re: How long should a husband allow his wife to lose her "baby weight" before he handcuffs her

If she hasn’t gotten down to pre baby weight within a year, then she has no excuses.
This isn’t true for everyone. I didn’t start to lose any of my pregnancy weight until I stopped breastfeeding at a year. Once I stopped, it gradually fell off over the next year. It took me 2 years every time to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight.
Genetics play a big role, and the truth is that some people (men and women) put on extra weight in their 30s. The weight might not have anything to do with the pregnancy.

Really? Do men do this?
Sure do/ did. My wife even turned out better. Look back at women who went from hot in their teens/twenties and turned to pigs after dropping calf. If the husband had checked out their mother, he would have somewhat of a preview as to what was to come.

Why don't you lead by example. Don't expect your wife to be in excellent shape if your not one excellent shape yourself.

I forgot there was the "unless your wife gets fat" in the vows for absolute douchebags.

But many don't have to so why excuse it for those that chose poor self care?

This thread is chock full of dudes married to fast trying to deflect on to the youngin who posted a legitimate question.
Yes, women can't just magically flip a switch and get back to pre-pregnancy weight.
Stop.making excuses for them being fat lazy slobs several years after the fact. No excuse for it. And frick this nonsense about "know how I know you're not married." If you're fat with a beer gut she'll be the first to tell you tonight off your arse and get back in shape. And if you're ho rest with her about it she might get mad at you, but she'll know you're right. And she'll either get on board, or she won't. And if she won't what is the point of continuing on with a fat slob?

Thank you, I'm glad somebody gets it.
People ignore that I posted in the OP that "I also see women who have a kid and within a few months have returned to their pre-baby supermodel body."
I also stated in a later post that "A year I can understand. But an excuse to be a cow for the remainder of their lives, no".
A lot of angry obese people, or guys with obese wives, on this board.

If you’re having this issue, I’d recommend maybe actually talking and communicating with your wife; like telling her you’re concerned for her health.
That’s good advice, but let me add something. It’s okay to say you’re concerned that you don’t find her attractive anymore. We generally mate with women because of sex. If not for sex I would not have married. I expect my wife to stay reasonably attractive throughout our marriage, and if she ever prioritizes eating over our marriage I’ll end the latter. I made this clear before we married. She could be disfigured and crippled in an accident and I would not falter, but if she voluntarily eats herself into oblivion I would leave.
And what I mean by “reasonable” is to stay in fairly good shape and maintain hygiene. She is aging in the natural course of things. As she does so, she will become less attractive in an absolute sense. But her attractiveness to me, based on her character, has not diminished a bit. I expect to find her as attractive at 80 as I do now at 59.

This is stupid and demonstrably false. Lots of women with fat moms stay in great shape throughout life - my wife for example. And my wife had one sister who also was slender when her two kids were 18 and 20.

gym may not be an option...busy
Nice gyms have childcare.
No excuse to not get to gym 3-4 times a week.
And with all the fitness apps etc can exercise at home too.
Get a nice gym membership (lifetime, YMCA etc) and get a jogging stroller.
Zero excuses.
I don't care how busy your day is.
You always can do a 30 minute jog or calisthenics in front of TV.

I was out clubbing and a girl I was interested in asked me to walk with her to get something from her car. When we get to her car, she gets her brand new Louis Vuitton purse out (not a fake) and proceeds to projectile vomit into it. I swear she vomited for a full 5 minutes. I asked if she needed anything and if she was ok, then excused myself and hauled arse out of there. Saw her years later, she was still hot but that image was seared into my brain.
Apparently I posted in the wrong thread.

A) no one in this thread should say a word unless they are in shape themselves. Your wife will notice your efforts and it will pay off on multiple fronts.
B) a one year grace period is fair after that it’s not a baby issue
C) they have to have time to take care of themselves. I would suggest offering to watch the little one or help make arrangements for coverage
D) most weight loss isn’t actually tied to work out habits, it’s diet. What gets blamed on junior is often the result of poor diet running head first into the metabolic cliff many people deal with at some point accelerated by a lack of sleep and stress. Clean up the food/600 cal coffee/sugar drink habit and you will see positive outcomes very quickly and avoid lots of other health issues as you age. I’d position it as something that’s important to you due to ___ and ask for her help to make the changes together.

My wife read an article that said breastfeeding burns 400 calories a day on average. That's a good workout. the weight will come off quickly.
Edit to add: she was back to her pre pregnancy weight by 2 months with all 3 of ours.

Correct. Breastfeeding drops the weight fast - does NOT make it more difficult to slim down!
Posted on 1/17/22 at 8:53 am to rocky mountain way
Just don't get pregnant in the first place and this will solve all your problems. You're welcome for saving you half your life savings in advance

1-2 year imo. you should be wanting them to breasfeed if they are theyre gonna be taking in more calories. after that though you have to make it subtle though like grabbing the love handles.
