Beach Body / P90X uses very little equipment or space. There's really no excuse other than laziness.
Tell her to move the coffee table out of the way and get to it.

I see a lot of people grow up with very poor eating habits and once age starts catching up with them, here come to pounds. They can't wrap their head around why they are gaining when they seem to be eating the same white trash foods they've been eating their entire lives.

Hate to tell you but it sounds like you're just as lazy and unmotivated as her and only want her to make the change. Your reply was an excuse not to help her change.

how do you know when your girlfriend is getting fat?
She starts fitting in your wifes clothes.

My wife told me to get my arse back in the gym. I did. A person should be able to get back in shape if they have any self-respect for themselves.

So why didn't you say anything when she had gained 20lbs?
I mean, don't be cruel when saying it, but gently let her know the weight is an issue.

Legit question but remember, when you see someone every day, the subtle changes in weight may go unnoticed at first. 20 pounds is a lot on some people, but on taller people maybe not so much.
Either way, I'm sure there's a point where you notice. And then talking to them about it is a bit scary. You want to be supportive and not hurt their feelings, but you also need to be straight up with them.

I gave up. She gained a lot while pregnant. It was like an excuse to say f*** it then never lost it. It's not like the weight built up slowly over time. In the last 5 years or so since it's just compounded. The concept isn't there. Even tho I keep myself in decent shape I agreed to do a diet plan with her a couple of years ago. Only problem was I'd come home from work and she'd be drinking margaritas and eating chips and salsa with the neighbor.
Me - so you decided to skip the diet today?
Her - no, I was good all day, so I decided to reward myself!
Me - that's not how it works. It's a lifestyle change not just something to do for 8 hours then party
Her - you're being too controlling
There's no hope.

I didn't want to have to actually hear my husband say "I've noticed you've gained a couple pounds". So I went to him first and said I was well aware I've gained weight and reminded him of everything that contributed to it so he didn't think I just got lazy. Also told him I'm working on losing it and would appreciate his support and encouragement.

It's a mine field topic and will likely blow up in your face.
Get Fitbits and get in a group with each other. Compare steps each day. If she is cooking crap food, refuse to eat it.
Demand cutting the junk carbs and cheap oils from even being in the house. Hit up the produce stand twice a week.
Buy some bicycles and ride together. Go hiking or whatever. Plan a beach vacation together and challenge her to be bikini ready for it.

I didn't mean to be harsh on my other reply but I think it's time to let her know how you really feel because you've posted on this a good bit.

Ask her to start fixing low carb meals (meat & veg) because you want to lose weight/get healthier/whatever. It encourages the change without coming out & saying it. Exercise is good and all, but weight loss is almost entirely diet.
She knows she's fat. I can't even imagine doubling my weight from a thin 115. Is she on antidepressants or something? In what period of time did she gain that much weight?

Not at all. Typically work out 6 days a week.
Most of you are just a bunch of insecure mother frickers saying you'd divorce your wife and the mother of your children because she gained weight. Most of you just sound like pathetic insecure pieces of shite.

I only posted on it before in the 'lowest point of my life thread'.

Wow. You are pathetic.
Oh please husband, don't divorce me. I know I've gained weight but I promise I'll work hard to lose it. Please don't make fun of me.

Genetics supports my eating habits and keeps me from being fat. Maybe don't marry a chick with bad genetics

Really? You think that's pathetic?
I call it mature and self aware.
Sometimes the faux harshness of this site is just too fricking much.
And no, I'm not white knighting here, I really just don't see how your brain comes to that conclusion.
Posted on 3/16/17 at 10:27 am to Scanlon Shorthalt
Yes, I find it pathetic that a woman has to go grovel at her husband's feet to beg for acceptance because she gained weight.
That isn't harsh.
What's harsh is that a woman would feel so insecure in her marriage that she would feel the need to beg for her own husband's acceptance.
I don't see how you could possibly conceive that situation as "mature". She could step on the scale or look in the mirror and realize she gained weight and go to the gym. She doesn't need to go grovel at his feet for acceptance. That makes it pathetic.
