Yes, my husband is following the diabetes guidelines that I follow. He is not nearly as overweight as I am. Sometimes he doesn't like what I have cooked. Most of my cooking comes from the American Diabetes Asso. website.

i have the opposite - my husband is an ectomorph. it's nearly impossible for him to gain weight in traditional ways. which is ironic since i just can't keep the weight off! he has followed a strict regimen for about a year now and has gained 40 pounds. he has always encouraged me to eat healthier but never pressures me. now we're working on major changes to our diet together.

My husband is 6'1 and 220. He's looking to lose about 20lbs. He tracks all his food and basically just eats larger portions than me (lucky fellow just has to copy my diary). He used to be a horrid cook, but I've taught him a lot of stuff and now he can whip up a mean egg white omelet. He is the best sous chef a gal could want--incredibly precise with measurements. When I started (42 days ago), I signed up for 7 5ks and I signed him up too. He trained with me for them and I'd be sprinting and dying and for him it was just a nice stroll--that kind of sucked. We agreed that for the last three, he would break off from me and start setting his own records. I did really appreciate him staying with me though--I felt really panicked walking/running in public at first.

My sweetie is around 185 and 5'8", so all good. I do wish he's work out and conquer his beer belly -- he hasn't had a drink in 26+ years, so I'd love the evidence to leave. I'm thinking as he sees me go to the gym more, he will too.

All in all, not a big deal. He's absurdly healthy, from sugar to blood pressure. He gave his sister a kidney 18 years ago; at that doctors were very impressed with his health, even though he does little but pace (srsly. Like, constantly).

My hubby started with me the first of January. I started to watch what I ate and exercising a few days before the new year, but started here right after the new year. He started tracking 5 days after me. I have lost 18 from the start about 12 I think since I started tracking. He has lost 28 pounds on here, and has about 10- 15 pounds to go, depending on how much he feels he needs to lose, he really didn't think he would lose as much as fast as he has.

He has been a great support since we started this. We have been going to the YMCA three to four times per week. He has always eaten what ever I cook, but has been very helpful and supportive in measuring and weighing portions. He even talked me into a "walk" today, it is February in Iowa, 50 degrees with wind like you would not believe. Well our walk ended up being a walk/ run session, I didn't use my app on my phone as he started before I could get it pulled up, I used telephone pulls to gauge my distance of when to walk and run. Had it not been for him I would not have went out today due to the wind.

Josh is 6'5" and 295. He carries all his weight in his gut. When he's at home with me, he eats like me. He is a salesman for a plant company and lives 800 miles away from January-June. It is balls-to-the-wall, never a free minute manual labor 24/7 once it warms up a little. I have encouraged him to eat better, but...we'll see.

My husband is also heavy and trying to lose weight..we are trying to encourage each other...its nice to have each other on this journey.

My husband has steadily gained weight since he got out of the Navy. None of his clothes fit anymore and when I tell he he tells me I am wrong. He drinks coffee from dawn to dark he skips all meals until 7pm then eats until 11. I have pointed out his ways nicely, not so nicely and still I get nothing. I would like to say he supports me but he don't and he cant until he gets himself under control. He knows I am struggling, he knows my life struggles and will still bring me home a donut. IDK why he is in such denial....he has a brother that is close to 500 lbs and it is in his genetics to be large....we both have to work hard to be healthy but he just wont do it. I am trying to find the motivation I had before we met when I was on track and doing great...also when I was 211lbs (now 254). I love him to death but I cant make him care about himself I have tried and it is exhausting.

My boyfriend was an overwieght kid but he seems to have grown out of it for the most part, he's 6'3 and around 240. He has diabetes type 1 and does pretty well controlling his meds and food. He loves pizza but says it's too many carbs for him so he only eats it maybe once a year now. He doesn't care for fast food and he likes veggies but I don't, so we never have them when we cook at home, except a salad. He gave up diet soda at home to support me in my efforts of eventually giving up all soda, but he still drinks it at work. He stands and moves boxes at work so he gets enough exercise. I know he wants to get a little more in shape so I was going to show him MFP and see if he'd be interested, not so much to lose but to just be more aware of his cals and maybe do a little weight lifting. He's very supportive of what I'm doing here and he knows it's the first time something is really working for me.
