My 21 Y/O Fiancee's Metabolism is Absolutely Horrible and I Don't Know What to Do

Damn good point. I’m gonna hold off on appreciating her till I find out what she really looks like.

Yeah. Aside from the public/permission stuff, I’ve seen some analogies made sometimes that just aren’t analogous.

Hell, there was a guy on here once that claimed to be built just like Flip, only a little bigger.

Then he goes putting up a stock photo from a Walmart catalog… :joy:

skyzyk that is her now

I don’t understand why you guys all think this is all me. She constantly tells me she wants to lose weight. She’s talked about a tummy tuck 4 or 5 times. She’s sent me pics of fitness models she wants to look like

I think what has happened is she is overeating on cheat days without realizing it. She loves food and loves to eat and is eating 3500-4000 calories without realizing it

soul fighter she is 21 years old…she looks good now. Imagine plus 40 lbs from pregnancy

She really needs to lose 20-30 lbs now so she’s ready for pregnancy. She knows this, she’s talked about this multiple times

Damn, I’ll be honest, I debated sharing this on this thread especially, but I see where you’re coming from because that was something I considered with my ex-wife (keyword).

My ex-wife had eating disorders and body image issues that drove her crazy to conjure up imaginations of me cheating on her. We were also bi-coastal long distance so that made it worse. I’d get calls early in the AM asking me if I cheated on her with a girl at my gym (my gym is mostly young Asian women) before I even got ready for work because she had a dream about it. She’d talk about how badly she wanted to lose weight, but I couldn’t even get her to step on a scale to start calculating where she should start her macros at, and despite not tracking her weight, she’d claim she’s gaining weight from the mirror and “nothings working”. She insisted that 1200 calories is what she ate, and that’s what worked for her in the past, But when I’d visit, she’d eat whatever I eat and I’ve been on that bulk mode till recently.

We ended things for other reasons, but if everything else is good in your relationship, dont fuck it up. If you’re so worried about her gaining weight from pregnancy, don’t get her pregnant.

This girl doesn’t need a tummy tuck. That money’s probably better spent on a trainer. I dated a girl when I was younger who wanted to get butt implants but refused to squat with any weights.

If it’s so important for both of you, why not simply hire a GOOD coach? And it’s WAYYYYYY cheaper than a tummy tuck. Nothing against you, but from the numbers and some elements that you posted since the beginning of this post, i have some doubt on your knowledge. Hell, i wouldn’t help my own GF more than the basics as i’m not a female, but a male. Not the same animal :wink:

Young, Asian, Female powerlifters? I’ll finally fit in! Who knows, the equipment might even be small enough for me to use :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Haha we mostly use adjustable combo racks

I just looked at some pics and I guess it’s not mostly female, but there are alot of women and most of them are Asian. Most of the male members are Asian.

Dude, hire a coach. There is no other valid way to do this. Separate workouts from relationship

Even better! I feel more comfortable around Asians and it would be easier to ask for form checks or a spot
The guys at my gym in Shanghai are creeps and half of them don’t squat or deadlift :joy:

For sure I couldn’t get back with a girl that does not practice a fitness activity, whatever it is. I too, have lived the “you work out too much”, “you’re already beautiful to me you work out for the other girls” “I’m sure you drool over the girls at your gym” “why won’t you eat cake today?” bla bla bla and especially if I become a coach

Yeah ahah, yeah we all spot everyone. No creeps up in here. Depending on what field you’re in, good job opportunities in the Portland metro area when you graduate.

Yeah, and I’ve met great women before who were educated with good careers, but just not cut from the same cloth as me when it comes to fitness expecations. I’m no Mr Olympia myself or Mr 2K Total, but some physical endeavor is nice.

I’m actually losing weight this quarantine to break up the monotony of the training (what’s the point in being heavier if I can’t even push big weight?), but also get some visible abs so casual gym girls take notice.

Well… I did convince my parents to choose our current apartment in shanghai in part because it was close to a gym and Portland is technically closer to China, so… not a bad possibility
Any demand for behavioural economists?
