in Introduce Yourself
I have put on nearly 6 stone since meeting my boyfriend.
I am horrified.
Anyone else in the same boat?
I feel gutted that i let it get this bad before i did something about it.
I need some mega support as i cant afford to go to any slimming clubs.
I'm messaging people and getting no replies.
Anyone serious about being a diet buddy?

    :) I'll help if I can!
    I find that I eat A LOT more when my bf's around. :(
    He's a heavy eater but he's tall! & if I eat as much as he does, well...
    So I'm trying to lose more weight, too!

    I am not sure what 6 stones is...however.

    When I met my husband I started putting weight on and gained over 70lbs. I was 125-130 when we met....I got up to 210+ pounds.

    you don't need any fancy clubs.

    you can do it! feel free to add me if you would like :) im on here a lot.

    I racked up about 3 stone with my ex husband when I was already overweight and pretty unhealthy, fair few pounds left to go!

    Will add you.

    Us Brits work in stones and pounds - 14 pounds in a stone, my target is 11 stone which is about 154 pounds I think.

    It's never too late to start. Start thinking about what you will do and not about what you've done. That's the hardest one for me...staying positive. I have 87 lbs to lose so I feel your pain! I'll be your diet buddy =)

    I started maintaining a food diary before I met my bf, and I think that's probably the only thing that's allowed me to hold steady over the last year! Feel free to add me!

    I weighed 150 pounds when I first met my boyfriend (I was around 14). I'm now 21 and was 245 pounds at my highest weight, which mostly added on VERY quickly within the past three years of us living together.

    It seems to be a very common trend for most couples since food is something that everybody has in common. Going to the movies together (eating junk there), going out to dinner together, cooking together, etc. Our relationship involved a lot of eating for a while, and as somebody who never had to watch my weight previously I barely noticed the change until I hit such a high weight.

    I'm currently 187 pounds and getting back down to where I was. I'm definitely not very motivational and I rarely find time to comment on anybody's progress that they post, but I always respond to messages and am here to talk/give advice if you wish. :flowerforyou:

    When I married my hubby, I was bigger than what I am now. He's LITTERALLY seen me thin (in hs), THICK, thin, THICKER, thin, THICKIST, now on the way to thinner for good. Be glad to have another friend for support. WARNING: I'm a bit of a nag lol

    Wanted to add that my husband and I started dating when we were 17, married at 25, and both now are 35yrs

    I have gained 48 lbs since I met my husband and I was already 55 lbs overweight before then. I am determined to lose that 103 lbs and have set a goal date of 4/4/14 to be there. If I reach my goal prior to that date, I'll be ecstatic! I feel different this time about my journey to lose weight. I have more determination and hope MFP will be the catalyst to keep me motivated. I love reading the "thinspirational" posts!!

    I've yoyo'ed from 108 when we started dating, to 175 with the first baby. Then after the second baby I dropped down to 135. I'm only 5'5" and curvy, so my current 184 looks sloppy in clothes. It also makes my back hurt.

    I feel the same. I guess once i met my husband I stopped caring what I weighed. He is a Chef and is always preparing delicious- not so healthy (read butter and cream) dishes. So that didn't help the situation he also has a weakness for ice cream. He has put on a few pounds since we've been married (10 years) but not nearly as much as me. You can add me, we can get this weigh off together.

    I feel your pain! I love my boyfriend so much.. but after we started dating I gained about 10 pounds back of the 60 I lost and to me that's a big deal! He is so supportive and even joined the gym with me =)
