[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could never stay married to an obese partner who did not want to look after themselves. My libido would plummet quickly. Sure, taking drugs or getting lipo are options, but does that really change someone’s lifestyle to stay active and in shape? I want to be with someone who is motivated by life, and being active is part of it. Don’t you want me to be able to move at 60 plus if we actually make it to that age?[/quote]

OP said that her husband is active and works out at a gym regularly.  
He’s gained 40lbs in 30 years.  It’s not like he is living his 600lb life.  [/quote]

Sure, but what does that workout entail? Are they actually doing hard lifting and cardio? We are no spring chickens anymore but we can at least do our best to stay in shape. [/quote]

+1  am also curious if he even breaks a sweat or gets his pulse up for longer than one minute. [/quote]

OP here.  The workouts he does now are strength ad cardio classes. He does 3 classes a week and likes the structure of a guided workout. Spin, strength, core, heavy weight, room. He's one of the biggest guys in the classes. He also plays tennis 2-3 times a month. I don't think exercise helps with weight loss. Can't outrun a bad diet. He's been consistently working out for 10 plus years.[/quote]

This sounds like my spouse who was skinny as a teen and young adult and who for decades would "treat himself" to a milkshake or whatever junk after any physical activity. Which means he'd easily consume twice whatever calories he just burned.

He's so smart in so many areas but has a blind spot for what I think is obvious nutrition-wise.[/quote]
