any success stories out there?

 

[Leethal]

He is lucky he didn't get bum rushed...

 

[moff_quigley]

My little 98lb lady has been at me for a few years to lose some weight. I'll get around to it I guess. :biggrin:

edit: That chick really needs to lose some weight. 5'2" and 230lbs? Oof. Even I don't weigh that much.

 

[Da Peach]

no way I'm clicking that at work.

 

[Spero]

When it's a matter of health, courtesy should come second. My lady would understand that if I was to be concerned.

 

[jimmydean]

My wife tells me I'm fat all the time.

 

[Stray_cat]

Ah see! Thats the great thing about being with a vegitarian, this sorrta thing just doesn't have to happen.

you're not skinny b/c of your diet, you burn calories wiping for 15 minutes

130lbs and over need not apply. Yes, I'm a shallow bastard.

Or on account of all the fiber removing intestinal lining

5'2 and 230 is pretty much a bowling ball.
He should pick her up using "the shocker" technique and bowl her down the lane a few times to get the point across.

When you care about someone and their health is on the line, courtesy goes out the window.

I can't believe noone has said it:


Black guys love chunky white wimmenz. I can't believe he would want her to lose weight.

I don't have the weight problem with my wife, its the bike and board ability. She snowboards and bikes (XC and DH). But she's not very fast and gets frustrated that she can't keep up with everyone else. I'll spend a run or two with her or go on a mild XC ride, but she complains when I try and push her. She wants to be faster, but won't put in the time to get better.

That's just because she's a woman. Nothing can change that.

[Knuckleslammer]

It ain't just the homies that luvs the fat wimmenz. I'd hit that, no problem.

kind of where i'm at, but a little worse. she had a pretty scary crash a few years back, & hasn't psychologically bounced back. she won't do anything risky (no speed, no rocks, no air). i've been telling her she needs an equipment upgrade, & juliana's are a smokin' good deal these days, but it would go unappreciated.

thought this was gonna be a PIITB thread.

i read somewhere - maxim probably - this topic rarely comes up with couples. it happens more as a result of a pearl harbor incident.

"the talk" = "baby, you know I love you, and I think it's time to introduce another woman into this relationship."

 

[Stray_cat]

Hmm, your closer to the truth than you know...

Ha! I guess that makes my brother in law a woman too, he's even worse than my wife because he won't listen to advice and thinks its totally the bike's fault.

And my friend from work, girl, is getting faster every time she comes DH'ing. Not only that, but she rides after she crashes, unlike said relative. Kinda embarrassing to the b-in-law really.

130lbs and over need not apply. Yes, I'm a shallow bastard.

You should be flexible on that rule... if they're tall and a gymnast.

 

[Arkayne]

 

[skinny mike]

^^^ looks like boobs on a stick. women should have curves, just not ones from fat rolls.

I do have a BMI clause built into the legislation, yes.

Doesn't matter either way, fake boobs don't count for anything in my book.

and their chest can't be bigger than yours......

fine, be that way.

 

[$tinkle]

yes.
yes it does

 

[blue]

Hay now, I'm game for a solid C cup.

 

[G-Cracker]

I'd definitely have the talk if there were (and there are in that case) health issues involved. And it's annoying as hell to hear someone constantly complain about their weight and yet do NOTHING about it.

 

[stevew]

Hay now, I'm game for a solid C cup.

repeat after me..."there is nothing wrong with D's....there is nothing wrong with D's".....

 

[stevew]

the youngster speaks the truth.

 

[dante]

being supportive and approaching it from a "we should..." standpoint (we should eat better, we should exercise more, we should go hiking/riding/ice skating/whatever and call it a date, you get the idea) works much better than stating "holy crap you're fat, you should do something about that" as you're busy shoving french fries in your mouth.

 

[Nick]

this thread is progressing nicely ....
