    My husband & I are doing MFP together. I agree, it gets a tad frustrating watching him melt away before my eyes while I am doing the exact same thing and staying the same weight but it is what it is - it will happen for me in my body's own time. We are both working toward our goals and encouraging each other to do so. It does make it easier doing it together - preparing meals, working around exercising schedules, just being there to support one another. We want to be around to nag each other into our golden years!

    My partner and I (RikiB004) are doing this together and are both hoping to lose 50lbs by next February! It's so much better to do it together - we're a great team and are constantly supporting and encouraging each other! I'm so lucky!!

    My girlfriend and I are both on here now. She has been using this more than I have, but I will be doing more in the next few weeks. We joined the gym together as well. It is motivating to have someone with a similar goal. I am excited to be exercising again. I am so tired of getting winded just from tying my shoes, lol.

    My husband and I are using MFP together. It helps that both of us are following the same plan. He has an ipod with a camera so he can take pictures of food labels whereas I have to type food into the diary. We both like this program better than weight watchers and we're both losing weight. Granted, he loses weight faster than I do, but I've come to accept it as a guy thing.

    My husband and I joined Memorial Day 2011. He is Underweight! I started at 230 and am at 174.
    The doctor told Ian, my husband, to gain 10 pounds. He uses MFP to try to eat back all the calories he burns and tries to gain. He goes up a few and back down. At 5'10" he is 141 pounds and looks like an anatomy diagram, you can trace every muscle.
    I have gone from size 20 to 14 so far. My goal is to reach a normal weight range for a 5'2" woman.
    Ian is 46 and I am 61!

    My boyfriend is trying to gain weight too. He isn't underweight, (6'1" 170) very healthy actually but he wants to bulk up. Imagine how frustrating it is to see him eating 3500 calories a day when I eat less than 2000! He uses MFP to make sure he is eating enough, because he is one of those weird people that just doesn't like to eat, hahahaha.

    My wife and i are both on MFP. We train together once a week with a trainer. At home when I'm spinning she pulls the treadmill beside me, were doing different things but at least we are together. Some times it hard to talk though when shes running up hill or im sprinting to the finish.
    Any time together is good time.

    Yea my husband and I tend to split up when we get to the gym and we go do our own thing but it's nice to still be able to spend time together and discuss how we feel afterwards. And he motivates me to get there in the first place on the days I'm feeling less than energetic
