If my spouse wanted to lose weight I would help my spouse all I could by not cooiing fatty foods, lots of salads etc.
I would also support excerise and good diet and yes I would join in with them even if I didn't leave to loose any weight because the healthy diet would do me good and the keeping fit would be very good for my body overall as well.
It would be something we could do together and both get lots out of.

My husband is also trying to loose weight, we both are actually and we have been supporting each other. We are becoming health conscious lately and we know this is for the best, we are also trying to stay fit so our kids can see its importance.

of course i will and I will join him as well.
But the problem is...I am too lazy to do exercises, diet is fine with me.
I can lose weight for a week with diet alone.

I will definitely support her, keep oneself fit equal to keep oneself healthy, overweight or obese is related with lot of diseases like stroke and heart disease which are preventable. But someone need to have a right way to do it, i mean by scientific methods, like knowing the food calories and daily body requirement, not by starving and refuse to eat, if in that way, i think i will not support, i rather to have a fat spouse rather than skinny sick partner!!!

Personally right now, I would Love for my husband to try and get Health conscious a little more, and try and tell me wants to find ways to loose some weight. That would mean changing his eating habits a little more which would actually benefit the two of us since I am Diabetic. But since a lot of the foods like Fruits and Vegetables cost so much, it could be a hard go for sure.

i think i would just start asking why and for what reasons, but will definitely support my partner if he wants to be healthy, i would also want to go with him and be healthy like he is, i would say that it is a good way for us to also motivate each other.

I wouldn't do anything if my husband wanted to loose weight. Just means he wants to be healthy. My husband wouldn't say anything to me, unless I started to loose to much. Now getting my husband to get and do it is a whole different story. His weight is fine, its his stomach that needs work.

Hi youless, I will encourage and accompany my spouse to do physical exercise to help him to lose weight for sure if he really wishes to do so. It would be nice to have morning brisk walk or jogging in the nearby park where the air is cold and fresh.
It's beneficial to our health to breath in fresh air while doing exercise. Moreover the scene in the morning is fascinating, and melodious birds chirping is available as well I enjoy the most is to have delicious breakfast after the walk or jog in a nearby food court where various yummy foods are served
Happy posting

Seems that both of us are caring wife. Yeah with the support and encourage from his dear loved one it's sure that the husband will be full of confidence and will continue and persist the tough loosing weight until he reaches his goal Actually my husband is too skinny and he needs to put on weight. I often accompany him to have morning brisk walk and I hope doing so can stimulate and promote his appetite to take more food Take care and have a nice day

If you read the Cosmo and afew of those magazine they would tell you this could be a sign him/her was having an affair. lol Why discourage this person? They want to do something good for themselves. There is no reason to discourage them at all. We should support our partner in all things that they set out to do.

It has not happened to us, because we are not all that overweight.however providing that my better half would like to do something to lose weight,I am sure to support her.I well know that people who are overweight are apt to get diabetes,cardiovascular disease ,etc.

i would support my partner definitely when it comes to getting fit.
following the right way to lose weight of course if it's not like he has to skip meals or purge? that is a big no! i would stop him and not support what he is doing for his self.

I will be worried if it is some drastic measure taken. THis may have health hazards. On the other hand, if it is a case of foregoing some kinds of food items, extra exercise or so , I will just keep quiet; however, if I feel it is worrying, I will try to add some nutrition in cooking what he himself prefers to eat.They are all adults and may not listen to what I say if I say something. It may even lead to ill temper.I will do something that cannot hurt him and just pray to GOd that the regimen should suit him.

youless,
I would not just jump in and say that I would fully support it especially not without her knowing if she should do it or not.
Of late, I have seen people hopping on this bandwagon because their peers or colleagues are doing it without considering if they should or should not. So unless she knows what she's doing and necessary, I would not.
The other area I am concern about is the diet, which I believe will involve the whole family when the food could not be prepared separately.
I have to go on a case to case basis for this one, if you don't mind.

If my partner going to lose weight, I will definitely do it with her, you need partner to do together so that you can be consistent and continue to do it everyday. So, at least that will give her some support and at the same time, I can also have some exercise together.

Well, to my mind, i will respect my wife's choice as long as it is not harmful to her. Moreover, as a man, who doesn't want his wife or girlfriend to be slim and hot? Although i am not a superficial guy, you know, only focus on female's appearance, i definitely have no problem with their change toward beauty.
