I'm 5'0" and my waist is 28" … I'm much shorter and my waist is still larger than you. I'm working on changing that, but I'm also about 10 lbs from my weight goal so I know it's not going to get a whole lot smaller.0
-
haha! No problem there. XD
Yeah, it's super hard, since now his metabolism is higher than it was before, since he didn't used to eat breakfast but I'm slowly getting him into good eating habits so he's been eating breakfast for a few months now! But that means his metabolism is a little higher than when he skipped it. But also, it's more expensive to eat more, of course, so I thought of getting him high calorie bars or something to at least help. And lots of carbs, I shall try that.
I also give him more food than I give myself when I serve dinner. >.>0 -
what a horrible problem to have {sarcasm} lol.
It kind of is in all seriousness lol. Its so much harder to gain weight than it is to lose it.0 -
It IS really small, he's underweight, yeah, is true. His BMI is even below 16. But he does eat and he tries to gain weight but he's also really busy with his work lately and mostly only eats 4 pieces of bread and dinner a day...So he NEEDS to train in order to gain weight but he's a little busy right now and doesn't find it very 'important.' Like it's ONLY about appearence. I don't think he's as suppourtive about me losing weight or..anyone, really.
No matter how hard he trains he will not gain weight, unless he eats more than maintenance. even with strength training he will continue to lose weight, unless he ups his caloires considerably.0 -
At 6'2" and 123 lbs, I just can't imagine that he is healthy. I'm 5'11" and 123 lbs is underweight for me.0
-
No, he doesn't need to train. Eating so little he'll just get even skinnier. Buy him a weight gainer powder and some chocolate bars.0

YES my husband is the same height as I am and was usually 135, and psyched that he's up to 140. I can fit in a couple of his pants. Hopefully all soon!
Much be interesting to be the same height! Whenever I hear a guy weighs less than 145, it just always seems small to me.0 -
from the time I was 15 until I was 26 I was 6' 125lbs with a 29 inch waist and ATE everything in sight. I started working out hard in my 20's, drank protein drinks and I only gained 10lbs/ year. It wasn't until I got older that I started gaining weight more easily (then more than I wanted).
If he is otherwise healthy, then his weight should not be an issue. We put too much emphasis on the "perfect" weight, when in fact, NOBODY knows what that is!0 -
I used to be in shape, and hope to get there again. Your story reminds me of when we went to get fitted for tuxes. They measured me last and when they measuered my bicep my soon to be 17 yr old step son gave me a real funny look. I asked what was wrong, and he said, "Your bicep is as big as my neck!" I told him, "And don't you forget it either!"I knew my boyfriend was small, but I didn't think *that* small!
We had a bet going that whomever lost/gained more weight, would win, so he was supposed to gain weight of course, but he didn't train for a long time, so I officially declared him the loser. So, I weighed him in just to check, and he weighs 56kg(123lbs)!!! Especially at 188cm(6'2") that's tiny. TINY. And I measure his waist, maybe his waist got bigger, he used to be 76cm(30") and now I find out he's 69(27").....I'm 172cm(5'8")....
MY BOYFRIEND HAS THE SAME WAIST SAME AS ME!!! How depressing...it's really demotivating..
Anyone gone through that? (even though it's almost ridiculous at 27", so feel free to share if you're bigger than that! )
Now, my waist has caught up with my age(56). That's why I am on this sight... 0 -
One of the things that got me motivated was when I realized I weighed more than my bf, he loses and gains weight so easily when he's not even trying to and I remember his family making fun of him because he'd gained weight and when they weighed him he weighed about 5 lbs less than me. He's only about 3 or 4 inches taller than me but he's a dude, so I think he's supposed to weigh more! So I became determined to weigh less than him... now he's got about 25 pounds on...=)0

