YES!!!!! It may actually be better for you. Several studies suggest exercising while your body is low on food may be a good way to trim excess fat. Muscles usually get their energy from carbohydrates, which is why athletes like Lance Armstrong and Michael Phelps scarf down enormous amounts of food before a race. But if you…

I've read in numerous articles that rest is vital. You won't see any muscle growth if you don't give it time to rest.

GREAT JOB!!!!!

Hi there! I'm 5'9 Starting Weight - 160 Goal - 145

Thank you!

Thank you.

Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it and will take this into consideration.

you are absolutely right its his life and body but if you are going to commit yourself to one individual because you love them so much, wouldn't you want the other person to be healthy also, for your future and your kids?

haha..that might work lol

Thank you.

I do love him...I'm willing to make it work. I just posted this question in regards to anyone who has ever faced a situation where they wanted their significant other to be more healthy and how did it go for them.

Thank you and yes I have sat down with him and I spoke to him about my thoughts and his health. Hence, the reason he made some changes in his diet and i have told him that he is doing a great job with his eating habits...but I love him so I'm patient with his goals. Let's see where it takes us.

You're absolutely right. I got tired of responding to people and trying to explain myself or prove that I'm not a horrible person. You are also right and I will never again ask for advice on something so personal...you live you and you learn and I did learn from this. The Good and bad because some people here did have some…

Thank you.

That's awesome and thanks for responding. I never told him he was fat and was unattractive. We still are attracted to each other but this post was created for advice on how to get your significant other into fitness....

Thank you :smile: It's always easy for people to say certain things when they are hiding behind a computer but I have to remind myself that these are people that I will never meet. I came here for advice and though it may seem shallow to some people my original intent was concern for my boyfriend and our future and that…

Thank you and I'm probably not the one for him but I do love him and that's one of the reasons why I am still with him. Anyways, hoping for the best. Thanks again!

thanks for your response but to clarify, he doesn't work 13 hour shifts everyday. some days are 8 hours and other days he has off. but thanks for responding.

Yes...I'm self-centered for wanting him to be healthy... -_- thanks for responding.

good point...seems like I need to get things straight. Focus on me... thanks for replying.

you are absolutely right. Thank you

Not it's ok, I appreciate the feedback. Thank you.

That's not his schedule everyday, that was just an example of his shift. I work in a hospital from 8-5PM and then I volunteer twice a week after work. He does not support me at all (at least financially) I am tired too, if anything ALL the time because I have Lupus...I actually met him when he was working out and now all…

I agree. It wasn't that serious but I'm ok with it. If ANYTHING I am VERY supportive of the guy I am with and it pisses me off that I go here for advice and people just wanna call you attention *kitten*...smh... anyways, thanks for responding.

Yes....for people I will never meet in my life...jeesh
