Guys - GF Weight Loss

Matutu · 19 May 2015 at 14:35

Guys,

My otherhalf is trying to lose weight...... Its hell lol high tension and moaning.

Now the thing is she is size 8........ 8.8Stone so there in my opinion there is hardly anything to lose. However I am posting this as I am at breaking point with my sanity and her constant moaning its not working. She is already small and I dont want her to change at all but she has it in her head she wants to loose the small bit of "muffin" she has, so she only wants to drop around 4lbs.

She is eating actually healthy and around 1300cals per day, now exercise she struggles with as she never really finds the time and sometimes does 12 hours shifts.

She has been eating 1300kcals but her weight has not moved for 2 weeks apparently. She has been eating lots of protein etc etc and nice unprocessed foods.

Now I think she would be best trying to fit in more exercise and 4 sessions of 1hour per week, as I think she is already so small that her BMR must be low like around 1600kcals as she is only 5.5 tall.

So views guys, please save me from this nagging lol, up exercise or drop kcals or just stick with current and see if it happens eventually.

Save me before I start feeding her cookies in her sleep to perk up her mood!

Thanks.

Well she wants 1lb per week. I think that's more like 1200kcals and 4 gym sessions burning around 400cals a session?

Oh yer I know this is not the best way or anything mate. All too well!

But it's one of those where she will not listen to those around her and has to experience I think.

I have tried to drum it in some good compounds and eating right will do more good, but too her that scale number is everything. Nothing I say will change that until she experiences it I believe.

She is so set it's driving me mental that's why posting this I'm hoping she will see I am not trying just to stop her doing what she wants!

..... I wondered when pics were going to be requested lol.

I have tried drumming into her the values of lifting etc and she enjoys weights but not to the point where she would lift heavy etc and she cant dedicate the time to it 3-4times a week so gets abit pointless when its 1 session a week.
