My wife and I both gained too much weight during and after she was pregnant with our second child. It's now been 3 years and we are both the largest we've ever been (me 5'8 250lbs, her 5'4 170lbs). We decided to get serious about weight loss and agreed to buy a Peloton for the bike as well as the classes since we were staying home.
The problem is that I think I took this more serious than she did and now that I am losing weight at a consistent rate and she isn't she's obviously getting frustrated. Right now, I'm exercising 6 days a week and my meals away from her consist of meat and veggies with a little fruit afterwards. I'm a home cook and have adjusted our dinner meals to be mostly meat and vegetables with a starch a couple times a week. I haven't been counting calories personally simply because I haven't plateaued yet. She is exercising maybe once or twice a week, craves and indulges with sweets when we put the kids down, and I have no idea what she's been eating for lunches at work. She's also a snacker with a tendency to graze and eat snacks with our kids when they do (in-between meals).
She's upset she isn't losing weight and she's upset that I am. Also her sisters, who are her best friends, are both fit and she was as fit as they are before the children. At this point, the encouragement I have been giving her obviously isn't enough so I'm not sure how to help her further. I don't want to be a dick and she is absolutely her own person and I have no control over what she is going to eat but I feel like there is more I can do to help her along. Asking for advice or tips.
TLDR: I'm losing weight, my wife isn't. How can I help her with exercise and food without being an asshole?
