    And of course...bigger picture...there are exactly ZERO wrong reasons for getting healthier.

    Just quit complaining and do it; ) and there's nothing wrong in losing weight for someone IF that's reciprocated

    Why would it be wrong to lose weight if it's not reciprocated?

    Because relationships require a great deal of fairness, in my opinion. or else there will be resentment.

    Have any of you lost weight for a man? Do you think that's a wrong reason to lose weight?

    It is absolutely wrong to lose weight for a man. He should lose his own weight, not have others do it for him!

    Speaking as someone who's ex has asked her to lose weight--and not in a "I'm worried about your health" sort of way, but, rather, "you need to lose weight before you can meet my parents" sort of way--it really depends on the context. If you're doing it because you want to feel/look/be sexier for him and you're the one who chose to do it, then go for it. BUT, if this was his idea and he told you to do it and is generally being a jerk about it? No. It's not a good reason.

    I met my boyfriend when I was at maintenance. I have recently gained about 3 stone and am now losing again. I am losing it for myself. My weight doesn't bother him, and if it did he wouldn't be the one for me! He's been really supportive and has found himself inadvertently dropping a few pounds too! If you aren't doing it for yourself you won't stick with it. :)
