    Mine is super supportive but once in a while he can be a bad influence. He got used to bringing me home candy (it was a ritual when i was preggo and/or fat) and now i'm like "damn, better not waste this" hahaha.
  • Yes, my husband is terribly jealous. He hates my use of MFP and is convinced I am cheating on him. I know he has insecurities of his own, but that doesn't give him a right to take them out on me.

    My ex-hubby used to encourage me for a little bit, then suddenly he would get sullen, and quiet.... Towards the end of our marriage he fessed up that he preferred me being big (and helped it along as much as he could) because he didn't want other men even looking at me.

    Not really jealous as much as unsupportive in some ways. I think he kept expecting it to be a tempory thing and as my journey continued he complained about the expenses and time of my new lifestyle. I can see that my personal trainer is expensive and I don't need her to work out but I like training with her and I have no other habits so I think it was a small price to pay. If you add up his ice fishing, camping, movies, drinking, and watching the fights I am sure he spends more then I do on the trainer. Plus the more I exercised and ate good the more watching him sit on the couch annoyed me. I guess you could say my lifestyle change was a source of contention. We have recently split ways.

    A bit scared of change (healthy foods, really?) and competitive (now that I'm smaller than him, he's trying to eat better) and not happy about "the girls" shrinking (no explanation needed, right?)...but not jealous.

    He could care less..

    LOL this ^^

    Me: I come home from working out and say, "Hey Hunny, I just walked 45minutes and burned 250 calories!"
    Him: Without moving his eyes away from whatever sporting event is on TV. "That's nice, Dear"

    or

    Me: "I've tracked my food for 30 days in a row!"
    Him: Stares at me with a confused look..."Is that something to be proud of?"

    Maybe he will start to notice once I have lost more weight.

    My husband has been indifferent about my entire Journey. It wasn't til this last weekend that I found a picture of myself from June of 2012 that he realized how far I've actually come.
  • My wife and I both try to support each other to keep up the encouragement. Especially when one of us gets down and starts to slack off. I give her hell about eating sweets, she gives me hell about eating bacon (omg I miss bacon so much!) She is also a vegan, but we work around that because I just throw meat into my portion of whatever she makes. She used to be insulin resistant and lost about 80 lbs, so she is super motivated to stay fit.

    Well my husband is totally supportive - we both signed up to MFP together and have been losing weight steadily together since then :-)
    We support each other, and he even bought me a Fitbit a while back.

    I really feel this journey is bringing us even closer :-)

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

    A bit. I work at a college so lots of impressionable young women and that doesn't help.

    No. He has said he likes me the way I am, but I think he's just being sweet. He has warned me not to go too far and look like a stick figure.

    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.

    I'm in this boat with you...only my bf isn't completely unhealthy...by eating yes, but by size/fitness, no, but only b/c he has a physically demanding job. He doesn't ever compliment me either, and if I even think about making a comment that I don't feel well, or I'm tired or whatever, then he says "Well, maybe if you took a day off working out..."

    And I love when he breezes though and makes a comment similar to "All this working out is making me hungry...better have a coke and some oreos"....and sits there and eats them. So is he jealous or asks me to stop? No...but he's not exactly supportive of me either.
