Wow that sucks, I'm sorry!! Have you been overweight throughout your whole relationship? Maybe he's afraid that you'll leave him when you lose weight. I don't know what advice I can give you, he's not being very supportive at all.
23lbs lost since October is awesome!! You just keep it up, you're doing a great thing for your health!!

I was between 170 and 180 when we met. He always told me I looked great. I was still overweight then. His family is all thin and make comments as well. I love how he bashes my family for the coments that they make about my weight though last night he proved to be just as heartless as them. After explaining to him how hurt I was he apprently dosnt think i am seerious

we believe in you, but most of all, believe in yourself. Don't let anyone, not even your husband, keep you from being the best you, you can be. He is insecure and afraid of losing you. Be encouraged.

I think anyone who would be so unsupportive to their partner losing weight and getting healthy must be terrified their partner will leave them when they are thinner. Absolutley ridiculous, but why else would they not be happy for you?

My best friend is in the same position as you OP. She has around 60lbs to lose, has lost 7lbs, and her boyfriend keeps saying "oh you'll never do it, just stay how you are". And he keeps ordering pizzas and chinese.

What an *kitten*.

My boyfriend, although he is not the best at many things, has supported me in this. And to be honest, I need his support. I hope you have someone else in your life that can keep you motivated. (((hugs)))

My wife keeps calling me "heo map" which is Viet for fat pig (supposedly a term of endearment). But then when I start trying to slim down she starts buy chocolate biscuits in bulk and leaving them where I can see them from my computer desk

The only person that you need to lose weight for is you. If those around you don't appreciate what you are doing then spend more time with other people ... those that do understand and are supportive.

Fabulous quote.

All I can say is to make sure to tell your man how you're feeling and maybe talk him through why you're changing your lifestyle. As cliched as this may sound, communication is sooo vital. Don't let any misunderstandings fester.
