How real is post wedding gains?

[scissorhands]

I’ve posted here about my relationship with my girlfriend. Not a feedee relationship, but she knows I like bellies and weight gain. We’ve been together for 6 years, and in that time I think she’s gained over 40 lbs, going from 180-226. She may have lost a few pounds from her peak, I have no idea. She has an inverted triangle body type, a lot of the weight goes to her boobs and belly, but she’s still got a nice booty and thighs. 
 

She grew up fat, lost weight in early adulthood, and has gained a lot of it back. It’s been a dream come true for an FA like me to see her grow. And she loves when I buy her treats. We got engaged and it was magical to embrace her and feel the rolls on her hips. 
 

Now she’s discussing toning up for the wedding day. I totally anticipated this and I’m ready to join in with her. But I’m already looking forward to what’s waiting on the other side. I’ve seen plenty of friends drop weight before their weddings and have the pounds bounce back with compound interest 😉

 

So I guess I’m on a little copium, wondering if the wedding diet could end up in my favor. Who else has been in this situation?

@scissorhands I'm not married- been together for 30 years but we don't want to rush things..🤣

What I can say though is that if your partner is already prone to weight gain, as the years go on, you'll have a great time 😉😈

Haha, very real in my experience.

i would say it is very real. not a law for sure but odds are in your favor. the simple fact of feeling there, past the wedding pics, and now comfortable at home eating and living the newly weds life it does tend to gain weight and it is a beautiful thing

If someone has to lose weight for your wedding, what's going to keep them from gaining it back once the wedding is over?

In my experience, the people who stay thin after a wedding are those who were thin beforehand. And even then, a lot of thin people get fat after their wedding too. And there is definitely an element of "comfort" following getting married, where the reassurance of a long-term relationship allows people to feel less self-conscious about their weight.

Personally, my partner has always been thin, bordering on curvy. She didn't lose weight for our wedding, but she did pay more attention to her eating and exercise. In the year since, she's probably gained about 15 pounds, and I assume a lot of that has to do with her no longer stressing about fitting in her dress.

Long story short? She'll probably have a hard time keeping the weight off once the two of you are married.

Since you have been together, she progressively gained 40 lbs. There is absolutely no reason that this will change. Of course, for the wedding day she would like to look slimmer, so she'll diet and try to loose some, but as soon as you'll have put the ring on his finger, the progression will resume as before.

So my wife was about 170 when we met. The day we got married she was 150. Now 9 years later she is close to 225. So yes it's real. She has a nice belly hang

[VanillaGorilla]

My wife probably lost 20lbs for the wedding and was nearly at the weight she was when we met, one of her friends even commented how ‘she lost her butt’ she was so thin. She kept the weight off for about a year past the wedding but now being married for 5yrs she’s up roughly 50lb, 5-7 dress sizes and is the biggest she’s been in her life. I think it’s all about being comfortable and not needing to do something she doesn’t want to have to do.

My wife dieted and exercised religiously before our wedding and probably got down to 180-185. Five years later, she’s at 215 and she’s dropped the exercise and maintained her snacking. I think once she realized she didn’t have to keep the weight off for me, she was more okay with some relationship gain.

i've been married for less than a month, but it seems like... real! hahaha. i haven't been on a scale to check, but I could just barely get my shorts over my thighs before our honeymoon and now I can't at all.

i thought maybe I would slow down since I gained 45 lbs. after moving in with my fiance, but it was cold and rainy for our vacation and all I did was eat!

Very real. Keep supporting and pampering and she’ll plump right up after she walks down the aisle.

walk up the  aisle,  waddleback.......itdest happen that fast, but happens

[Guest Carcer89]

Got to agree, most couples I know who've got married have gained weight quite promptly, and that's both of them.

This has pretty much been my experience too. The post-wedding weight gain is very much real!

[spaced21]

you can pretty much guarantee if any weight was lost for the wedding it will come back quickly (within a few months).  That was my experience.  

[FeedistDani CLIPS]

Lol -- I've gained almost 100lbs since then. Something about being comfortable in my body & relationship! And maybe being a full-time feedee... and of course if you start a family, the pregnancy weight gain is REAL.

[insider]

A lot depends on the woman's natural size.  If she is meant to be bigger and fights it, she may decide after the wedding that it is time to let her body be natural. That happened with my wife and it was one of the best parts of married life.

[vlad2112]

In my experience it’s very real. Lol. Wife gone from chubby to very big since marriage. At least 40lb gain, and she’s not a gainer.

She look good?

[Timtom86]

My wife has gained 80 pounds has a great hanging belly. She isn't into anything here if just happened naturally and 🌿 didn't hurt. It took her a while to come around but she's quite confident without she looks now

Oh yeah. I certainly think so. She's less keen as the weight has gone to her middle, but I love her big belly.

[vlad2112]

PS I used to be skinny when we married and have also gained a gut so no judgement lol. I'm skinnyfat she's just lovely and fat all over

[scissorhands]

Thanks for the input so far, everyone! Sounds like things are looking up! She is losing weight, which is kind of a bummer. But I know that’s the phase we’re in. She is predisposed to being fat, and said losing weight now is taking a lot of effort.

[bellyluvr]

Honestly I didn't think my wife would ever really gain a whole bunch of weight following our wedding, but we've been married 5 years now and she's at least 20 or 30 pounds heavier than when we got engaged. She was actually 5 months pregnant at our wedding (oops 😅) and was not too thrilled to be showing in her wedding dress. 

In the years since then she topped out at 190, and is currently back down around 180 and seems to be maintaining. She's definitely got a "wife bod": zero muscle tone, heavy natural breasts, round tummy that hangs down slightly over her panty line, big thighs, and a fat jiggly butt. I'm more and more attracted to her shape every day, even as things start to not be as "perky" as they used to be.

Don't worry too much about her losing weight- my experience with my partner tells me it will be back 👍😊

My partners natural body shape is "plump" so it becomes easier for her to maintain that 😍🥵😂
