Relationships v weightloss / health

Thankfully, no. What I eat and that I exercise has never really made a difference in my relationship.

We have different interests and some of the same interests and we interact accordingly.

I think when this kind of lifestyle change affects a relationship there's something deeper going on, good or bad.

I have lost the weight since being married but it was my own choice to be healthy on the other hand my husband eats unhealthy, smokes and only works out when he has to so yes it has at times caused a strain on us. It makes him feel not so good when people say things like man how did someone like you land someone like her but we all make our choices some choose to be healthy and some don't.

I have a pattern of being in awesome shape while NOT in a serious relationship, but then when I am in one, I blow up like a balloon. ?? I feel like a fraud now because when I met my husband I was 135. Almost immediately I started to pack on the weight.
Now I am 200 in only 2 years. He is the greatest man in the world to me and encourages me. I am so self conscious in front of my own husband, but he reassures me and supports me all the time.

I met my awesome boyfriend on MFP, so right from the start we had similar goals/values when it comes to fitness/health. We motivate and push each other and have just as much fun stuffing our faces with sushi as we do going for a bike ride (okay, sushi may be slightly higher on the fun list than biking, but it's close enough )

Oh wow that's the first I've heard of people meeting through MFP! That's amazing.

She beats me....

Don't listen to him...he's just being silly

Now who let you out of the basement!?

Nope I got worse. I come home and I have the choice between spending time with him or exercising, so I spend the time with him. And he like to eat bad things, and sleep schedule is way off Wish I could come up with a way to make both aspects of my life work in harmony.

It has put some complexity into mine and my husband's relationship, but more than anything I think we have become stronger individuals and as a team too. We were already pretty fit and active people (but I noticed that with recent hormonal changes and basically doing the same routine I had gained some fat), so it was a bit hard to grasp and understand the additional effort that I was putting into it.

Initially, it put a strain on things because I was so excited about my weight/fat loss and finally finding something that I enjoyed, that it took a little while to balance everything else in my life with it. Plus, I was grossly undereating and that made me tired and cranky. But we did talk through things (because that's what husbands and wives do), and like I mentioned in another thread, my birthday gifts in June from him were all fitness related. A month later, he had something of an epiphany when he couldn't complete one of my circuit training DVDs, but he was throwing a 6'3" frame around doing burpees and lunges (as opposed to me is hard doing the same with a 5'1" frame). Now we have a shared interest/passion in fitness and weight loss and I'm incredibly proud of him for how far he has come in a short period of time.

Frankly, I still tend to talk a lot about how I'm progressing with my lifts, and I have probably spent more money on cute sports bras and a squat rack but for all our intents and purposes fitness and health IS a factor in our relationship and we have learned to give it it's due worth.

I think I'm pretty lucky in that my fiance has been super supportive, he even started running with me. Just about the only time he whines is when I don't want to spend a bunch of calories drinking with him or eating a cheeseburger, but for the most part he's happy I'm becoming a healthier me.

See my boyfriend is supportive... He comments on the changes I've made and my body. But he still always wants to eat out and he does no exercise. And I'm kind of finding him less appealing in not sharing my new found love of life? Eg: I'd like to go for a picnic or a walk, he'd like to watch a movie or go to dinner like we've done a million times before
I feel horrible saying it because he's beautiful in general

Hahah. We are in the same boat.

I pursue running & fitness and my husband perfects his home brewing of craft beer. We are 2 different people with 2 different sets of interests. But, we are undeniably 100% comitted to each other and we cheer each other on. I do things that are in line with his hobby (ie beer paring dinners, craft beer themed events...and there are TONS of them!!) and he supports my racing and training schedule. We are going to DC in just over 2 weeks so I can run my first full marathon. We support each other, we don't have to be exactly alike.

Welcome to my neck of the woods.

Mine, too. We have divided interests and we encourage each other equally. We are able to be individuals in our relationship. I've always been heavy and just got heavier after getting married. I'm now below my weight when we started dating and my husband has been completely awesome...cheering me on every day. No matter my weight, he's always been loving, kind and supportive. Now, I feel better about myself and know that he's sincerely proud of my efforts and accomplishments...which makes me feel incredibly loved!

My bf chills me out... Yesterday he got snarky with me since I woudn't eat my mom's birthday cake since I didn't know how to log it and didn't feel like estimating and waited till I got home and made myself a 321 mug cake.. He told me that I should have just made it work with my "calorie thingy". He was probably right.
