Help....

How can I tell my wife she needs to lose weight w/o getting myself thrown in the doghouse?

Mr. you are asking for it here.......Girls let the ass kicking begin lol.....j/k

OK....nevermind.

I'm joking and you know it lol....this is a topic that no matter you approach it....your gonna hurt her feelings some what....can you try to get to be more active with you instead of focusing on the weight loss.....

She is a stay at home mom...has the time to walk w/kids....her diet is pretty clean, but she eats ALOT of calories...and hardly exercises. I think she has a tough time with any "set" routine...she likes her "freedom" and she keeps herself WAY busy.

I work nights and sleep through the morning and into the early afternoon....when I wake up I usually bounce the kids around for a while, work on the computer a bit, then it's off to the gym,shower,work,repeat....

If were active as a family, it's rare and usually on the weekends....

Like most dudes, I've tried to motivate her a bit, but like you mentioned...ALWAYS turns out bad....

One thing that I've noticed with myself, is that SEX is way better when I'm in shape. We have really taken it to the next level this past year sex-wise and I was hoping to somehow encourage her in that manner...

You could suggest that she goes to the gym with you. Tell her it will be time away from the kids. Maybe if you were there to help her, she would stick with it.

She's really tight with the kids and hates to leave them with anybody...especially the youngest....not only that, but it's an extra $40 bucks a month...we've tried that route and she goes about once a month...maybe. I've taken her off on two different occasions simply because she "can't get into it"....

She's also afraid to touch the weights, because she doesn't want to get "bigger"...I've tried to explain thats not how it works, but she refuses to believe what I say....

Thanks for your replies...
