Do you weigh the same or close to the same as when you got married?

Yes, but that's only because I purposefully gained weight to fit into my wedding dress. I was slim at the time and I wanted a certain dress from a certain shop that could only alter it down to a certain size. Oh well. |

| I am 47 and 5’4”. I was 120 and a size 4-6 when I married 25 years ago. I’m now 160 pounds. I’m in early menopause and it’s hell trying to stay in shape. I tried phenpro and it was miserable so I won’t go back . I tried a transformation diet and it was so restrictive it made me binge on everything I couldn’t have once I got down to 145. I’m now at 160 and a size 10. I don’t know what to try next. My goal would be to get to an 8 and be at 145, but I basically have to,give up EVERYTHING to get there. I hate thinking about my weight every, single, freaking day. |

| Was 128. 2 babies later and I’m finally at 129 and feeling good. My body is totally different though. |

| I am the same (stayed within 5 pounds of marriage weight, currently lower than day of), but he has gained 90 pounds. It’s caused issues for us. |

| Yep, 25 years and 2 kids in. Partially genetics, partially making exercise a priority. I'm most definitely not in the same shape though. |

Yes, two kids and admittedly only 10 years later. I lost about 20 pounds 4 years before we were married when I got more serious about running, and have continued to make exercise and healthy living a priority. But I am only 39... so yeah, talk to me after menopause. Still I admit to be (secretly, I would never discuss this in real life) rather proud of myself for still wearing the same size as my wedding dress.

| No where close. Pregnancy, hypothyroid, and cancer have all shot my expectations of being at a healthy weight. |

I should add that all the weight gain was in my mid-40s onward. I was in pre- and full-on menopause in mid-late 40s. Now that i am thru it at 57 the weight is easier to keep under control, but not necessarily to lose. |

| Gained 20 (!) pounds from wedding date 19 years ago, but have only gone up one size (size 4 to size 6). 5'5". Very very muscular, although flabby belly in my mid-40's. One child. Would love to drop a size, but am content enough where I am.... |

I weigh the almost the same at 120-122 lbs but the curves have shifted to the midsection. That 2 lbs shifts around in the midsection after having my son. I I want to trim it down, I would have to go low carb and maybe just run 2x a week for about 20 minutes (that's all i can do).
Other places have seen more aging, like grays that are kicking in almost overnight on top of my head. |

| Same weight, 3 kids. I think it's genetics in that I don't ever get too hungry. |
