Yes. But he's told me he doesn't get jealous because he thinks it's a stupid emotion so I like it when I see him acting a little jealous! lol He's told me I better not get skinny & leave him. Unfortunately, I understand where he's coming from as I've had 3 friends do this to their husbands. We had to have a long talk about this being about my health. I told him he needs to worry about that like I do. I'm not going anywhere but my health could take me away so accept that I'm serious about dropping the weight this time.

Nope. He is my biggest motivation and keeps me going when I burn out.0
-
Yes…I am sad to admit… at least I only get indifference now..before it was worse
Why?0 -
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*.
And this. I wasn't getting any compliments unless I pretty much asked for them. I finally snapped on him at this. I told him he should be my biggest supporter and wasn't and that was a damn shame. He's never been very verbal, that's just his way. I've learned that sometimes you just have to spell it out to people what you want from them when they have that kind of personality! lol0 -
Mine does ask if I found a really fit guy on here :laugh: there is tons. I am not interested....I love him.0

Nope, not jealous of me. He enjoys the healthy food and likes it when I'm good and sweatied up (ew...what IS that about???). But he is a lot more jealous of guys' attentions toward me. It's odd because I was doing some modeling when we met and he wasn't the least bit jealous then, but now....:noway:
Guys are strange sometimes. But mine means well and is pretty darned supportive in anything I choose to pursue.0 -
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!!!
OMG What a d!ck.. You deserve so much more than that.0 -
I think my husband is slightly irritated at how much time I spend on mfp, but he has never asked me to stop using it, or to stop improving my body. He's happy when I'm happy. And I'm happy when I'm busy, slim and fit.0
-
The other day he told me that he didn't have as far to go to get into shape for vacation as I did. However in the last few months I've lost while he's gained. I think there's a bit of denial about his own physique there, but not jealousy. He also thinks he's still at 12% body fat when I'd guess about 15%.0

My wife is very supportive, she even makes breakfast for me while I'm getting ready for work. I don't think she likes how much time I spend on MFP, either. Lately, she's been creeping my profile. Hi honey!0

My husband is looking to lose 15 pounds so he's very supportive especially since me counting calories means I'm already counting his as well, since I do all the cooking.0

My husband did that once and wanted to know who's ab picture I had up. It was mine of course.0 -
My Dave struggles with the healthy breakfasts even after six months of starting the day with them.
He has been supportive, he seemed to lose interest in me in the bedroom a bit when my boobs shrank but he's enjoying the hiking, walking and extra badminton I can now play. You are right that you can lead a horse to water (but you can't make it drink). He doesn't take care of his own health, stresses, and nutrition but tolerates my healthy cooking because I try to make it varied and interesting.
He knows that when I weigh the same as him I will be in my healthy range so we muck about with the scales sometimes which is fun. He holds one of our cats when I'm not looking and I think he's put 7lbs on! He doesn't like that our grocery bill is higher due to the good quality free range meat, responsibly sourced fish and organic veg but I feel there's no point doing half a job!0 -
He has loved it so far and I think he will continue to ... 0
-
Yep, we had some issues, but he got over it. I guess its a big change when someone starts doing something like that and he was worried about the women getting bulky myths and that.0
-
Not really, he is a little annoyed with the healthier suppers and lack of junk food in the house though.

My spouse isn't supportive, and refuses to do anything physically herself. We both lost weight through MFP in 2011 (she lost more than me!), but due to an injury, she stopped. We both 'fell off the wagon' and gained all our weight back. She hasn't done a thing since. She used to guilt me into not working out, since I was taking time away from the family in the evening.. last February I finally said that I was doing it with or without her. 291 days later, I'm still here. I'm down 58 pounds currently, but down 110 pounds from my heaviest weight. She, however, has gained approximately 100ish pounds.. she still refuses to do anything, giving me every excuse in the book. At least now she doesn't guilt me too much about the workouts, but I primarily work out BEFORE work (at 2:30am) while the family is asleep.
If you have a supportive spouse/person, don't take that for granted. If you're with someone that isn't supportive, or tries to bring you down, know that you CAN still acheive your goals, even with their negativity.
Just remember- nobody can do this for you BUT YOU. Supportive people or not.0 -

This story (but not your picture!) sounds like a guy I know - same fact pattern. Except when he got thin he decided he was gay and left his overweight wife and his child for that lifestyle. So I think weight loss has an effect on people in a variety of ways!My spouse isn't supportive, and refuses to do anything physically herself.

No, my boyfriend is completely supportive of me and my decisions. Love that guy.0

^^^This^^^ :smokin:0 -
Jealousy...a little. Asked me to stop, NEVER! He is super supportive and is very proud of me.0
-
Maybe a little… I got cocky when I did a show and it tore us apart, turned into a bit of a monster. But I've learned (the hard way), never again.0
-
Not jealous but not super supportive either. Extremely picky eater and turns his nose up when I want to try something new but my theory is unless you wanna cook for yourself this is what we are having. He's never struggled with weight so he doesn't understand. However I think although he's skinny he's not healthy!!!0
-
Ever showed jealousy towards you after you started your fitness journey? Or wanted you to stop for any reason?
yup. he thinks its dumb because "I don't need to lose weight"0 -
Nope, she is the reason I started to workout and take better care of myself0
-
Nope, he comes to the gym with me and eats all of the new healthy concoctions I make in the kitchen. He is super supportive!0
-
My husband used to get annoyed with my "picky" eating habits; but once he started working out and joined MFP...he has picky eating habits now too!0
