Is your SO also on MFP?

Just wondering how many "teams" we have here!
My hubby is Joyfuldadzie, though he's much quieter than I am (just like IRL.) Even so, it's fun having him on my friends list and being on this healthy journey together.

    seaniefarts - only got him signed up the other day but he has promised me that we are going to start lifting heavy together.
    He's my best friend and absolutely delicious aswell.

    My husband has been on mfp with me the entire 8 months and had been so encouraging to me and lost 45lbs himself in the process. Because of our success, my mum. My dad, my sister, two of my brothers, a couple of cousins and a really good friend of mine have all joined mfp and are consistantly losing weight.

    This site rocks.

    Nope! My hubby is fitter than me, and since I do all the cooking we basically eat the same things except since he needs lots more calories than me I just hand him some homemade wheat bread or bake him a healthy treat.

    We run together though when we can :)

    My husband joined a couple of weeks after I did, and he mostly just logs and keeps to himself, but he's losing now too, and I like that he's aware of what we're both eating. It makes dinnertime easier.
    Also, when he eats badly he makes sure we go walking. :D

    yes, but he doesnt log in very often :(

    he doesnt seem as motivated as me, which is sad because i think we'd have fun cooking/working out together. but oh well

    My wife was on MFP first. I joined a couple of weeks later and we've been helping each other out.

    Yup! My fiance is petkus331, and we've been on together since January. I'm much more active on here than he is, though.

    I signed him up and he logged for a day and now just makes excuses. He doesn't need to lose weight but since he travels for work (pilot) he has a hard time getting enough calories and always feels fatigued. I wanted him to use this site so we had a better idea of what was going on. I told him since he doesn't log he can't complain about it.... I just need a nice pair of ear plugs.

    YES! After seeing my success on MFP, my husband joined a month ago and has already lost 10 lbs! We love this site!

    The Sass' are on... The lovely DangerSass and me, Mr.DangerSass. Of course I had to actually change my original ID and agree to other stipulations and favors in order for her to friend me. Been worthwhile ever since. :o)

    My boyfriend is. I started at the end of February and he joined in May after seeing my progress. He's lost 32 pounds so far and has gained so much more confidence. It's great to have a partner on this site.

    My boyfriend is on here, but he doesn't post on the forums, just tracks his food.

    Nope but he is overweight. He doesn't show any interest in losing weight. Apart of me is happy he isn't here though. I don't want him involved in everything I do. He tends to be more competitive rather than supportive. It would turn into an " I lost more than you" or a "you're doing it wrong" sort of thing.

    My husband is on MFP, but I'm his only friend. He only uses it to journal his food (when I remind him to). He's been better about it lately, but doesn't seem to want to make friends on here like me :)

    I've been thinking about having my boyfriend join MFP so he can track calories and gain weight. Hes tiny (5'10, 120 lb) and no matter how much I lose I still look fat i pictures with him!

    My husband and I started at the same time back beginning of January this year. So far we have each lost over 50 lbs. sounds good to say we have lost 100 together. We are both doing so much better health wise it is amazing. We found this website by accident and for some reason it just worked. We each would like to lose another 20 and are still trying. Kinda at a standstill right now and having to exercise even more. In the end we are both happy where we are so life is good!!

    My SO joined not to long after I did. He does not log his food, he rarely exercises and he drinks a lot, his eating has changed up a little bit, because I want to have healthier foods in the house.

    If he wants something like fast food I tell him to go ahead and I will just eat what we have here. Sometimes he doesn't go and get the fast food and just eats what we have here, so I suppose it is helping him out too.

    He is very encouraging to me though. He is five years younger than I and doesn't have quite as much weight to lose as I do, so I don't badger him about it. If he wants to do it, he will.

    Edit to say, my photo is not my SO, it is of me and my brother on my birthday last year.

    Not only is my boyfriend Nich of 2 1/2 years on here, (StoneColdLiger) but so is his dad. Sadly, both me and Nich have fallen in and out of this site. His dad has stuck with it a bit longer and lost about 40 lbs.
