It seems like half the people in this post hasn't listened to Homeboy. He has accepted her. He's doing everything in his power to accept her and he's trying to be a faithful boyfriend even when temptation is knocking at his door.

I can say I'm experiencing the same thing and the way I was able to get my wife to the gym... was to...

**drumroll please**

Get one of my female friends at work to go with her. She's the same body type and everything only she made the commitment to lose the weight already. So I tell my wife "pam" is going through a rough time right now and needs a gym partner to talk to. My wife is nosey so of course she went... and they've been at it for three weeks. They talk about what they eat... drink... and they meet at the gym at the same time every couple of days... she's dropped about 8lbs so far. She's the type that loved to sleep in but she actually gets up at 4:30 in the morning to go work out... That's Huge!

Now if you're as popular as you say I'm betting you see people at the gym like your wife everyday... approach them and ask them how they get motivated and then ask if they would like a gym partner... tell her that your wife doesn't like working out alone.

When you tell your wife just say "Sally" from the gym needs a work out partner. Just use her first name and when your wife asks who she is... just say a lady you see at the gym ALL THE TIME. Your wife's curiousity will be piqued because she wants to see the competition (who really isn't competition).

From there I don't know what to say... The worst "Sally" will say is that you said your wife doesn't like to work out alone which is true. Hopefully it will work.

Some of the other advice has been good too... I also suggest taking long walks together to talk about "the future." because you sound like you want to marry this girl. The thought of wearing a wedding dress usually results in a 3 size decrease in a lot of women... though I just pulled that stat out of the air. after a few times start speeding up to a brisk walk.

Keep us updated man... good luck.
