My Sim is Getting Fat!

Hey all!
So when I created my sim, she was slender, and now she's super plump. She's a level 10 cook in both gourmet and regular, but I've been having her make nothing but salads. She goes to the gym every night to work out, and I have her jog in her free time. It seems like she's getting bigger and bigger! She's not pregnant either. Her husband is getting a little round too, but he's managing to stay the same size, or lose little by little just from the "go jogging" option at their house. Is there a glitch, or am I doing it wrong? Every time I log in she gets bigger and I can't stop laughing at the effort I'm putting in to get her smaller. Maybe some sims have thyroid issues?

In my experience, it's similar to real life, where in order to burn fat you need to do cardiovascular exercise, like running on the treadmill, jogging, or swimming.
Putting her on the weightlifting machine will just make her gain muscle.
Jogging should be helping but I would take her to the gym and make her run till she's thin again

Grilled foods such as chicken, salmon, and steak, all have 0 calories. There are others, but those are the ones I can remember best. Stick to foods such as those, and try getting their athletic level up so you can do more intense workouts.
When I restart my save the fat has been splat and my sim is lean after working out and gaining a skill from it.

You don't have to restart, changing outfits will usually accomplish the same thing.

Nah, the worst that happens is they pull a muscle and it won't let you continue.

@Gdurma Only if your sim is an elder.
You can also use mods like Natural Metabolism if mods are your cup of tea.

This is good to know.
(Plus the one to reset a Sim's age when you have two Sims that are too many days apart and you can use it to sort of balance them a bit closer - I like my male Sims older than their female partners.)
I love my Sims to be well versed in cooking (a Sims gotta eat anyway, so why not get some good moodlets going!? ;) ) And now with the City Living pack, I'm obsessed with learning all the new recipes, so that means my Sims are now eating everything in sight when they are in the city! LOL Its like every day is the State Fair for them! :D But I still want a variety of body types in my game, so some of them need to exercise more now.
Does anyone have any hard data on how the new basketball hoop affects weight and muscle on our Sims? :* Do different options on it do different things for them health wise? Thanks!
Buy the potion, instant lean.
I'm honestly relieved it's not like how it is in sims 3, sim gets or is remade fat and loses all the weight over night... I mean in sims 3 you have to work to keep your sim fat but in sims 4, they got it right, you have to work to keep your sim thin.
