Do dieting couples lose more weight?
WFTV in Orlando recently did a story about this. The premise is that couples provide support and accountability to each other. In the case of my wife and I, when we diet together we usually just cheat together, a sort of co-dependent thing. Doesn’t work for us. But, they provide some tips for dieting couples:
- Grocery shop together
- Re-think old recipes
- Don’t be afraid to eat other
- Don’t compete
- Make exercise fun
What is your experience? Except for Ellen, of course, with her beanpole husband…

Got something to say?
i find that when me and my wife are in it together we do really well.
Beanpole that’s a good name for him! I just have to say I think he is trying to sabbotage me, he is still bringing home a BIGGIE FROSTY everyday, usually with fries to dip it in! My god it sucks! He is getting ready to quit smoking again so that will help when he gains 5 lbs. He may be in the normal weight range instead of the underweight range. Frustrating to say the least.
