    so all i heard for months was how bad my gf wanted a treadmill so with her income tax money we got a used one and the first two days she used it but now she has not used it anymore, I have used it and really enjoy using it But She really needs to use it also, she has more weight to lose then I do . I am happy that I have lost weight but so far shes not lost any. we also have a wii and wii fit and do that mostly to check our weights. Today I am down to 218.5 I am so happy about being below 220 hope I can keep it off.
    how do you guys get your mate to use work out equipment I really like to see her loose some weight it. e lot better for her health if she does.thanks

    You cant get anyone to want to lose weight but you can motivate in other ways. A year ago I became a regular gym rat and improved my diet. 4 months into it results became visible. My husband started running. Today he is as involved as I am. I like yo believe that seeing my success did motivate him some. Keep doing what you are doing. Soon she might feel motivated. If she doesn't at least you would have done right by yourself.

    Maybe she will start wanting to work out, just really erks me that she said forever she wanted one all i heard for weeks then we get one and doesn't use it kinda like Zumba for the Wii wanted forever and I spent 45.00 on it then she used it like twice.

    Sounds like your more annoyed that you spent money, then the fact that she's not using the equipment.

    Like everyone else said, you can't make her do something she doesn't want to do. Maybe she's afraid that by you doing what she asked, that you think that she's fat/ugly and that you don't love her as she is.

    Just let her be and when she wants to, she will.
