My boyfriend is really piling on the pounds however he won't do anything about it. He is so fussy with what he eats and he does little excercise. I keep nagging for him to do something but he just won't listen. What should I do?

I know you don't but you have done all you can IMO. You have voiced your concerns. The rest is up to him im afraid. I know that will be frustrating though.
How about suggesting various activities that you could do together one day. For example, suggest going for a walk somewhere or even suggest something like paintballing where he will be doing some sort of exercise. You don't need to play sport or go to the gym to do exercise. My friend who is a bit overweight decided to get a dance mat for her playstation to do exercise on. It has worked and she has been enjoying it too. And if you are cooking, try and keep it healthy.
You can't force him to improve his lifestyle and if you keep nagging then he may just resent you for that.
:chin: yeh, there's nothing wrong with telling all his and your mates that you think he's fat and needs to get down the gym.
Leave friends out of it.
start talking to him...
tell him your concerns...
try to motivate him... : eat your meals together... go for a run together... arrange to go down the gym together - etc
other than that, there is not much you can really do.
You can either put up with it, dont say anything and love him for what he is, not what he looks like, you could tell him hes getting a bit porky and start buying him skimmed milk or you could dump him for a leaner model.
