    For some reason, that is the first thing men think. I'm glad I decided to do this while I was single so I wouldn't have a significant other to stand in my way. I will probably stay single until I'm happy with my body.

    I've had a crush on a girl for almost 3 yrs now. As I'm losing weight, I still like her.
    =P. We're doing it together, and she's very supportive.

    maybe all the hrs spent at the gym gives us time to think of who is supporting us in our lives and who is not. Im new at the gym thing.....so its just a guess. lol

    I think there may be some truth in this.

    Fact. It was on the radio... it must be.
    It's not a fact till it's made the internets.

    *kitten*. You're right.

    Oh not for me thanks, my man is too hot to let go!..hehe

    But it is true in some cases; you do feel better about yourself, then you notice other guys checking you out and you want to test the waters...

    You know, it is funny that you say that. I really haven't noticed anyone checking me out. When I was heavier and spoken for, I had to beat them off with a stick... but now that I'm on track to be a healthy weight and single.... NOTHING! I don't get it. :ohwell:

    My husband and i gained the weight together, then I lost it and some, he hasn't. But I love him too much to even contemplate leaving. I was taught to recognize good things in my life and celebrate them, and that is what I do with him.

    Yes he is a bit more controlling now with what I wear, I think he just needs sometime to adjust to me being so small, and other people looking.

    Please don't say anything bad about him, I totally understand what he is going through and we will get over it together. I would only entertain leaving if something illegal was going on or someone was getting hurt. All else can be worked out through patience, love and compromise.

    I remember that my boyfriend got nervous when I started losing weight, but I reassured him that I was doing it for ME, and that I love that he loved me and my body at its biggest, and that I hoped he would love me and my body at its smallest, too. :-)

    It happened that way for me, but that wasn't my plan when I initially started to lose the weight. Along the way I realized that he was a big part of why I'd gained it to begin with, so I had to cut my losses.

    This is such a crock. The FACT is yo Shose to gain the weight. WAKE UP.

    Thanks for the comment. I realize that I phrased my first comment poorly. Yes, you're right, I did choose to gain the weight through poor decisions. He was one of those poor decisions. Losing the weight has always been about me, and what's right for me, hence cutting my losses with a relationship that was making me unhappy. I would say that I already have woken up, since I'm now 60 pounds down, back into a normal BMI, and am close to my goal weight.

    Just heard the DJ on my local radio station say:

    "The #1 sign you are getting dumped is your girlfriend starts losing weight."

    And......................... discuss.


    Story of my life...No really :)

    I guess if I were going to dump someone, I wouldn't bother staying with him WHILE I was losing weight. I mean, what is that about? Keeping one on a line until you're ready to go fish for another? :sick:

    When I've broken up, it's been because I knew he wasn't "the one". No sense hanging around hoping things will change if you know already, in your heart, that it's just not there for you.

    If this were true, I would have dumped my guy a few times already!

    I don't think it's true, I'm losing weight to look good to MARRY my other half, so it's bringing us closer together in fact!

    Have a friend whose husband suddenly started losing weight and dressing nicer. Turned out he had met someone and was planning to get a divorce and pursue the other woman once he was in shape. Thankfully, my friend figured it out and they worked everything out - they are still married.

    I would say barring any other significant reason (doc told them to do it etc.) someone 'suddenly' becoming interested in losing weight can certainly be a warning sign of issues in the relationship.

    ^^ This.

    Also...many people gain weight once they are in a relationship, because they feel comfortable enough to eat in front of the other person, they go out more, etc. So depending upon the amount, they could just be getting back on track!

    Here are a few:
    - Your keys to the house don't work any more.
    - Your joint checking account is cleared out.
    - Some other dude's truck is parked at your house.
    - You come in from a business trip and she's getting gussied up to go out.

    a few to add:
    - He claims he is working overtime, yet his checks don't.
    - He works a "dirty" job, yet comes home clean and smelling like cologne.
    - He says he's going to hang out with some new guy friend all the time that you've never met.
    - He heads out to the garage to talk every time the above mentioned "friend" calls his cell.

    Or the home-wrecking *kitten* posts comments on his facebook and you innocently go to check her out only to find photos, comments, etc on how she is in a relationship with your husband, has been hanging at your house while you are at work, and LOVES your new bed!

    Well... at least that's how mine went down LOL

    This is going to be a self fulfilling prophecy if I ever saw one.

    "You're losing weight and getting fitter! You're getting ready to go meet other guys aren't you?!"
    "WHAT?! Excuse me? You don't think I can do something for myself to make myself feel and look better without the motive of dumping you? Maybe I should..."

    Boom, study/story proven.
