    .....I informed my husband that I would no longer be cooking to his tastes.....

    Both my wife and I cook, maybe he'd be more on board with some of this stuff if he cooked some too. Our deal is the person that doesn't cook has to clean up, since it is more fun to make the mess, we both volunteer more.

    If he wants something more "manly"

    Grilling the steak makes a pretty healthy protein.
    Kebabs are great veg and meat

    My wife is glad I'm doing it, but isn't all that supportive at the same time. Oh well.

    My partner is on MFP and I support her efforts to lose weight and get fit. However I'm here to gain weight and get fit, so our goals are not the same.

    If she suggested a no meat Monday, I'd say "sure you do that if you want, but I'm not into that" to be honest.

    He's notice a change in my body and likes it, but he's not very supportive and he's not doing much of anything to better himself.

    My husband says I'm doing great--but is not going to participate himself. Sometimes, it's really difficult because he almost criticizes me when I don't want to eat at places that don't have healthy alternatives or I go to more than one class at the gym per day.

    Yes, my wife is a quiet lurker who has forbidden me to comment on her news feed.

    I was getting ready to head out to see my trainer this morning while the boyfriend was deep frying jalapeno poppers.

    He's so far off board, he's pretty much under it. lol

    Wife is very supportive she is on here as well.

    She makes all of our dinners and inputs them into meals so that I can just copy from her diary - Although I think this is the better choice for her instead of me nagging her incessantly over and over about how many calories are in what and what she put in what ...

    She is a class act.

    Yes. He supports and encourages me with my fitness goals and has been complimentary about my new shape. He is also on MFP and doing well.

    My live-in bf is supportive of what I am doing. I'm trying to get him to do it with me... he prefers to smoke pot and play video games.

    :)

    I'm sure though, once I start losing a lot he'll feel motivated. He has a bit of a beer belly and he knows it.

    No one in this house is dieting/changing eating habits but me. I have to force myself to resist the soda, hotdogs, chocolate cake, peanut butter, cookies, etc that are constantly in the house because just because I "want to be healthier doesn't mean everyone else has to deprive themselves of what they want."

    Also there's the fact that brother is actually trying to gain weight/muscle so he's pretty much doing/eating the complete opposite of what I am.
