    As a woman, is it important for you to weigh less than your man?

    As a man, does it bother you to have a woman that out-weighs you?


    [JACK SPRATT COULD EAT NO FAT - HIS WIFE COULD EAT NO LEAN]

    That would be me. :embarassed:

    And yes, it is very important to me to weigh less than him, which is going to be a challenge, b/c he's 6'0" but about 165 sopping wet, I'd guess, & even if I get to weigh less, he's always going to look smaller, I think; I'm always curvy, he's a beanpole.

    And yeah, it bothers him. Trust me, it bothers him. Why didn't I hold out for an amorous lumberjack? :tongue:

    Him...

    I have huge image-issues with my height and he's the first and only guy I've ever been attracted to that is shorter than me (less than an inch maybe, but that means I never wear heels bc I feel like a giant) so I feel like I have always tried to be smaller than him in weight since I'll never been smaller than him in height. :ohwell:

    I think from my profile picture, it's pretty obvious. I have outweighed him for quite a while now. It was so weird because one night I rolled over to spoon him and he had become as small as a little boy. (Nah, It was me getting huger, not him shrinking.) It is going to take me a long LONG time to weigh less than him again, but I am looking forward to the day it happens or at least that I get closer to the same weight as him.

    Depends what you mean. I weigh more than my wife, but have much lower BF% (as men naturally have lower BF%).

    He used to be 260, but now weighs 165....Ummm, I was 115 and now 100. I guess he is still the fatty, but not really.

    I am the "fatty" in the marriage. I weight about 40 or so pounds more than my husband, but he loves me for me and not how much I weigh<3 Although, he best love me when I lose all this weight and become skinny and hot :tongue:

    Same for me- He is 6'3" 300 & I'm 5'6" 179-we are fattys together :laugh: When I started losing weight I realized- What the heck was wrong with me? I used to eat the same portions as him! I guess I'm lucky I didn't get bigger with how much I ate. :laugh:

    I can finally say it is him, though I dont think he is fat. he is 5'11" and weighs 193. It use to be me for sure but after losing 85lbs I can finally say I weigh about 20 lbs less then him. He has loved me and supported me though thick and thin . My weight has never bothered him, my weight did bother me and I am glad to have lost alot of it......

    I used to weigh more than my husband, and I had a huge complex about that. I hated weighing more than him especially since I am only 5'1 and he is 6'0.

    I have since lost 40 lbs and weigh 42 lbs less than him. Yay for me :) and yep he is finally gaining a lil weight. Prolly won't last long though seeings how he has a fight coming up in a couple weeks.

    The fatty in my relationship is Skippy Natural. And she wears the pants unfortunately (I can't resist that creamy goodness for the life of me >_< )

    ME TOO!!! I go through a jar of that every week or two :noway:

    With my two most recent love interests, I was always smaller. Both were probably pushing 300 or more. All I care about is that a guy is tall and treats me well. Weight isn't an issue to me when it comes to the opposite sex but it is an issue with myself.

    I am. I have about 15 lbs on my g/f. When I get down to my goal weight, I'll still weigh more than her, but she has a smaller frame/build than I do. Oh and we're the same height.

    My Charmer weighs more but I'm the fatty. I think he's a chubby chaser so he's fine with it. On the other hand, he is really excited about my healthy choices so he should be fine with less of me too...

    My husband is 6"3' and I'm 5"3', so he's definately got the height advantage. I am 202lbs right now, he's 320lbs right now. I've lost 54lbs, he's lost about 30lbs. I think I'm a bit more hard core for working out and eating well than he is. He's not bothered by losing it very slowly. I need to see results to keep me going.

    Ideally, I'd like to be 135-145, and my husband wants to be 210-230.

    Unfortunately it is me....me and my hubby are doing this together and of course he has lost 30lbs in about half the time it took me to lose 13lbs...dang men!! So I now weigh about 15lbs more then him and I HATE it. He has always been bigger then me and yes I prefer it that way. I don't want to feel like I'm crushing him if I sit on his lap (even though he is a ton stronger then me) so I know I am not but I feel like a complete fat *kitten*...but that is why we are all here right :)

    My 6'2" hubby is naturally thin - and works physically every day vs. my desk job - so he runs anywhere between 175-185. I am 5'4" and at my highest non-pregnant weight 163.5....TOO close for comfort - I should be no where near his weight and it's a big motivator for me to get control of this situation. I tend to watch what I eat and chase him around the house with food LOL. He likes how I look - but I don't...yet!

    Between me and myself...I am not the fatty, and myself is not the fatty either.....But when I get in a relationship, I hope that me or my future guy isn't the fatty. I want us to be healthy :)

    LOL I'm certainly not "fat" but I'm bigger than him. Actually he weighs what my goal weight is, except he's 7 inches taller. Haha

    I don't care who weighs more, as long as he's stronger than me. :smile:
