[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the record: 
-- the gain I'm talking about increased her weight by 20-25% from her old normal
-- this is not baby weight. The last baby was 9 yars ago. The weight gaining has been only in the past couple years
-- I keep myself trim [/quote]
1. It's a lot harder for women to lose weight compared to men. We don't have as much muscle (which burns fat), and the hormones, yes, even after 9 yrs after kids, makes it harder to lose the weight
2. What do you do so that she has time to go work out? Do you take over childcare, housechores, cooking, cleaning, so she can take some time for herself? You know that stress makes one gain weight, right?

I'm a size 2/4, and DH does most of the cooking and grocery shopping. I wash up afterwards. I do most of the laundry, but he helps a lot.  We have a house cleaner.  My kids are now in HS/college.

All of this enables me to workout almost every night.  I was able to lose 15 lbs.

When my kids were younger, I had no time to workout.  Unsurprisingly, I was 15lbs overweight.[/quote]
