[quote=Anonymous]OP, first congrats on your achievement. At the gym I go to I often see quite overweight people who are trying to work-out and I am often tempted to say something supportive to them but refrain from doing so in case it comes across as patronizing.

With regard to your specific question, I think it varies with the guy and those who do place emphasis on being with a woman who becomes fat is not necessarily a reflection on them. People just have different expectations. And you will never know for sure until you are in the position of having to confront it. I have a friend who told his wife that if she put on a lot of weight for non-medical reasons it would affect their relationship for sure. So she is diligent about working out - as is he and although they are in their fifties they have the same bodies they had when they were in their thirties.

Your challenge is just to make sure that you don't regain the weight - which is a distinct possibility given what happens to most people. I would suggest that you follow a rule after you get to your target weight that if you ever gain five pounds over your target weight you immediately take steps to bring it down back to target. It is not difficult to lose five pounds ........ it is a real struggle to lose twenty pounds especially as you get older and you have had children. So it is better to nip it in the bud when weight gain starts rather than wait until it gets to be a real challenge.[/quote]
