    Tell your BF to man up and hit the weights. I am 6 feet 185 and I feel great.

    If I lost 26 pounds the women would think I was sick!!!!

    Your boyfriend is 5'11 / 159? We're sure he's a man, right?


    I wouldn't date a man that's 200lb plus... he'd squish me. :(

    Wait. so you wouldn't date a guy that "looks" like he weighs more then you but you're sad that he weighs a similar amount? :huh:



    If he weighed 190lbs.. he would look bigger than me for sure.... :)

    Sounds like you're going to have to start feeding him better so you can get this behind you. But seriously don't worry about how much you weigh compared to someone else. Find what is good for you and work on that as a goal. 220 is a really good weight for me but has no bearing on what my wife weighs. (Better not. I'm 6' 2" and she's 5' 3")
    I haven't told him how much I weigh but i had him guess
    The cruel mind games that women play on men. *shakes head* Poor guy probably sweated for hours after that question hoping he said the right thing.

    No kidding, lol. I ask my husband those questions that have no right answer ALL the time. Watching him squirm to come up with an answer that's truthful yet won't land him in the doghouse is fun... JK



    hehe. ;)

    PS: I will never understand why men and women in relationships need to share their weight with one another.

    WOW he is really skinny Im 5ft 8inches tall and my goal weight is a stacked 190 currently im at 235. 190 would also put me at 8 to 10 percent body fat. Personally if I were you I would stop worrying that you weigh as much as him you look great. He needs to put on some lean mass.

    Yeah, not to be a jerk but I'm thinking your boyfriend should be the one to feel insecure next to YOU :P

    With measurements of 36-28-36, what are you worrying about? You sound near perfect to me. It's the tape measure that matters, nothing else (literally nothing else). It's irrelevant how much your boyfriend weighs in comparison (I'm shorter than my boyfriend and weigh more than him too).

    Please appreciate your nice figure while you have it. Hopefully, you won't say goodbye to your waist when you're 40 like I did! If I'm lucky I might get it back, but I'm not counting on it.

    I'm hoping I turn out like my parents.. they are both super fit.. They do crossfit everyday, run marathons, summit mt. rainier. haha my mom weighs 110lb... and she's 5' 3". I thought my mom is suppose to weigh more than me. :(

    I think you look amazing and don't need to worry about it!! So what if your number is close to your BF's? I think that alone scares you and you think it's wrong. But you look great and I definitely wouldn't say you need to lose more weight, I'd LOVE to be your size, FYI!!

    Agree, he's a slim thing at that height! But that aside, don't worry about it :)

    I used to borrow my boyfriends leather belts and levi's, we had the same waistline even though he was much heavier and taller, THAT was bad.

    But no more! Now I not only do not borrow his clothes, but I endlessly annoy him with my eating and exercise habits. All in all he's a good sport though, with a very open mind when it comes to food, which is great.

    Keep on rocking it for YOU!

    Please don't be depressed that you weight more after you a) eat, b) drink, and c) work out. Of course you do! Because water has mass, too. :)

    You are a seriously pretty lady. The only thing that could *possibly* be an issue was if your weight continues steadily creeping up (you say you were lighter when you first met him). In which case, good on you for starting to watch what you eat now.

    But please don't get hung up on a number.

    It's been 20+ years since I've had a girlfriend who weighed less then me. It's not an issue for a lot of guys.

    I agree that men carry weight differently. They have much different body shapes, and body fat distribution.

    1) He's probably a hard gainer/ectomorph. And you, madam, likely a mesomorph/have a muscular build.
    2) I weighed more than my husband like, FOREVER. I didn't tell him my weight until I weighed less than him. :) And now I weigh 20ish pounds less, and can fit into his clothes.
    3) I would only feel bad if you could bench press more than him. ;)
    4) Your parents sound AWESOME! What a fantastic example you had!
