    Yeah, I do. He doesn't care. I mean he thinks I look great but he doesn't really understand size 6 or size 8 or what weight necessarily means or looks like. So it sort of goes in one ear and out the other with him.

    He couldn't possibly care less, but I'd have no problem telling him.

    We've had this thread before!

    Unless your partner has problems with his sight he knows what you look like regardless of whether he knows a number...

    He does have problems with his sight, he thinks I look great :-)

    I did search prior to creating this threat and I couldn't find anything, probably worded differently.

    OP the issue is you because why would you say that about your SO?

    Apparently the issue is with me, that's why I'm asking. I love it that he thinks I look great but I am very unhappy with my appearance.

    Sit him down and tell him why you feel the way you feel. If you want you can ask him why he finds you attractive. I recommend that questions really sucks hearing a women ask men that.

    Yes. We are always close to the same weight (unless I am pregnant which I won't be ever again).

    I usually did not until I was so proud of my weight loss.
    Down 103 at this point. Now I have it posted on my fridge for all to see.

    I'll tell anyone anything. Specifics too. I have no filter.

    This would be me too.

    Besides, if I'm embarrassed of my weight, what better motivation to move more/eat less. Of course it doesn't always work like that for everyone, but for me it sure seems to.

    I tell him. Whatevs. I'm embarrassed, but the man loves me and my crazy, crazy dog, so I figure it won't scare him off. It's also embarrassing because I weigh about the same as him, if not 5 to 10 lbs more at times. Oh well. We still look cute together! :smile:

    I've come close... but not yet! Though I think he has a general idea.

    I weigh 260ish pounds. I don't care who knows because it's a number. It's going down, but even still, it'll only be a number. Who cares? Work towards something. If he knows your weight, hopefully he can tell you how awesome you are when you lose some.

    It dawned on me that I now weigh less than him, and bragged on it. To my surprise, he was mildly offended. Like I was in competition or something. Nope, just marveling at the changes.

    You got it right sir. The number on the scale is just that and does not really tell anyone more about you.

    No. I don't tell anyone the number. It sounds absolutely horrifying because I have a lot more muscle than most women. Once my bodyfat is down I will probably be able to say the number.

    I don't tell him, but he tells me every time he hits a new low.
