Ever showed jealousy towards you after you started your fitness journey? Or wanted you to stop for any reason?

    No, just warned me against burnout. I tend to roll at high speed for several months and then crash. He knows my o/m.

    Nope but he dislikes the fact that it means I leave the kids with him for several hours at night each week to workout. He is enjoying my confidence and improved body.

    Exactly the opposite. Our relationship was good before, but it's phenomenal now that we're BOTH in better shape. There's no jealousy on either side, and we both encourage each other.

    He acts strange about it...in a way that makes me think me losing weight is making him insecure. He acts like my diet and workouts are disruptive to his life. Like me doing a 40 minute Insanity workout in the living room is really that disruptive! He doesn't compliment me on my success either unless I am bragging about it and pull up my before photos...then he has to admit I'm kicking *kitten*. I am trying to get him motivated to get healthy too....but I think that is something everyone has to commit to on their own.

    Not really, he is a little annoyed with the healthier suppers and lack of junk food in the house though.

    At first, she teased me and jokingly accused me of having another woman on the side; and I think she was a bit jealous that I was losing weight a lot faster than her.
    Now that she's seen how much I've slimmed down and toned up, she wants to get more active and lose more weight too.

    Yes. Except by the time I looked good, we were no longer together. He was/is very jealous.

    Nope. He's encouraged me, but sometimes he does tell me that he's concerned that I'm getting obsessed, which I see his point.

    As long as it is healthy, what is wrong with that?

    My ex hated me going to the gym and she would never cook healthy. Now that we're broke up she just says how good I look and how jealous she is. I honestly think she thought I would lose weight and leave her.

    Well I do talk about fitness, weight, ect a lot and get a little too down on myself if I gain a couple of ounces. Even a friend of ours let him know that I'm getting on her nerves about that stuff, although I was only talking about it to give her some advice since she's been wanting to lose weight.... I'm working on it though.

    He's never shown jealousy towards me per se (in fact, he is very proud of my progress), but he has shown signs of being a tad bit more "protective". That's the word I will use in this scenario. He just keeps his eyes open a lot more then he used to when I was heavier. :ohwell:

    I don't mind him keeping his eyes open and he doesn't get angry if people find me attractive, but if anyone disrespects him by being too forward when they know that I am married then he flips his lid. :embarassed:

    Mine keeps saying I'm becoming addicted to exercising. I only do 60 minutes a day. But then again, he's complaining about work pants being tight...

    My STBEH came home one day and told me if I didn't lose weight, he was leaving me. I lost the weight and asked for a divorce. He is now a complete jerk about the fact that I lost the weight, tells me I'm just out to fool my next ex-husband, and that my "frail little body" makes him sick. Mind you, I was only a size 8 when he delivered his "lose weight" ultimatum. The majority of my weight loss occurred before I met him- I was a size 0 when we met, then I had our daughter, and didn't get the weight off fast enough for his liking. His new girlfriend's legs are the size of my arms... he likes the sickly anorexic look. Good riddance- I'd rather be healthy!!!

    Nope, he has been the biggest support a girl could want. Whatever I need, he makes sure I have. I'm a lucky girl.

    Nope. He is just happy no matter i am fat or thin. He just wants me to be happy and healthy. I ask him to remind me my goals when i start to stuff food down my throat and he does that. He is the best , though i sometimes do wish he was a tad bit more jealous LOL
    He is nowhere near insecure and trusts me completely(to the point of being annoying :laugh: )

    No, he's supportive. However he is jealous of the friendships I've made on here and that I have this "MFP world" without him. So I continually challenge him to sign up and become a part of it. Which he doesn't...

    Oh, hell no! We met when I was just 19 years old and had a killer body. He would be thrilled if I got that back, but so far, I haven't made that my goal.
