    Just checking to see if women would go ahead and post their opinions anyway. As always you ladies never dissappoint.

    Cook him a steak, give him a BeeJay, and tell him that he won't get either again until he drops 10lbs.

    Now that's the man's perspective! Hilarious. :laugh: (and will probably work best.)

    I'm 37, 5'9", not particularly athletic, and down from 220 to 176 so far. We'll see about KEEPING it off, but anyway...

    At any rate, I agree that there's not much you can do to motivate him to work out. My wife tried everything she could think of, with no success. You shouldn't pretend that the greater weight is acceptable, but nagging won't work either: eventually, if he wants to, he'll start losing weight. It took for me the simple realization that it was time to change, and that's all there was to it.

    I'm 6'2 and started at 280. I started mfp at 269 when I heard about it from a friend. I've always enjoyed playing basketball. Most men, generally speaking, like some kind of sport. Try to find a way to get him involved in his favorite sport. For me, I have 3 co-workers that most every day go play basketball on lunch. Of course I'm going to go play with them. Understanding that most people can't play on their lunch, try to find a group that may be involved in the same sport, no matter what it is.

    You can be an inspiration. When my husband saw me losing a lot of weight, keeping it off and working out and shaping up he shaped up too. Also I grocery shop and cook differently now. So he eats better without really trying. Less fat, more fish and veggies. Taste from spice and healthier options.

    Stick with it and maybe he will be inspired by you! Especially when you look hot and well…

    Leave some business cards for divorce lawyers laying around the house or cut him off then tell him for every 10lbs he loses he will get some.

    He's got to want it!!! He's not identifying with any of the success stories you've shared so far because he is looking for an excuse as to why HE can't do it. "Well that guy is younger, that guy is taller, that guy played basketball in college, etc etc" Those are just excuses for him as to why his situation is different. BUT, his situation is not different from a million others out there who have done it. It takes inner will power, self-motivation, discipline, and desire. Until he has those things about it, there ain't no becoming a success story himself.

    Agreed but he also needs the correct information. Because there's a butt load of thw wrong info or conflicting info out there.

    Tell him that since you've started working out, a lot of guys guys are flirting with you.
