Liz and Big Ed haven’t been getting along this season, and fans are sure she’s on the verge of breaking down in tears whenever she’s on camera. In a recent episode, Liz confided in a friend that Big Ed taunts her about how she’s put on weight by showing throwback photos from when she was thin. Although she has complaints, 90 Day Fiancé celeb Liz has been focusing on weight loss and has also lost over 20 pounds. It seems that running is one of Liz’s fitness secrets as, on Saturday, she shared photos from a beach marathon that she attended. It was Liz’s first half-marathon, and she finished 13.1 miles after waking up at 6 am. “Starting October Off With A Bang,” Liz wrote over a photo of herself showing a medal.

Liz’s stories from the Pacific Beach marathon also proved that she’s still together with Big Ed. In fact, Big Ed was there to cheer Liz on as she crossed the finish line. When she did, Big Ed was the one who presented Liz with her medal. When Liz accused Big Ed of body-shaming her, she admitted that he was okay with her having "me-time" only as long as she was working out at the gym. Liz believes Big Ed is insecure, and he projects it in a way that makes him look bossy. Liz does feel insulted by Big Ed when he looks back at her old photos and asks her if she’d ever go back to that size.

When Big Ed and Liz broke up for the last time before they got back together, Liz enrolled herself in a heels dance class. She wanted to become like one of the girls that Big Ed started hanging out with after they had split. She wanted Big Ed to love her, which is probably why she decided to lose weight. As per Liz, 90 Day Fiancé star Big Ed is scared to be loved and scared to be hurt, so the control issues that are a byproduct of these feelings make her question if she sees a life with him in the future.

In that case, if they are still engaged, or even married, Big Ed and Liz might have resolved their differences. Liz may have ignored Big Ed’s taunts about her body, and instead might have thought of getting fitter and focusing on herself as a matter of self-care. Big Ed too had started a weight loss journey of his own, and even lost 25 pounds during the 90 Day Fiancé couple’s breakup. Big Ed and Liz are on their own versions of weight loss journeys, regardless of whether they’ve been taunted into starting one.
