    Nope, my DH is almost 6'2", 180 lbs. He'd like to lose about 20 (naturally very slim), but only if he can manage to lose without giving up beer and pizza! He does, however, have blood pressure and cho

Yep!! I’m looking forward to being able to go with him in his bass boat again. My lack of balance as I’ve gotten heavy scares me trying to get in and out

mother and sisters have put on weight, lose well and keep the weight off for long periods. None of the males in my family have been overweight.

@Hop_Scotch

hey there Aussie - nice to hear from another country (do you have Outback ?)☺️

never fair about those males who have never been overweight.

Ex-boyfriends? hmmm - they don't count - that's why there called Ex?

My boyfriend is 6'2" and weights 180lbs. He eats only when he is hungry and does eat fast food. He works for FedEx so he is quite active. My boys are 21, and 23, daughter 9 and they are all skinny. I've always been health conscious but often fell off the wagon. My heavest is 260lbs and lowest 145lb

must be hard dealing with so "little" of your family - don't worry i know you'll catchup (or mustard)☺️

good luck

Ex H and children are marvels of physical forms. Funny my daughters have some of my physical structural features. But when I was overweight i never saw them.

New BF is fine - *maybe, maybe* slightly a little heavy for his frame but he thinks its more of a problem more than i do or a doctor would but idk. I support his efforts to lose or whatever the plan. So he likes to eat like me ? such a burden lifted

Funny to ponder on these things now.

Thank you Proudgrammy. I also meant to say that by boyfriend does not eat fast food.

I'm stronger then tagalongs ...it's all good

The last time I saw my cousin, who lives out of town, who I hadn't seen in 10 years, the first words out of her mouth were, "So I see you finally got fat like the rest of us." It really hurt my feelings! My brother is obese and my mother was obese and my cousin who said the hurtful thing is obese, so yeah, it runs in my family but I'm working hard at overcoming the issues and breaking the cycle.
