How can i get my girl to work out and lose some weight?
ive been with my girl for almost 3 yrs now. i love her but have some issues with her figure and weight. i aint superficial so dont even answer this question with that kind of comment. she was chunky when i met her but she gave me the impression that she was in the beginning of a working out lifestyle. well let me tell you, in three yrs the girl doesnt work out. starts some bullsh't fitness tape and it might go like that for a week or two but dies out. she is really short and at one point she was pushing 170. i keep telling her that she needs to work out and she would be so sexy at like 130. for you girls out there that are getting pissed, hey im sorry. i work out very hard and i got a little belly fat. its b/c i dont do any cardio. just to give you some specs, im about 5'10 207, bench 365, deadlift 410 etc. i dont piss around in the gym. even if the girl would at least work out. i just want a girl with a good body. . how can i really get her to do it permanently? help me out

Yeah-sticky situation! It is hard to say anything without hurting her feelings. Try to get her to go to the gym with you! Weight loss is 80% diet! If you can somehow get her to change her diet-then it would help! Once she starts losing weight-it will motivate her to do more. Go to this site and type in your info-then casually get her interested-put in her info-it will say she is overweight or obese http://www.dietitian.com/ibw/ibw.html I have had 3 kids-I am only 5'1" tall-I have lost 25 pounds in 2 months! I did it mostly with diet. He never said anything about the weight gain-but can't get over how good I look now! I only need to lose like 5 more pounds-maybe! I always got jealous if he looked at other women-like in movies-lingerie models etc-sometimes it made me mad and I wanted to lose weight-other times-it made me feel crappy-so I still wanted to lose weight. Just be careful what you say-although sometimes you just have to be blunt! Tell her you are gonna start working out with a girl you met at the gym-say she is so fit and in good shape. Maybe then she will go with you! Hope it works out!

You might start by walking with her 30 minutes a day. That is what my husband did for me then we worked up to an hour a day. The cardio would be good for you too. It also is a great time for talking with one another. Try to be encouraging by eating healthy with her. When I needed to lose weight my husband went on the eating plan from Weight Watchers with me. It really helped that we were both doing the plan together.

Well ,women don't lose weight as fast an man because your metabolism burns faster than ours. Don't be a jerk about it just tell her in a nice way by saying maybe you need to slow down on eating so much grease its not healthy.Nothings wrong with just asking a question I wish my boyfriend soon to be husband of six years would have told me something instead of just letting me eat anything I wanted and ate healthy food with me.

Well, it definitely won't help if you're pushing it down her throat. Come up with some "dates" that will get her moving. Go on hikes, etc. Ask her to lift weights, run, or even walk with you. How are your eating habits? If she cooks for you, let her know that you want to eat healthier/low fat meals. Make her think that she's cooking for you, when in all reality, it will help her. Before she will actually stick with an exercise program, she has to hate her fat. Encourage her; don't nag. Good luck!

Well..I would first ask why is it your issue?
Then I would tell you to approach it like this...invite her to workout with you...walking, jogging or the gym. If you tell a person that you don't like they way they look and want them to change it can be a bad move. You must approach this with kid gloves and make it about nutrition and good health.
You on the other hand need to ask yourself if its her body or your ego that is the issue.
Good luck and be well!!

If your not happy with her the way she is, find someone you would be happy with! Your probably making her miserable, and her answer to that is eating. You could also, do something together, like take nice walks. That's about the best exercise there is anyway. Get off her case!

she wont. its been 3 years now and she hasnt. dont count on it. i tried the same thing with an ex gf who had way too much celulitis in her butt. shes gorgeous and looks like a model but naked there was that celulitis!!! we tried biking but she didnt like sports nor working out!!! after she dumped me i found out how unimportant the butt celulitis was cuz i loved her. so the thing here is... either u find a sport shes crazy about, like boxing or tennis or whatever and she manages to lose some weight or u just have 2 solutions --u stay with her cuz u love her well or u just leave her cuz u want a nice body, which she isnt gonna have. just remember ur working out means nothing. u wanna work out? thats great. she doesnt? thats great with her too. so dont push her, try to find something shell like or just live with it cuz thats ur girl or simply dump her.

dude i know what its like not wanting to work out, i was
210 lbs and a size 36w, iwas embarrassed to work out AND I WORKED IN A HEALTH CLUB WITH A FREE MEMBERSHIP, heres what my friend did for me, he became MY work out partner, in 3 months i went dwn to 155
so heres what you do, become her work out buddy, try aerobics, cycling class, yoga, anything where there is a big group of females, she will meet new friends and soon look forward to meeting her friends at the gym, also encourageing words should be given, like your look great today, NEVER say "your cute but you'd be cute'r if you work out" it sounds like ur sayin "honey ur fat "
and since the weather is getting nice try long romantic walks

Let her go, dude. You want what she isn't and NEVER will be. Hopefully you haven't destroyed her self-esteem trying to make her into something she is not. Either accept her or move on.You can't have it both ways.
