All within 10-15 pounds either way. The first few years was due to some thyroid issues, my latest 10 pound gain has been due to lack of exercise and overeating. This is probably the most I've weighed in our entire dating/marriage history and I'm working to get the 10 pounds off before we're pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-22885 Mon, 28 Nov 2011 11:34:04 +0000 MaisyMay 22885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs has gained about 10 pounds since we starting dating nearly 3 1/2 years ago. He was very slim at the time and still isn't chubby or anything, still slender. He's also 6'4" so I feel like he could gain quite a bit more and be fine. I've stayed about the same, lost some here, gained some back...etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21997 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 22:10:40 +0000 eeh 21997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't really gained any due to a change in habits since being married but I can definitely tell my once phenomenal metabolism is slowing down. It doesn't help that I eat like crap most of the time. </p> <p>My husband has definitely gained weight. He has an extremely odd work schedule and can't eat 3 balanced meals a day. Sometimes he won't get to eat for 12 hours so he always eats a big meal before work, even if it's 3:00am. When he is at work the only food he gets is if they happen to have to stop the train somewhere with a fast food place within reasonable walking distance so he eats junk. There's not really a good way to pack a lunch to take on the train with him since he has to walk several miles sometimes carrying a lot of gear with him.</p> <p>He also says I'm making him fat because I love, love, love to bake and always have baked goods around the house. I've gotten better about reminding him to take them to work to share so we don't eat them all ourselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21748 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 20:42:49 +0000 MsMini 21748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both gained as well, me more than him. We are working on it though, we got a couples gyn membership and are trying to make it a few times a week, as well we have cut out white carbs, and are working on eating healthier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21744 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 20:26:44 +0000 heffalump 21744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've both gained :(</p> <p>we were actually both too thin before and needed to gain but we've gone too far. I was too thin from migraine meds and gained after getting off of them, getting pregnant, miscarrying, and getting pregnant again before I lost any of that weight.</p> <p>He was too thin because he has crohns. He had surgery so he's feeling much better, he can digest his food better, and he can eat a lot more foods than he used to. I don't blame him for going a little crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21695 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 15:42:41 +0000 MrsFarmer 21695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since getting married six months ago, I have gained about 5 pounds and DH has gained about the same (maybe a little more). We better not keep this up or we'll both be 10 pounds heavier by our 1st anniversary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21671 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 11:25:18 +0000 AmeliaBedelia 21671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we both have. We were just talking about this the other day. A lot of mine is hormone related and his is....bacon related? Lol. The man LOVES bacon. Not that none of mine is food-related, ha. Granted we were only 18 and 20 when we met. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21661 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 10:12:39 +0000 .twist. 21661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since we met, I've gained a few lbs and DH has gotten more fit.

