Today, after 3 months of my man claiming he's going to start eating better "next week", he finally went on a diet. What changed? I started eating healthy while trying for a baby. He is "supporting me" by getting me to do extra meal prep for him too. FML
Today, my husband told me that he thinks I am getting a little heavy and may need to lay off the junk food. The ultrasound is hanging on our fridge. FML
Today, it's my sixth month of working out 5 days a week, watching what I eat while my family eats like kings, and only losing 2lbs. It's also the day husband said he misses my 20 year-old body and no longer finds me attractive, but that's okay because he "loves me anyways and it's good to know where we stand." FML
Today, my boyfriend and I started our diet. After a long day of being held accountable for every calorie I ate, I went home to sneak a snack. My boyfriend came over to surprise me, and found me on the couch shoveling left-over Indian food into my mouth. FML
Today, I found out that my husband thinks I'm fat when I caught him slipping diet pills into my morning smoothie. FML
Today, I finished the first month of a diet and exercise program designed to help me lose weight. To keep myself motivated, I have avoided the scale the entire time. I weighed myself today. I've gained 6 pounds. FML
Today, I learned that my husband is attracted to obese, unhealthy women after celebrating my weight loss of 175lbs and improving my overall health. FML
Today, after I completely starved myself for a week and exercised every day in an attempt to lose weight, I instead gained 5 pounds. FML
Today, dieting is making me depressed and I'm so hungry. I don't even care about losing weight, but my boyfriend is and he's doing a low fat diet with me for my health, so I'm going to do the low calorie thing with him. I also feel like I'm not doing well enough in the gym and it's hurting so bad. FML
Today, I found out that my husband never actually took our new healthy lifestyle seriously when his coworker told me that now, instead of at the house, he keeps beer and cigars at his brother's house, and visits the Burger King drive through every day for lunch. FML

Men just lose it easier, it's ****** up, but for the most part true.

Some people have fast metabolisms, dont fret! Just do more cardio and maybe drink a protien shake in place of a meal if you want to gain muscle as well

All of these comments about metabolisms etc are likely wrong in this situation and its far mor likely that the weight you have gained is in muscle and because he already has it he is simply losing the fat surrounding it.

Don't fret! Weight seriously is just a number. I'm barely 5'4" and weigh close to 150lbs but still appear thin. It's all just muscle mass. Since you have been kickin' it and actually sticking to your diet, then you will gain muscle before you loose fat. Just make sure in your new diet you aren't starving yourself or skipping meals. Try even adding meals! Many small meals throught the day will help to increase your metabolism and replace the fat. If you are dieting to improve your body's appearence try doing many body weight or low weight reps to build lean muscle. Doing heavy weight will build bulky muscle, and if you are trying to thin up or just look toned, not ripped, lower weight and higher reps are the way to go. Keep it up! Take a picture, measurements, etc and in a month (and not before) look back and compare to see how far you've come. You will have had much change since then. Its a slower process so weighing yourself and measuring yourself frequently will only discourage you. Just keep at it, you CAN do it!

Sometimes it really depends on how you eat and not what you eat. Chew your food more and don't grab for more food until you've swallowed what's already in your mouth

Four days isn't long enough to see legit results. Don't worry.

It's only been four days. There's no way your weight changes are related to the diet/exercise. Normal fluctuations occur.

Make sure you're measuring at the same time of day each time for accurate readings.

Okay, if you want to lose weight, don't bring you boyfriend or husband into it. It is pointless and aggravating. Us guys don't have to do everything that you do!

Don't compare your results to his. Everyone loses weight at different rates. Depending on your workout regimen you could even lose fat and gain muscle which would cause you to weigh more, not less. Keep on it. The longer you go at it, the more you'll see positive results.

Fat weighs less than muscle. I started gaining weight when I first started working out and it freaked me out. It's muscle mass.
