Since she lives in Jersey, expect her to get fatter. I live in South NJ and find a lot of obese women all over the place, probably due the being in a less affluent area.
Not sure how to motivate her to get there, but maybe when she begins to pick out wedding dresses she might realize she is bigger than a prius.

I would suggest trying to do my athletic things together, like going for walks, hiking or bike riding. Maybe rollerblading. Anything to get her fatass to get some exercise. If you tell her straight up she's getting pudge she'll most likely get all defensive. Unless she's super busy and doesn't have a lot of time to work out there is no reason for her to becomes such a fatass. Also, you might want to start dining at healthier places. Just some suggestions.

Would I leave her, no. But I don't want to be that "couple" I always make fun of, if you know what I mean

I totally agree. Try and do fun physical things together. Did Hal Johnson and Joanne Mcloud not teach you anything?

I guess it wouldn't hurt if she returned to the eye candy she was when we met. Not that she isn't now, but you know what I mean.
She used to be very athletic. She was on track and field, a swimmer, and on the college rowing team. But meh, I guess it's true what they say when you find someone....
Buy a dog. Make her walk it. Its doing wonders for my wife and me.
Try a grey hound or a husky. They need lots of walking.
Good luck. Both the wife and me have packedon a few. Doesn't paying the health club dues count for something?

You could suggest having "Fat Bottom Girls" be your wedding dance.

One of my exes got dumped just before she was supposed to get married because she ballooned up. Very sad. It might be something she can't help - she might be very nervous about the wedding and eating to calm her nerves, or she might just not have adjusted her calorie intake right if she's not as active as she one was.
Definitely follow the advice to do fun and physical things. You might also have to accept that she's just not going to be the eye candy she was when you first met. It's going to happen sooner or later to both of you.

Consider this for a second: MAYBE you just don't dig her that much. If you can't get over the weight issue, it might be good to stop wasting each other's time. If you think I am way off on that one, then you should bring it up as a health concern.....like you know she would feel better if she had more energy and strength etc. I agree with offer to go for walks, and eat healthier too.

Personally, yes looks matter and the most important thing is I'd want her to be HEALTHY, but if she's your future wife it shouldn't matter if she's fat or not.

Depends what kind of relationship you have. If you guys can talk about anything just let her know its bothering and if she can just make an effort. She probably wont get back to a 20yr old body but something is better than nothing.
another thought... check out the other females in her family, mom and aunts. They should give you an idea on what she might look like later down the line. I know I didn't get blessed with the skinny genes so my ass has to work out all the time to fight genetics. She might have to do the same.
You know she is probably really stressed with the wedding approaching and fitting in the perfect dress and looking perfect in the prefect wedding blah blah blah...stress does alot of damage to a body, and the last thing she is going to want to hear is you telling her to lose weight. If she is as athletic as you say she used to be she'll notice it in the mirror one day and start kicking it all off.
