Idiot.

^^ Agreed.

are you really that shallow?

While nobody is arguing here that aesthetics don't play and a role in actually physically attracting you to someone in the first place, when you love someone the entire way you see them changes. Good looks are ALWAYS temporary, while real love is not. ANND I digress...OP deserves it if she asked for his help, IMO, although I'd help explain the concept of tact to the fiancé. And don't give up!

You're probably right. Weight alone isn't a very good reason to dump someone. Let's hope that OP's fiancé agrees.

Yes, it is. Being fat sets you up for failure in life including lost job opportunities, lost social opportunities, high risk of having fat kids, major preventable health issues and being gross in general.

Who says her weight is increasing? Maybe she's been overweight her whole life. And coming from an overweight chick with a fiancé, he was attracted to me at 200lbs and is attracted to me at 180 where I am now. He wouldn't be attracted to me at 250+ but there's no reason to get that big so I don't had to worry about it. If they got together and she was overweight (which is just shy of a definitely) he was attracted to her overweight. As long as she doesn't gain he should still be attracted to her.

Because everyone who doesn't do 3 hours exercise every single day is disgusting and fat? -_-

I thought going to the gym everyday did you no favours, aren't you supposed to take a day off in between to let the body recover then the muscles work better next time?

I think that's typically regarding toning and muscle building, as the muscles break down during a workout and need the time off to repair themselves and "get big" lol. I believe, depending on personal situation, 30-60 min a day of exercising at an elevated heart rate (cardio) is generally a good rule of thumb for weight maintenance and heart health

ah ok I wasn't sure, I know that 30 mins a day of physical activity is reccomended jsut wans't sure about the hours in the gym.

Yeh, as far as I was aware the UK (Yeh, I know not USA -_-) health guidelines states 1 hour exercise per day, or 30 mins for people with standing/quite active jobs.

You do realize that any doctor, personal trainer, dietician, etc. will tell you not to do 2-3 hours at a time. Perhaps if you break it into 2-3 workouts throughout the day, but not all at once. If you do it all at once, you'll deplete your glycogen stores and will break down muscle. Your body can't burn just pure fat. It needs glycogen to burn as well and if you run out, it turns to your muscles. So you would have to take a break in the middle to eat. Not to mention, cardio alone is just inefficient. 30 minutes of cardio with 30-45 minutes of weights is 1000x better than an hour of cardio.

It depends on what you are trying to do with your body, cardio is better for keeping fit but you need to do a mixture to lose weight. I've never heard any doctor reccomend 2-3 hours of excersize unless you are training for something but maybe I've never been to the doctors for the right thing to be given that advice.

brilliant, if you eat and get fatter he will want to have more sex to burn off calories NOT likely.

lol, I totally didn't need to use caps lock. >.< I sound aggressive. Sorry. I meant I wouldn't ever eat out at an Americans Mc-donalds (those kinds of restaurants) and stuff on a regular basis.. not that I'm getting on my high horse and saying i've never been to one. I still stand by the fact I've still never seen American snacks that didn't make me feel queezy. >.

You're right; I'm from America, and I can definitely say that most of us are ignorant to what is in our food. It's very difficult to find places that have organic/all natural stuff. Society has taught us that we need to eat things like McDonald's and other nasty things. Blugh!

I remember from my trip in the US that my host family (the nicest persons in the world) had a gigantic problem with vegetables... They told me american food is the most unhealthy and I agree with them: it would be so much better if the kids there learnt to appreciate healthy food and not switch from pizza at lunch to burgers/cheesy pastas at dinner Everyday !

McDonalds tastes awesome :P but it's one of those once a month kind of "treats". As for veggies, straight up veggies are nasty. They need some sort of sauce which usually isn't terribly healthy. But if you don't eat a lot of it it's fine. Cooked carrots with butter and brown sugar are freaking amazing. Cooked carrots without it are meh. Mushrooms must be cooked with butter or they're gross. Pretty much all green veggies are nasty without cheese. People just have different tastes so you have to adjust it to where you don't live off of McDonalds, but don't throw up from the taste of plain veggies.

Ranch dressing makes all vegetables better. I love fresh mushrooms dipped in ranch, make that light ranch for people on diets. I am by no means a little person, but at 6'2 and 250 lbs I'm happy with my size, no beer gut or double chins for me.

Yup I went to the American burger chain Red Robin and everything they had was HUGE! they didn't have any small burgers! I felt outta place cuz I got a vegetarian rice bowl and my mom, dad and boyfriend got burgers.

What on earth is wrong with the taste of plain veggies? Your taste buds are probably so damaged from all the chemicals. Maybe lay off the msg for a while.
