No, I haven't gained any weight, but I've never had a weight issue, so I don't think I'm a good example.

DH gained 5 lbs on the honeymoon from all the lobster bisque and blueberry pie he ate!! (we went to Maine). But he lost it when we got back.

I think that stress plays a factor in weight gain after marriage, and also you are so busy with moving, settling in, adjusting to a new routine, that you tend to put exercising on hold. I think a lot of women eat for emotional reasons, and maybe starting a new life brings up stress and feelings that trigger a snack attack!!

They always say there's a Freshman 15, when you go away to college and leave home for the first time and gain weight. Maybe a similar thing happens when we get married???

Yes, I have gained weight (about 10 lbs) mostly because I love to cook and we both love to eat so there's been a lot of that going on. I've also quit smoking. Plus, I feel so much more relaxed and settled.

But now I'm PG so it isn't the time to diet . I'm not too worried though, I've always been in good shape and I will get back on track after the baby arrives!

I have maintained my weight through exercise a nice size 4/6.....I still go to the gym 3-4 times a week. I def. like to cook and eat and Hubby def.. gained about 10 lbs though because I've been cooking alot and he loves my food! He is starting to run with me now though.

Jenn- Thanks honey...but you know when you weighed one thing at one point, and now you weigh something different? I know I have to get my butt in gear...just started using my stepper again, so hopefully I will see results in a couple of months!!
