Does your Better Half Support you ?

Honestly, he’s just not that into fitness and I don’t expect him to be.

That's so awesome about your outfit that your hubby purchased.
My husband is very supportive as well. He never complains about our meal choices (which I almost always select and review) and he works out with me whenever I ask him. We both have a gym membership but couldn't both afford a personal trainer. he told me that i could have the trainer and he'd workout on his own. I really appreciated that he knew how much having the trainer meant to me. When I took carbs (pasta, bread, rice) out of our diet he gave me no crap about it. Now, he helps me make the grocery list and we do fun diets together (i.e.: no meat one week, raw veggies another, juicing, etc). It allows us to have fun. Lastly i really just love that we're on this health journey together and we are helping one another. My husband used to NEVER eat veggies, now he'll have a salad and eat his veggies first before eating any meal. He has always been in great shape and plays sports daily but he has become more lean and is feeling better as a result of the changes we've made. Having a spouse that encourages you is awesome!

Well I'm not married and I don't live with my boyfriend yet, so on one side it's not hard to support me because we aren't sharing everything, BUT when we hang out he is incredibly supportive. We don't go out to eat so much anymore, instead he is helping me learn to cook healthier meals. He encourages me to be active and if I ask him to work out with me he is there in an instant. I have mini goals for myself where I let myself buy a reward when I hit certain accomplishments and he jumped right on board and got the first reward for me. He always has supportive things to say and is very understanding. He's a little pudgy himself but I would say only about 15lbs overweight whereas I have about 121 lbs to lose still. It's a huge help having him understand me.

He supports me in that he gives me time to exercise. He'll take care of the kids, stay home while I run, etc so that I don't have to worry about it. He's also the cook in our family, so he's been adding a LOT more veggies and chicken to our meals instead of red meat and potatoes.

My Hubs is awesome at supporting me. He's always talking me up to family and friends like "isn't she looking great!?" and "do you know she runs in marathons?" (LOL, had to correct him on this one, I've only done 5ks). He's been great about all the tweaking I've done to our dinners - there are a few things he won't budge on but I find a way to get around it so it works out ok. And he's good at getting me off my butt when I need a little push too. I might be feeling lazy and mention going for a walk or a run "later" and he'll say "what are you waiting for, go do it!".

He also calls me his trophy wife.

He didn't run with me or anything before..but he has since even changed his diet to be healthier...and runs with me every night/ every other night...and we hit the gym together too

Absolutely! Inspired him to lose 50+ pounds!

My husband very supportive. Always available for a walk and willing to walk at my pace which is much slower than his.

He tries his best with everything. When he has to buy something to bring home, he literally spends several minutes reading over nutrition information! He even joined the site to help me in my journey and tries to suggest more active things we could do. We're both helping each other though he doesn't have even 1/4 of as much to lose as me. But he's trying to eat better and be healthier for our future together. It makes me so happy that he tries so hard to support me in this!

My hubby joined MFP with me. He also wants to lose some weight and when I told him about MFP, as I was about to quit WW, he jumped on board. We work together to make healthier choices and he is open to any of the skinnytaste recipes I want to try. He hasn't always been as supportive in the past, but I think we are both ready to make a change.

First- Kudos to your hubby! That was a very sweet thing to do to show support.

Second- Thankfully I am married to a man that is very supportive of me losing weight. He NEVER complains about what I make, if it's a salad for dinner, he's on board. He is also always more than happy to join me for a walk. I even got him to do Yoga with me at home...lol :laugh: (this was very outside his comfort zone) He is also good about paying me compliments even when I don't see what he does... I have to say I am very blessed! Maybe I should remember that when he leaves his clothes on the floor

mine sometimes joins me for laps at the pool, but mostly he's just willing to eat whatever I'm eating and doesn't get grumpy when its extra healthy or I don't cook a side of chicken or meat for him because I'm tired. He also motivates me to keep up the good work by getting as excited as I do when I'm down several pounds or picking me up when I gain a couple... he can be sweet when he wants to, jajaja!

My husband supports me and he loves that I'm taking care of myself. I lost 10 pounds just before my birthday and he gave me a gift certificate at Sports Authority so I could buy some exercise outfits--then he went with to help me pick them out. Also, he loves to eat health (lots of vegies) so he is really excited that I'm changing my meal planning and cooking habits--very slowly, but surely.

Glad to see that so many of us have support from our partners.:happy:

Glad you ladies all have supportive SOs... I got nothin... that is why I am here. He is more concerned about me losing my boobs more than anything I think...

The boyfriend is on here as well as has lost 11 pounds! Add him: bvswimmer33
We swim together, walk the dog, do insanity, we even buy our healthy food together
