    He has never asked, but I have periodically told him when he is commenting on how he can tell that I am loosing weight.

    It's just a number. I tell people I don't even know WAY more embarrassing stuff than that, so I would have no problem confessing my weight to a boyfriend/husband.

    I honestly don't think I've ever told a boyfriend how much I weighed. No need.

    I don't mind telling anyone. Some weigh more, some weigh less, so it's not a big deal. My husband knows what I weigh cuz I'm always talking about it and he always says I look good, no matter how much I weigh. I don't agree but that's kind of him.:wink:

    My boyfriend honestly doesn't care how much I weigh. He just knows when I'm exercising and happy with how I look I'm more willing to put out, haha so that's all that he cares about.

    I actually finally told my husband once I finally got serious about losing weight. It was something very personal for me and something I was extremely embarrased to tell him (or anyone!) but he is super supportive and it was actually really empowering to tell him. He's helped me along the way and shared all my triumphs with every pound I've lost. I was expecting him to react with a face or a grimace or something to the weight when I told him, but he didn't and I think that helped me more than anything, realizing that he's the one person that will never judge me no matter what! I love that man!

    I would always tell my husband "too much" when he asked my weight. Then one day he said how could he be proud of me when I tell him what I weigh (when i reach my goal) if he doesn't know where i came from. That made sense to me so I broke down and told him!! Obviously I carry my weight "well" b/c people always say, "you dont look like you weigh that much"....but that is a whole different conversation:huh:

    My boyfriend knows how much I weighed at my highest weight and my current weight. I pretty much tell him every time I weigh myself now because I'm excited to be losing. It probably depends on the couple though. We've been together 6 1/2 years, so there's really nothing we keep from each other.

    I tell everyone I meet. My guy doesn't give a care either way, my mom says (hah) 'don't get too small!', my dad doesn't seem to hear me, and passerby almost always say 'no way you weigh that much!'

    My husband is tremendously supportive but I have always chosen to not tell him. We've been together forever, since I weighed like 100 lbs, so admitting that I got up to 165ish is too much of an ego blow for me.

    In the beginning before I started to lose weight I told people I weighed something much less than I did, because well... I looked like I weighed less.

    Now... I don't care at all! I told my boyfriend of 1 year how much I weigh almost everytime I step on the scale, and everyone knows I've lost 20 pounds almost and are proud of me, not the number on the scale :D

    He's like a freakin giant next to me, I'm only 5 ft. So he's always assumed I weighed less than I actually do, and that's just because I'm short.

    Hubby and I frequently weigh in together in the morning. We workout together. We're in this together. No need to keep my weight a secret from him. As long as I never weight more than him, then we're cool. :laugh:

    I never used to (hell no!), but now I tell if it comes up. If they freak out, it wasn't meant to be.
