How can I convince him to lose weight...?

Question

My husband and I have gained a decent amount of weight throughout the years. We both weren't the skinniest, not that we are crazy big as it is right now. He's around 280lbs and I'm 160lbs 
He has said before that he'd be down to work out together, but I don't know how to approach it without making him feel bad? I love how he looks right now, but I want us both to be as healthy as possible for our son. And I want us to set good examples for him as well.
So, how do I go about making him motivated for us to do it together?

Answer

'hey, I want to join a fitness class at the gym, would you like to join me? I think it'd be super fun having you there, and I also think it'd help towards motivating me to actually keep up with it'

Answer

Say it’s not a diet it’s a lifestyle change 😊 also both download MyFitnessPal it works amazingly well. Try have fun try making dinner lunches snacks together make fun dishes also try get the 10000-15000 steps in even if two or ye went out for a walk together and chose each other music playlist have fun with the exercise 💖

Answer

Ask to go for more family walks in the evening or something like that. Make it a daily family thing so it doesnt seem like work and you can just do simple swops with meals to make them lower calorie. Just change your routine a little bit and you wont have to convince him to do anything

Answer

Tell him what you said in this post.

Answer

I have this same struggle. Honestly? When I started working out consistently and didnt pressure him and he saw me working out, it motivated him. I would ask him to go on walks with me and eventually he started hitting the bag without me saying anything. So lead by example and he will follow :-)

Answer

Just simply tell him that you want to be more in shape so you can have more energy for your son.  Plus longer run lossing just a little bit of weight lower risk of health complications.  Good luck.  Im trying to do this as well for myself.

Answer

You could sign up for a fun 5k run and ask if he wants to train with you. Those are always pretty good.
