Hey, guys. Long time lurker, first time poster. Me and my girlfriend have struggled with our weights for basically the entirety of our 6 year relationship. A few months ago, we decided to- once again- buckle down and start being healthy and trying to lose weight.
We track macros and stay in a caloric deficit, while working out consistently. I've lost 16 pounds and my girlfriend has lost nothing. It's incredibly discouraging for her and, in some weird way, makes me feel guilty for the success that I'm having. Honestly, she works out harder than I do and tracks EVERYTHING she eats. It really gets her down and I never know how to comfort her. I do notice that her face looks thinner, and overall, she seems healthier, but she wants to see that tangible weight loss that she should be having.
Now here's part two- I've never and would never share this with my girlfriend, because there's no way to say this without it sounding rude. My girlfriend falls into the "obese" category weight-wise, but doesn't look it AT ALL. Not even remotely. No one would ever even think she was "fat". The few people she's shared her weight with don't believe her that she weighs what she does. She literally looks about 40lbs thinner than what the scale says- How can that be? I've never heard of such a thing, and it just doesn't make sense to me.
Has anyone struggled with this? Is there anything she can try to nudge the scale? I just want my girlfriend to see results and be happy, like I am.
