Information on weight loss for women

How are you tracking your calorie intake? Are you weighing all your food? and How long have you been calorie counting?

Chances are you have a much higher TDEE and have a lot larger margin of error than she has, she may also experience more fluctuations from hormones which may be masking her weight loss.

Honestly, depending on your wife's stats, she probably just needs less food than you. While eating the same meals is fine, she would need smaller portions. Also, make sure you are accurately measuring items. You may have some flexibility in your calories, but she may have less wiggle room.

In addition, is she tracking her food or just "doing what you're doing." My guess is that you don't spend 24/7 together.. so she could be going over calories in other ways and not even realize it. My fiancee and I eat the same types of foods for meals (although I eat less), but he also eats cookies and treats at his office. When we have cashews for a snack, I have 28 grams, he has a bowl. But he also weighs about 70 pounds more than me.

Also.. does she want to lose weight? I realize that may be a strange question, but you gotta do it for you.

My husband and I are both working towards getting healthier and more fit. The biggest difference between us is calories. Even though we both workout a lot I still have to eat substantially less than him. My BMR and TDEE are a lot lower than his. We calculated and his maintenance would be about 750 calories above mine so he can eat more and maintain his deficit. I'm closer to goal too so my calories are lower and margin of error much smaller.
