My wife works out all the time. The doctor says that I should, but I just can't bring myself to do it. It's not my thing. My wife does it for all the right reasons. To stay in shape, to lose weight/maintain weight, and because it makes her feel good. Even when she considers herself "overweight", she is still in remarkable shape. Very flexible too. I sever my hamstrings picking up sticks in the backyard. So there ya go. My wife and I have both done Weight Watchers and with great success. We've both tried other diets, but they were practical for our lifestyle. With WW, you just eat what you eat, but points are assigned to foods. And depending on how much you're overweight, you get so many points a day. So what happens is you end up eating healthy foods, eating much smaller portions, and eating more often. This speeds your metabolism up and burns fat. So, it seems like you're always eating.. which you are! Just healthy foods in smaller portions, and all the time. I don't need to lose any weight right now as I weigh about 205. When Jack was born, I weighed almost 240 which is NOT normal for me! That was three years ago. I tweaked my diet a bit, and lost a bunch of weight. I mainly cut out fatty lunches, and then started taking amphetimines. That really helped. 205 is a maintainable weight for me. My wife has recently lost about 18lbs, but she's also toning her muscles. So where she hasn't lost as many pounds as she'd like, the toning makes her look like she's lost about 30lbs. So she is looking REALLY good. Her fave exercise videos are from the Tae Bo series. MY favorite thing to do is watch her do Tae Bo. "Yeah, pump it, pump it! Faster! Come now! Do it! Push! Feel the burn baby! Deeper!" Not unlike the first John Holmes video I ever saw. So, as my arteries continue to clog, and my bones turn to dust, I'll continue to get my kicks watching her do her exercises. Like the high school janitor that likes to hang out at the mall on weekends. There is indeed something not right with me. I suggest you men out there encourage your wife to exercise. It will do wonders for your sex drive.
