Girlfriend wants to cut up:)

I think it is a great idea that you want to help your girlfriend out man. Having weight issues can be very stressful on a relationship, especially if the person thinks their significant other finds them repulsive. I really know nothing about gear, but from a lot of reading on hear it seems the dedication is first, then the diet, then go from there. I wish you the best of luck man and make sure to support her in everyway that you can. Make it a team effort and you both will find it much more enjoyable and could also lead to that "Spark" you mentioned above!

great call. OP thanks for clarifying your situation. It sounds like your girlfriend is certainly interested- Why not share her diet / training program with us? Maybe we could tailor something that would work for both of you- You could go together and do it as a team.

A good place to start is cutting excess calories- do either of you drink ? Cut the drinking out completely and you will both see a difference.

We're going to the YMCA this weekend to get her signed up. So that's first step! There is no training program first. Just get her in there is what I/she needs to do. I'm trying to find foods she'll eat and not make her want to go elsewhere. It stems from childhood. Her whole family thinks that twinkies and ding dongs are miracle foods and crap. I tried a twinkie the other day, couldn't even eat it! They change the recipe?
Things i find completely deliscious she doesn't. Thankfully my daughter finds them tasty as well. She loves broccoli at 21 months!