I gained 30 lbs and the hubs over 100. (a good 40 during my first pregnancy) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21612 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 04:50:39 +0000 loveablebee 21612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we both have unfortunately </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21606 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 01:57:01 +0000 MH.Abroad 21606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I've lost 20 pounds since our wedding five months ago, he's stayed the same. Yay for lack of food variety and transportation in this third world country! Lol, does that sound terrible? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21598 Thu, 24 Nov 2011 00:39:03 +0000 looch 21598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I did. I gained almost 20 pounds, which is a lot for me. I am trying to lose about 15, but have stalled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21556 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 23:42:44 +0000 lemondrop 21556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we both did gain after we settled down. </p> <p>His solution: work out very hard every day, eat salads and healthy food. </p> <p>My solution: morning sickness. If only I knew how easy losing weight would be when you don't have an appetite! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21445 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 19:12:21 +0000 mynoahbear 21445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we both have. Husband gained, lost, and gained. I just gained, mostly from pregnancy. But both our weight gains are so significant, just a few pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21288 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:53:26 +0000 HabesBabe 21288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh, definitely. Probably like, 20-30 lbs since we met, 10 lbs since we got married.</p> <p>HOWEVER, we met when we were in high school, at the peak of our physical fitness/metabolism (I mean, I will never weigh what I did when I was 15 ever again). So I don't think of the "meeting" weights as much as I do about our wedding weights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21240 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:19:56 +0000 Mrs. D 21240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since starting my new job, I've officially LOST 3-4 lbs as of my last OB appointment. Considering I'm now six months pregnant, that's a lot of weight!<br /> DH works really long hard days, he gained some a few years ago when he took a great from this job to move with me, but now that he's back to it, he has lost it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21237 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:16:18 +0000 Andrea 21237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SO has but I weigh less than when we first met. I weigh more than when we got married, though. I did some crazy crash dieting for the wedding so that was not a realistic weight anyway. I find it increasingly hard to lose weight...I think I am just getting old. I work out regularly and have tried to diet but the numbers aren't budging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21235 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 14:12:59 +0000 twodoghouse 21235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I went through a very bad bout of depression the fall after we got married and dropped a lot of weight. Once I got my medication figured out, I gained it all back and then continued to gain. We've been married 3.5 years and I'm about 15-20 pounds heavier than I was when we got married. My weight gain has evened out in the last 6-8 months, at least (coinciding actually with going off my psych meds) and recently I've lost almost 10 pounds. And throughout this, my husband has not gained a darn pound! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21208 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:46:33 +0000 winniebee 21208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both have!</p> <p>When we met my husband was a college soccer player in fantastic shape. Now he's a resident and has a terrible sleep and workout schedule. He probably has gone up 20 pounds...</p> <p>I gained about 7 pounds after our wedding. Then I got pregnant and so far have gained 3 more. Not going to worry about it until after baby is born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21198 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:40:53 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 21198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gained about five pounds since the wedding. I'm short and petite so I went up a pant size because of it. I don't mind though, I still think I look fine. Since we are TTC I'm not worrying about getting my stomach back flat. I'll work on that once I have a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21192 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:37:58 +0000 cyndistar3 21192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both have gained weight since we met, the difference id he has gained more muscles and well... I have not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21186 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:34:07 +0000 tequiero21 21186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i haven't gained any, really, except for pregnancy weight. but my husband gained a significant amount of weight. he blames me. i blame him lol. i need to start cooking more often and healthier. he and i just don't have the same metabolism. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21142 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:07:13 +0000 Rubies 21142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the first 3 months of marriage, I gained 10lbs. But I lost it in the next 5 months...Then I got pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21139 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:06:28 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 21139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have. :( I blame it on a lot of things... stress... medical conditions... post-pregnancy. But I just need to make time to work out. I have no excuse since there is a gym in my office. Also, the irrational part of me says why bother working out if I plan on getting pregnant again in the next few years. Might as well wait to lose it all at once. Ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21137 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:06:12 +0000 Rosie Girl 21137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! Well, mostly just me :) DH has gained some, but I have gained more. I don't know if it was just the whole getting married thing, or the fertility treatments (they were brutal on my weight!). I started to loose some (about 8 lbs of it, still had some to go though!) before I ended up pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-or-your-so-gained-weight-since-meeting-andor-getting-married#post-21132 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:03:56 +0000 mrbee 21132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have and am working to get back to my wedding weight.</p> <p>I haven't been able to work out in recent years. I would blame the two kids, but it's not like I was working out much when I didn't have kids. I never found a way to incorporate working out into my daily life.</p> <p>So I am going to get a treadmill desk:<br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treadmill_Desk" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treadmill_Desk</a></p> <p>Basically you stand up while you work, and if you turn your treadmill on then you burn 100-150 calories an hour. We'll see if that helps... I do a lot of walking every day for my commute, but that hasn't seemed to make a dent.</p> <p>Have you or your SO gained weight since meeting and/or getting married? Have you found ways to manage the weight gain? </p>
