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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's been six months since I got married and my wife has since gained over forty pounds of unhealthy weight. She's not depressed, she's very happy with the marriage, she's just "comfortable" now. We are in our early thirties, and we started off as workout partners. I've been going to the gym alone. FML
Today, my husband said he thinks of me as more of a roommate than a romantic interest, and he’s wouldn't be that attracted to me unless I lose another 20 pounds. I was just celebrating that I’d lost 5 pounds already in April. Stress makes it harder to lose weight. FML
Today, after losing twenty pounds to please my husband, the only comment I received was, "At least now only your personality sucks." FML
Today, I officially completed my weight loss journey, only for my wife, who'd previously threatened to divorce me if I didn't lose weight, to tell me that she realized she liked me better when I was fat and that "you don't know what you have until it's gone." 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, is the fourth day of my husband's and my new diet and exercise routine. I've already caught him eating junk food 4 times. He has lost 2 lbs and I've gained 3. FML
Today, feeling confident, I asked my boyfriend what he thought of my new body, since I had lost 16 kilos over the past month. He told me that he missed the old me and wanted me to gain weight again. My boyfriend was the one that encouraged me to lose weight in the first place. FML
Today, my boyfriend suggested I try on some old clothes, after weeks of eating better and exercising. The good news: they fit again, and are even a little bit loose. The bad news: somehow, I look fatter now than I did before I started trying to lose weight. FML
Today, my boyfriend encouragingly told me that he could tell I was losing weight, all because I had one roll fewer than usual on my stomach. 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

if you're working out hard, you actually might not be eating enough. it's possible you could actually lose weight if you increase your food a little, especially if you increase your protein

I was just about to say this. Also depends on how you’re working out muscle is heavier then fat. Dont do cheat days. Everyone’s body is different you need to find out how your body works best, the fad diets work but not for everyone. Don’t give up. It doesn’t happen over night a year from now you’ll look back and be happy you didn’t let this bring you down

You can lose a lot of weight fast by divorcing your husband. Meanwhile, consult a nutritionist and keep trying.

That doesn't seem possible. Sounds like you should talk with a trainer/nutritionist. Conservatively 6 months is long enough to safely lose about 24 pounds. I suspect you must be sabotaging your good efforts somehow. Though if your goal is to get back to a size 00 probably not going to happen.

Have you spoken to a dietician? They may be able to give you some advice on what sorts of foods you should be eating. Also, have you had your thyroid checked? An under active thyroid can make it difficult to lose weight.
