm slimmer! so I'm assuming my fat is turning into muscle and muscle weighs more? lol I need to take up a nutritional or fitness course or something! confuses me lol 0 -

A while back I started a C25K program and losing weight for BP control. After I started, my wife said she wanted to do it, too. My response was pretty lackluster. Yeah, sure thing, honey. She used to be an amazing athlete; however, since finding out she has Muscular Dystrophy 15 years ago, she has lost that. She has gained a lot of weight, and usually needs an electric wheelchair to get around due to leg weakness. She cannot lift her arms above her shoulders.
However, she was insistent. She got a recumbent stationary bicycle, and did what she could. She got a fitbit and started pushing herself to walk more. At my insistence she consulted with her pulmonologist, neurologist, and cardiologist along the way – all are very supportive of her program.
She has worked herself up to this, but she now does 2 HOURS A DAY on the stationary bicycle! Not at an incredible pace, or high resistance, but . . . 2 HOURS!!! She has also worked up to 2500+ steps with the fitbit, and generally doubles that on the weekends. That’s a LOT for her! AND she is losing weight – not as fast as me, but much more steadily. In the same time, all I have done is work up to running 5k.
Yes, I lose 2-3x as fast as her (but I’m not as consistent as her). And when we compare our results, she does get frustrated. (I’ve lost 68 pounds, she’s lost 56) I try to keep my progress somewhat to myself so I don’t discourage her.
The fact of the matter, though, is that SHE is MY inspiration! (Did I mention 2 HOURS A DAY of cardio???)0 -

Kind of. My husband and I are both on MFP and I don't care so much that I eat 1200 calories a day (maybe a bit more with exercise) and he eats around 2500 calories a day, but I hate his calorie burns! We both have Fitbit Surges so it calculates how much we burn daily (including BMR of course) and on a good day I burn 2500 calories. On a good day he's over 5000! I know it has a lot to do with the fact I am 100 pounds lighter and am 5'4 and he's 6'2 but it still kills me!0
