Is your significant other 'on board'???

My wife are both on board, but I won't give up meat either. We need to squeeze it in for a healthy diet IMHO. That and men like meat.

You could just nuke him some bacon to go with something veggie if he needs it?

Mine is supportive of me changing my eating/exercising habits, but at his heaviest (now) he's up to a healthy weight for his height (always been underweight before). He doesn't have the healthiest eating habits because he doesn't see it as an issue for him, not having been overweight.

We eat as a family in the evening and he enjoys the food. And his habits are slowly improving. But given how bad they were I don't think he'll ever eat 'clean'. He also doesn't believe in exercise 'for fun' or as a hobby. He'll walk to get somewhere or do stuff that needs doing but that's it. TBF we do a lot of walking as we don't have a car and the public transport where we are is awful.

He is a bit of a fussy eater as well and would not eat a meal without meat. He would eat fishfingers (fishsticks) at a push but that's about it. He does eat some veg and salad now which is much better than he used to be.

When we were 18 and first living together we cooked separately as he had 2 meals. One was instant noodles (ramen?), and the other was a pile of sausages with brown sauce. :huh:
By those standards his diet is practically perfect now :laugh:

However he is very supportive of me. And he loves me whatever my size, which actually does help.

Yes hubby is on board, also on MFP

My bf just doesn't know how to eat healthy and make it taste good. He's also really picky and won't eat fish or wheat bread.

You can sneak in wheat bread if you find the white wheat bread they have now, here is one, http://naturesownbread.com/products/Whitewheat/WhiteWheatBread/

I might have to. Although I like the whole wheat grain breads. I haven't moved in with him yet but when we do we have to get this under control. Since I'll probably do most of the cooking, I guess he'll have to deal with it.

Yes my babe is awesome. He supports me, and I cook so if he wants to eat well...
No really he goes along with what I want, but I am a no do without the meat, I gotta have it, girl! So what's he got to be afraid of

Yep, we are both using mfp. We have taken up playing tennis together. At different times, we have each lost weight before, but never together at the same time. It's so much better when we are both changing our eating/exercise habits together. It's too easy to give up when the other person doesn't seem to care. We will be hitting the gym together once the kids go back to school.

My husband is completely supportive of what I'm doing. He likes to be experimental in the kitchen so trying new things are not an issues. He has changed his habits as I've changed mine and has dropped probably 15lbs just based of the changes I've made in what I buy at the store and what we are cooking.

However, he doesn't really exercise aside from what he gets at work. He's never been overweight for his height either....still I've tried to encourage him to exercise for his overall health. So far he hasn't found something that he's 'into' aside from after dinner walks with the family...which is good.

I HATE bitty bread, I'll have white bread at our favorite diner to avoid it, I like the taste of wheat just not the bits.

My wife and I are both picky eaters but different ways, I eat almost all sorts of veg and she is really picky. Solution is to mix them up, Swede or cauliflower mix well with mashed potato to halve carbs. Zucchini we cut like french fries and mixed those in. So a mix.

I'm picky about the whole dish and spices, so we are just trying a few things with snacks on standby. It can be done, just baby steps

The whiter your bread, the quicker you're dead. That's what my nutrition teacher used to say, since white bread tends to have bleach in it. That scared me away from white bread for the most part. I'm not picky, but I really want to eat healthy as much as possible and I feel guilty whenever I eat poorly. So I'm picky that way I guess. I'm glad he has resisted wings and mozzarella sticks for the past few weeks.

I did this for about 2 weeks consitantly when i restarted my dedication to being healthy. those 2 weeks i almost gave up again watching my wife do as she wanted and eat as she pleased, she finally decided to join the gym with me get my fitness pal and we have been doing this side by side now
