If she needs to lose weight, then chances are she already knows it. Don't tell her because that will make her self conscious around you and others.
She may get depressed about it and eat more. Food is a comfort thing.
Offer to go out for walks with her after dinner or tell her you are feeling pudgy and want to join a gym then ask her if she wants to join with you and explain that it is easier to work out with someone and keep telling her how wonderful she looks and how pretty she is.

Well I certainly wouldn't come right out with it. And I certainly wouldn't keep bringing it up. Be subtle about it, and approach the subject in a caring manner with her. Try something like you've noticed the 2 of you have added a few pounds lately and you're thinking of joining a gym ... does she want to come too? In other words, make it about the 2 of you, not just her. Maybe try asking her if she minds cutting back some on your meals, since you're feeling too full lately ... putting on weight. Good luck!

Never, I repeat NEVER, tell your wife she is pudgy or needs to lose weight. Trust me, she knows and appreciates the fact that you love her anyway.

Tell her that you are concerned about your weight also, and want to know if she will walk with you tonight after dinner.
Make it a habit. Ask her if she would like to join you. Tell her you have noticed that she's been feeling down lately (has she?) and that could open up alot. Be loving though. She may be dealing with a medical condition that she is not aware of. Best wishes!

You can't just tell her, that will break her self-esteem and make her question your love for her. Trust me that is the last thing you want to do.
The only way is to put it on yourself. Say, "Baby, I have put on weight and I want to be as attractive to you as you are to me. Will you help me get in better shape? I can't do it alone." If you are in great shape...let yourself go for about a month and then readdress the issue.
My motto: The couple that works out together, stays together. Exercise makes you feel good and the person you share that with gets automatically associated with that feeling.
Good luck!

I think the best way is to start doing more things together to make for a healthier lifestyle. Walk with her in the evenings, if you don't already have them, purchase his and her bicycles. Join a family gym, take her away for a WEEK at the spa to get her motivated. Use tact and be considerate of her feelings, its a touchy subject. Good luck!

sensitive topic to bring up... Perhaps offer to exercise or eat healthier with her. instead of just telling her she needs to do it, bring it up as something that you both need to do. That way, she'll get the impression it's more of a group thing even though secretly you may really be doing this for her benefit more than your own. If you really want her to drop a few pounds, she may be more willing to give it the effort if she observes that you're working out and eating healthy too. Good luck.

This is a tough one,,YOU NEVER EVER tell a woman that she needs to lose weight if you want to live through it,,,you can tell her that BOTH of you have been eating unhealthy and need to exercise more to live longer and become more healthier,,but be careful how you word it....

That's a tough one. Tell her YOU want to get in shape and you need a partner to help motivate you. That way it takes the focus off of her weight and you guys can work together. And she won't get her feelings hurt.
