Does your SO know your weight?

I was finishing my food log this morning for last night and looking for an item I asked my bf about. I went to complete the log and got the little page that says "if you ate like this the next x weeks you would weigh ..." And he saw the number. I've never shared my weight with a SO and it's probably because I'm insecure about it. He said it didn't matter and told me his weight which is lower than mine.

Anyway, does your SO know your number?

    Mine does, but only because we both like being healthy and it keeps me more accountable I feel

    Yup, she knows my weight, I know her weight. We've been together for 13 years, and talk about our health concerns frequently.

    No. I've never told any of my SOs my weight. Probably like you said it's an insecurity thing. I imagine at some point my SO will find out, but I'm not in any rush to tell him.

    He does. He also helps me take my measurements and vice versa.

    Every now and then somebody will say it out loud but the number isn't what matters and we see each other naked everyday so it's not like this is a secret.

    Yep. We're both health conscious and active, and share various bits of info like that.

    When i was overweight i wasn't very forthcoming or honest about what i weighed. But now that I've lost it, my hubby knows the number.

    He could know. I write it on the calendar hanging on the kitchen wall every week and we live in the same house. If he wants to know it is right there. He doesn't mention it.

    I used to be pretty secretive about it, but then I went through some medical treatments where I had to be weighed every week to ensure the treatment was accurate for my weight. Since hubby went to most of the appointments with me he saw the number even though it wasn't one I was proud of. I had to get over my insecurities about that. Now that I'm 25 pounds lighter, I'm happy to share it with him. I even ask him what he thinks I weigh on any given day, and he's usually within 2-3 pounds.

    Yeah lol. I probably drove him crazy because when I was 20 pounds heavier I would talk about exactly how much weight I had gained lmao. He doesn't seem to really care what I weigh. Or maybe he just hides it well? When I gained weight last year, I was freaking out, and he didn't seem at all bothered. Now that I've lost it... he still just acts the same as always lol

    Mine knows mine; and I know his.

    When we met he was twice my weight.
    Then I put on 30 lbs, lost it. He then put on 35-40 lbs, lost it.

    Now we are back in the weight ranges we started at 33 years ago.

    We don't actually check up on each other's weight, it just comes up in conversation sometimes.

    It is a source of amusement to us.

    Cheers, h.

    I'd never shared my weight with anyone before but since losing I feel i can tell him now as im not as heavy as i was so not as embarassed if that makes sense. I am about 28lb heavier than him too :-1: so our joke now is that I WILL weigh the same or lower than his weight someday. It's my motivation lol

    No, I don't think my husband knows my weight. Not because I am hiding it from him, we just never talk about weight, even though we both are very much into healthy lifestyle and working out.
    Even if I told him, I would have to write it down on a sticker on the fridge for him to remember it. It's just something he doesn't pay attention to.

    I have no idea. I don't keep it secret but if I've mentioned it, it doesn't seem like the kind of info he'd memorize.

    No way!
    I am currently 17 stone 6 / 244lb.
    My partner guessed that I was about 11 stone (I was a size 12 at 11 stone, being 5 foot 7) so there is no way I am going to shatter his illusions haha!
