    Every once in a while, I get a "way to go" out of him. But he doesn't say a LOT.

    I think it's a touchy subject and people (especially the men in our lives) are afraid to have something they say taken wrong, so they just don't say anything at all.

    He doesn't say anything unless i ask if he can notice. Last night he told me that he could tell because when he wrapped his arms around me in bed he could touch himself again. I was like....uh i THINK that's a compliment haha

    Just wondering if anyone has lost weight or toned up and had much said to them from your partner? My husband doesn't say much unless I say something, wondering if it just doesn't matter or if I have been married too long lol!

    My wife has noticed and made several comments....

    My husband asks me to please stop losing weight. He doesn't want me to get any smaller because he is afraid I will lose my butt. LOL There is no way I am stopping when I am still firmly in the obese catagory. Too bad for him.

    My hubby knows I'm losing weight because I tell him when I hit 5 or 10 lb marks, but as far as him saying something about it on his own --- NOPE! Not a word. He says it's because it's a touchy subject and somehow I always find a way to twist his words and make him sound like a bad guy... not true, but whatever. I know I look better so that's really all I care about. He's never been a guy that throws out compliments to me, so I never really expected him to be overflowing with positiveness anyway. I wish he said more and helped boost my confidence a little bit, but oh well... what can I do.

    Well....I can understand where he's coming from because women do tend to do that a lot. We have to learn how to take compliments (I am speaking for myself on this) because we are our worst critics.

    Mine will not say anything unless I ask if he can see a difference.His rational for not saying anything, and its a valid one if not still annoying :frown: He sees me every day so doesnt notice the difference the way others do. I know he has noticed, when I sit on his lap for a cuddle he now makes me bring a cushion with me to protect his leg from my "boney bum":sad: :sad:

    Yes he does and he has been very encouraging. He said I didn't need to change, but likes the new me.

    I only lost something like 7 - 8 lbs since I've been on MFP and everyone (my family and friends) keeps saying, Oh wow! You lost a lot of weight!! (...which I dont quite understand because I dont think that I look much different.) My husband doesn't really say much about my looks, which is fine. However, this past summer, he did smile and his eyebrows went up a little when I showed up at the pool in a black bikini. He's a man of few words. I get it. :)
