I stayed basically the same throughout the visa process, same with the husband. I have gained a bit since he's gotten here, so has he. I'm trying to lose what I've gained. Husband is happy with his weight gain. He's gone from a size 30/31 to a 33/34. I think he looks great! He was a bit too thin when he arrived.

Don't get me started on this topic. It could get ugly. I have never understood people that let themselves go after they get married. This pertains to men and women. "No need to look good any more, I'm off the market." Craziness! :wacko:

I don't think this is always the case. I, for one, didn't decide to let myself go. My weight gain (not an enormous amount, maybe 15 lbs) is mostly due to cooking more (and eating more) and not finding time for the gym. My husband was waiting on his EAD for 4 months so instead of hitting the gym after work I went home. Now that he's working in the evening I have time to get back to the gym.

I lost about 10-15lbs. during the process. I gained it back.

Andre gained after. Nothing during.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

I'm not the USC, which this poll seem aimed at, but I would vote YES on both gaining and losing since coming here. Twice actually. Pregnancies tend to make you do that.

Other than that I tend to be stuck at my normal weight no matter what, and I don't intend to change that =).

Hubby has gained 8 pounds since we got married, I wish I could say that it's because of my fabulous cooking, but I can't with a straight face... :unsure:

They say it's a sign of a happy marriage ;)

i haven't let myself go.. it just happened... we eat out a lot more down here then I ever did back in Canada..

and I am not a pig when I eat either.... food just likes to stick to me... but not when I am pregnant for some reason.. then I can't gain weight to save my life :P

I've lost since I've been here, probably because I'm eating healthier, and enjoying cooking healthy for two now instead of one.

Don't get you started?? Started on what? Being disrespectful? I'm a large lady, have been for years. This is how my husband fell in love with me. This is how I fell in love with him. Give me a break. How old are you? What a disturbing and disgusting statement you just made. What a shallow man.

Not necessarily. In Andre's case, part of it was he could not afford to eat some of the time. Eating 2 or 3 times a day makes a difference.