123 at 6'2 seems almost too small. Maybe he should look into that.
Maybe see his doctor? Has he always been this thin?0 -
No, he doesn't need to train. Eating so little he'll just get even skinnier. Buy him a weight gainer powder and some chocolate bars.
I want him to train maybe 15 min a day so he'll get hungrier to get in the mood to eat more, but of course he needs to eat more..a LOT more.0 -
I knew my boyfriend was small, but I didn't think *that* small!
......
That's all I read.
Poor kitty.0 -
Chm- It is a fantastic feeling to weigh less than your bf!
swiss- he has always been thin. I'm more worried that he's actually been LOSING weight. He just seems to get smaller and smaller, and I'm not gonna wait until he's 1,5%BF to do something about. It's like being anorexic without knowing it, since he's so busy and eating about 1000-1300 calories a day. Plus, being so tiny has just as many bad things as being too big does. And I like that he still has hair! I don't want it to start falling out, he'll look like his father in no time. 0 -

Tell him to drink those ensure drinks. They help you gain weight0 -

Ensure? Never heard of it. Also on a budget, so can't buy anything too expensive like protein shakes or bars(which seem totally overpriced), also we are in Netherlands(visit Belgium..) and we have a lot of different products, apparently.0 -
I'm about 10kg (22lbs) heavier than my gf
I'm hoping to become at least her weight... 0 -
I know the feeling...My husband and I are the same height. When we met, I was wanting to lose about 15-20lbs. He was fit & at a healthy weight. We weighed roughly the same. Then I gained a lot over the next two years & he stayed about the same. On our wedding day, I looked like a beached whale next to him; which is fitting, since we were married on the beach.
It was a top goal of mine to weigh less than him haha and now I'm about 20lbs lighter than he is :-)0 -

(you're also female right? not some guy pretending to be? XD) Yeah, I think that's really hard as well. It's like a never-ending battle, since every girl wants to be smaller than their significant other! So, they may lose weight when you do. XP It's super tricky that way. Well, more of a measurements war than anything else, I think.0 -

Almost? He's underweight by at LEAST 25 pounds.0 -

haha, well, congrats! When I get him at a healthy weight, I WILL be smaller than him. I am so determined. haha
We look so weird together like that, a tall thin guy next to a shorter bigger girl..with small boobs and huge hips. It just makes me look even bigger! His sisters are like D-DD cup with like 24 in waists! How is this fair..? XD0 -
what a horrible problem to have {sarcasm} lol.
It kind of is in all seriousness lol. Its so much harder to gain weight than it is to lose it.
Given the choice between not being able to gain weight, and not being able to lose weight, I'd choose not being able to gain weight. You at least are not socially ostracized for being thin

And I mean, I'm not TERRIBLY big. I do think my waist is rather huge, since I'm 5'8"(172) and 130lbs(59kg).
Wait, you're 5'8" and you think having a 27 inch waist is huge for a woman your height? Hmmm, k.0 -

LMAO! That was my first thought too!0 -

It's not actually huge, it just seems big than a lot of people's. Especially since I am small-framed, it looks bigger than it should. I just wish to be a couple in. smaller in that area. Everyone wants improvement and is the hardest on themselves. 0 -
Its OK my bf is 6.1 and weighs about 146 and me I'm 5.3 and I'm 185 pounds its depressing :sad:. But he said that u can't tell how much I weigh by looking at me but it still doesn't make me feel better cuz before I became a diabetic I weighed 100 pounds i gained 85pounds from my shots. So don't be sad OK? :flowerforyou: :drinker: ull loose the weight I have faith in u!!!!!!!!!!! Lol0
-

Aww, you're sweet! It's just worse since I have a small frame so weigh on me looks different than it does on most 5'8" girls. At my weight they have flat stomachs and look gorgeous and I have this...blob attached to the front of my body. If it were gone, I'd be the happiest. So, is nice to look less than you actually are! 0 -

Yeah very true, that we can be harder on ourselves than others. I wish you well on reaching your goals. I tend to like slim guys, so if a guy is smaller than me (as long as he's taller than me) then it's a turn on for me, but I understand other women prefer to be slimmer than their mates.0
