To not be bothered I outweigh my fb?

He’s constantly gently teasing me as he is lighter than me and we are the same height exactly (5’9 and a half). I’m bordering overweight at 75kg, he’s 71kg so well within healthy range.

The big but though is I’m confident I’m fitter and carrying muscle. He does zero exercise, like zero, but eats less. I am active. I do yoga daily, he can’t keep up. I can cycle further and faster and not be dead the next day, I can run 5k in 30min and feel fine. I’m generally active, not a gym go-er or training but generally active as can be with three small kids. He gets back pain a lot and fatigue, I feel good. I scoot with kids everywhere, walk a lot, swim during their swimming lessons and generally find time to get active with or without them. I often cycle with two in the trailer.

He thinks I’m making excuses. Obviously I could be a bit lighter, I’m not planning to gain weight. We’re just in disagreement over who has the best approach here! With neither approach being perfect. My diet I’d say is pretty healthy, just too much food at times...

I’d say I’d way less with less muscle, I have a broad but defined back, I can see the muscle in my limbs easily. Middle could be better but I can wear a size 10/12 (about a 29 waist in many jeans). He’s got more power than me still, but I have stamina and a lot of strength for a woman.

He’s focusing on weight, I’m focusing on nutrients and exercise. That’s the difference in approach. Whilst I am the heaviest I’ve ever been I’d also say I’m the fittest. My skin is clear for the first time too (had cystic acne for years) and I need less sleep, I rarely crash out.
