Mrs Wife and I are both members of MFP and encourage each other throughout the day. Are there any other husband/wives/partners etc on here and how are you working together ?

    My partner and I are doing this together! We finally took our half naked pics today for comparison later when we lose some weight!

    My husband saw that I lost the weight so easy that he is now trying to do this. So far he is doing pretty good but only been at it a few weeks

    My girlfriend, Ashley (in pic) and I are working together as well. She got me hooked on MFP.

    We are both WAY skinnier now than in that pic!

    I started first on MFP but Hubby joined soon after. We just ran our first 5k together last weekend. It was my first, first and his first in a while.

    It's wonderful to have support right in your own house and everyday life.

    My husband is very supportive :)!

    He has been there w/me walking, lifting weights etc. He had droped 32 pounds and I lost 2-3 :/ I then went to the doctor found out I had some serious health concerns and had to switch the diet to a Low carb diet. At first he stayed with the diet we had before since he was ok but he eventually went LC with me cuz its so much easier lol. I never forced him to switch his diet he just felt it was better for me to not have tempting food in the house since he knew I was stuggling. That is a great husband :)!

    My husband has one, used it for awhile but stopped. He is supportive at home... but he doesn't need to lose weight. He's a Marine, he keeps himself in amazing shape....

    My hubby is in the best shape. Hes 6'1 and 184 pounds...curse him!! :) He walks with me sometimes. I would love if he would support me more. Sometimes I think he wants to keep me a little heavy.

    My husband and I are not friends, as he purely uses MFP on his phone for tracking calories. He actually stopped using it recently. He said he now has an idea of how much to eat, so he doesn't need to log anymore. He is doing great. He lost 15 lbs in a little over 2 months, and his abs is getting yummy.

    We both use MFP, but hubby uses it for tracking only. I gave up FB, so this is my replacement lol

    My wife started using MFP and I could see the difference it was making for her, so she convinced me to give it a try. Now...I'm hooked! I haven't been this motvated to get in shape/drop weight since high school, and I don't have to starve myself (former HS wrestler). MFP has been a great tool for the both of us! We are both very supportive, and try to keep each other in line with our goals.

    My husband joined about 10 days ago to support me. He uses this site to track his calories and his "burns". He isn't looking to lose weight and is quite healthy/fit, but some days he burns soooo many calories that he isn't sure how much to eat back. I joined to help me lose the weight I gained when I broke my foot 6 months ago. I have made tons of friends here, and he wanted to see "what the fuss was about" so he joined. Then he got hooked into the ease of tracking calories. :) He is super supportive of me, but his schedule keeps him from home a lot (he is in the military) so this site is one more way we can stay connected.

    My husband and I are on MFP, though he doesn't use it as often as I do. He wants more to bulk up rather than lose weight.

    My husband and I are on MFP, doing P90x and run together daily. I couldn't have come as far as I have without him! We motivate each other. Plus, some of the group discussions on MFP make for fun conversation:)

    My husband and I are both doing it. I was watching what I ate first, then he started using MFP and got me using it. I guess I had made an account here like a year before, but never used it until recently.

    My fiance and I are both trying to get into shape/lose weight before our wedding. He's on Weight Watchers, I'm on here. We support each other, but have different ideas about working out, so we aren't fitness buddies.

    While I'm on here, my husband is on Lose it. I'm trying to bring him over here for the community aspect. He is just so into only logging his meals on his phone though.

    My husband and I are both on MFP. Proportionately, he's much thinner than I am, but in actual pounds we have the same amount of weight to lose. We started MFP at the same time. It makes it much easier to plan dinner with us both trying to lose, although his calorie goal is much higher than mine. He makes up the difference with bigger portions and higher calorie breakfasts and lunches than me. We go walking together after dinner, and I make sure if I buy goodies for the kids it's things he doesn't really like so that he's not tempted to eat them. So far it's working very well for us. He was sent to South Africa at the beginning of June to work down there for a month, and we thought this would mess up his weight loss. I bought him a travel food scale, and he's staying in a hotel that has a small refrigerator and microwave, so what he does is go to the Woolworth's that's only a 10 minute walk from his hotel, and buys bread, cheese, lunchmeat, fruit, salads and ready made packaged meals. He weighs everything to get an accurate count. I found a Woolworth website that lists all the nutritional info for the products he bought, did the kilojoule to calorie conversions for him, and he's been able to stay with the program. We talk to each other every night on Skype and have been encouraging each other with our diet and exercise, and if he eats out with the people from work, he takes a picture of his meal and I research and figure out what he ate, estimate the portions, and log it for him. We'll see how well "we" did with his intake when he comes home on July 1st, because he's had no access to a scale to weigh himself. But yes, we are definitely doing this journey as a team!

    My husband isn't on yet... recently he started going to the gym with me. And after that he started eating healthier. He's been "participating" with me when I log or use my MFP account at night on the tablet, so I think he'll get an account soon.

    He's doing well, MFP strategies that I'm sharing with him are helping him be successful, so I think he'll want to get involved :) Either way, I'm OK; just happy he's supportive of what I'm doing (wasn't in the past) and isn't jealous of all the time I'm spending in the gym!

    My husband joined before I did and he has lost about 20lbs. We both have a considerable amount to lose but working together sure does help :)

    My husband hasn't joined MFP but we started this lifestyle change together. We are both down almost the exact same weight!! It's nice to have a good support system at home.

    Both of us are successfully following MFP. Frankly, it would be very difficult to do wo her involvement because as is common she runs the kitchen. Think we've lost something like 35# combined. I started a little sooner
