Is it normal for my wife to gain so much weight?

  • Id start subtly like maybe just order a new treadmill and ask if she likes it. Encourage her to try it. Then I'll tell her I got a new gym membership for her. Then if she still gains weight ill say look you're getting fat. I dont like this. You gotta lose weight.

    383lbs is bad she will die very young at that weight.

    • Most home treadmills will not handle someone over 300 Lb. You are talking commercial units designed for heavy people (most commercial units are not designed for that weight).

      A gym membership by itself is also unlikely to be of any benefit. Possibly combined with other things.

      She needs to get a proper medical evaluation. Something is wrong - and exercise alone will not solve it.

      • Yeah at that weight you're right. Thats how Ive pushed my wife to lose weight when she gained a few pounds in the past. Start out nice and if she doesnt get the message tell her bluntly.

        But 383 she gotta be eating a ton. She could prolly eat 2 cheeseburgers for every meal and still lose weight and that weight. She must be eating a ridiculous amount of calories to sustain that weight.

        • Or there is something really wrong with her body.

          I had a friend who gained a lot of weight and could not figure it out... then developed significant breathing issues which took him to the Dr.

          They removed something like a 35 lb tumor in his chest cavity that had squeezed his lungs to about 1/4 of their normal size.

          Very fortunately it was not cancerous.

          His weight dropped about 30 lb just from removing the tumor. He's been fine since (once his split rib cage and various muscles healed).

          There are very heavy people who actually are not eating a lot... but their body metabolism and other things are way out of wack.
