My wife always says that I look good, even I'm now so fat, once we are together. When she says that, it kills the motivation to do sports or diet.
I was ok before we met and now I look like a burger.Why they do it? It's better for them if we are fat and ugly, but we are at home?

just get on with it.
once you start a week routine of training like 3-5 days you will be sorted, its getting started thats hard.
Sprint interval training is great for fat burning and muscle gain thanks to its growth hormone stimulation.but finding room to sprint isnt easy, so get skipping, its great, more fun than running, but not as fun as sprinting -
Also try long walks, some people say the low intensity exercise of walking burns fat better than more intense exercises like running, which they say burns carbs rather than fat.

- are you saying the cold encourages weight loss?Hombre_Lobo
- It's a theory, it makes sense in my mind :P The colder you are the more energy/heat you lose?!?Sneakybadger2
- Meh!?

Me - gym 5 times a week for 8 weeks = lost pant size, blood pressure down from 150 to 130, never winded, can bench-press bellydancers with ease.
Tips:
• Avoid anything that has bread, noodles or listed as high carbs. Switch beer to wine.
• When at the gym, do 30 min cardio, then work out only large muscles. Don't bother with curls or anything like that. Work out your chest, back, legs, and shoulders predominantly. Focus on a combo of weighs and metabolic exercises like burpees and squats.
• Don't rest for more than a minute between exercises.
• Don't weigh yourself for at least a month. Let the first improvements be perceptual, not measured, for better positive reinforcement.
• Don't ever let anyone tell you "why not just take the day off from the gym this one time". Even if it's your wife.
• If you miss a day in the week, you have to make up for it on saturday or sunday.
Gonna keep going with "the plan" and then slay some Barcelona tail this summer.

Exercise is good for your organs, helps increase metabolism and will give you more energy, all which will help to lose weight. On the down side, it's hard work. You actually have to do it.
If you are in fact "fat" you can lose weight without going to the gym every day. You just need to adjust your diet. In my opinion, it's much easier to change diet than work out. You just need will power.
Weight loss is simple math, there is no magic.
3500 calories = 1 pound (0.45kg)
If you want to lose 1 pound per week, you need to intake 3500 calories less than you burn. This means you need to burn 500 calories more than you eat PER DAY. If you're consistent, you can double this to 1000, dropping two pounds per week. Most people say you shouldn't try more than that. And consistency is best.
A 500 calorie per day deficit is easy if you are currently eating poorly. (If you are fat, I assume you eat relatively poorly. If you're eating super healthy every day and still getting fat, you should see a doctor immediately.) It's much, much, much more difficult to exercise yourself to a 500 calorie deficit. If you don't believe me, plug your workout and diet into a calorie counter and see.
The bottom line: if you don't change your diet you will not lose weight. It's too difficult (unless maybe you're a teenager.)
Use a calorie counter and don't cheat. I used www.fitday.com for the first few weeks once I decided to lose weight, just to get an idea of what was wrong in my diet. Some things will surprise you. Even when I thought I was eating super healthy, I was making a few choices that were totally screwing up my ability to lose weight. For example, I would make a raw vegetable sandwich on whole grain bread, but I would put a little mayo (a little can't hurt, right?) and a slice of cheddar (cheese is dairy so it's ok, right?) and I thought I was being so good and everyone should congratulate me on my awesome meal. Mustard has no calories. Mayo has tons. Cheese is mostly fat and salt, and you don't NEED it. A glass of milk is a better choice.
Paying attention to your caloric intake will help you learn which foods are safe, and which are making you fat.
The hard part is maintaining the 500 calorie deficit EVERY DAY. If you cheat and go to McDonald's one day, it can waste the past three days worth of hard work.
Keep at it, and be glad you have a wife that thinks you are not fat, even though you probably are.
