My (31f) fiancé (34m) has been wanting to lose weight for the past year. It’s gotten to the point that he refuses to attend social events because he’s uncomfortable with his weight, and we have a few vacations planned where he mentions that he is “too fat” to be there. For reference, we met 3 years ago and he was 190 lbs at 6 feet. Now he’s about 260 lbs and overweight. We are in our 30s now and have more responsibilities and high stress jobs, but he wants to lose weight and I want to help him for his confidence more than anything. His parents are both 300+ lbs and when he complains about his weight, his parents will say “you don’t want to be anorexic” or “men need to be over 220 lbs or they look sick”, so obviously not encouraging his weight loss
We bought a treadmill that he only used about 10 times in a year, so recently bought a workout bike that he has never been on. We have weights and a cable machine that he uses once every couple months. I workout 3-4x a week and he’ll say “I’m going to workout too” and just never does. I’m concerned about his health as his parents are both diabetics with multiple joint replacements and are unable to go for walks. My fiance has even expressed that he doesn’t want to get to the point where he loses his mobility What has helped others in this situation?
Edit: Not sure why the downvotes. I love this man and want to help him, he also wants the help
