People who are married and have lost weight...

My wife says she really appreciates the weight loss I've had... Makes things a bit easier... She appreciates the fact that I'm actually doing more and can do more now...

I am curious, of you ladies ( and gents!) who have lost say, 50 lbs or more, how did it affect your marriage/relationship? I know my husband loves me either way, but I am curious. Examples of what I am curious about: struggles with eating habit changes at home, struggles with new body making you feel like a different person, etc.

My husband is used to me losing weight! I was around 147lbs and a UK size 10/12 (us 6/8) when we met, then i put on weight when I did my teacher training, lost around 42lbs for our wedding, got pregnant straight after, lost the baby weight, got pregnant again, and I've now lost 51lbs after baby no. 2 and can wear clothes I wore when I met him nearly 10 years ago!

I think my love of exercise has encouraged him to think more about exercise, but we've always been healthy. He occasionally gets a pizza or something and I just don't have any. Having young children makes us very aware of what we cook anyway as we want them to grow up with healthy eating habits.

I don't think anything has changed to be honest. He's always loved me and always thought I was gorgeous.

I would say it has improved for the better as we both try to improve ourselves. I love how attractive he finds me now and love when he compliments my efforts and accomplishements. Our sex life has improved tremendously as well!! A lot of times one person in a relationship drastically changing their lfiestyle helps bring the other person on board too to be healthy with you and better themelves as well.

I have lost 54 pounds and am aiming to lose 37 more.

I have a fantastic husband. We have been together since he was 15 and I was 17. He loved me then, at about 160 pounds, and he has, to my amazement, loved me when I was nearly 300 pounds. He tells me that he likes me when I am at a lower weight only because my self-esteem is so much better...in other words, he is more likely to see more of me when there is less of me to see. He has been very supportive in my weightloss as he knows that it makes me happy and I have become more energetic to keep up with our kiddo better, which makes all of us happier. My hubby even jokes, or at least I think/hope he's joking, that he will be upset if I get "too skinny".

My husband is pretty supportive, so it seems like same old. I was 19 and very fit when we met, so I think he is secretly looking forward to me getting that body back.

I've lost 26 pounds since February and my wife says I am a lot easier to hug!

I've only lost about 32 lbs, but I don't think I actually logged my highest weight, so I may be near the 50lb club. My husband is extreamly supportive of me loosing weight. He's always made it a point to tell me that he didn't mind that I had gained the weight - what he DID mind is how much it affected how I viewed myself. I was deperessed. Unmotivated. And not willing to truely do productive things to change my life. I was a a**hole to myself and my body for a good couple years.

I don't like being really heavy. I don't mind a little chunk and curves here and there - but I look and feel so much better when I'm in the category of "slightly heavy" as opposed to morbidly obese.

I love my husband fat, thin, young, or old. So his weight has never been a factor... It's on my side of the equation. I think it has helped our relationship that I made the decision to get healthy. Who wants a dumpy, chunky, frumpy wife that hates how she looks? NO GUY EVER.

It really didn't change my marriage much.... Seems we are more close now..... He married me when I was a size 18 and I'm a 4 now.... Things are GREAT though.....

My husband is so supportive. I couldn't have done this without him. Together, we've lost almost 150 pounds, each about 75ish pounds. I'm so proud of him! He first started doing this with me to help me because he knew how unhappy I was with my weight. We're so much more active, it's really helped our marriage, I think. Now, instead of playing on the computer or watching TV, we take a nightly walk and that's our time to catch up over the day and to talk about things that need to. We're more active, happy, and healthier. Sure, there's struggles. He doesn't understand why I'm so hard on myself when I don't lose the weight I want to (he's much more chill about that), but he's a man. :P And doesn't understand the frustration that is women's clothing! He's got it easy in comparison!

But it's been the best decision we ever made, and one I couldn't have done without him!

As far as the calorie counting... I dunno. I'm that person. That unashamed person that no matter who I am with or where I am at, my phone's out and the words, "I wonder how expensive /that/ is!" Everyone who's a part of my life knows and understands. /Especially/ my husband. So, be you, do what you gotta do! He'll still love you and will congratulate you on your perseverance!
