Does your SO CARE how much you weigh?

Nope, he says my most attractive feature is between my ears :-) What can I say he likes a smart woman...lol0

I don't think he knows what I weigh. When he was deployed and I emailed him that I was so excited I was down to 115 lbs he replied "I thought you were already 115." On the other hand I have no idea what he weighs... probably somewhere between 160 and 180?? LOL I know he doesn't care he just wants me to be happy and confident, and I don't care what he weighs as long as he feels the same.0

Yup - we weigh ourselves every morning and put up our numbers on the fridge, haha.
We are both looking to lose weight so we care if the other is losing weight, but I don't think either of us care too much what the other weighs as long as we're happy with how we look (as long as I don't get too skinny and she doesn't get too big, haha).
To Suzie: SO = significant other.
thank you. for the life of me couldn't work it out. Knew it was partner, other half!!0 -
He knows what I weigh and how much I cared to lose all the weight. Hes supported me over the years

He knows what my number is and he cares that he wants me to be healthy and happy. Does it effect our relationship? No...as long as we are moving in the right direction to health and happiness, we are content.0
-
not one tiny bit..maybe if I was closer to 200 he might wonder what was up..but really he loves me for me somehow.0
-
He does not know the number, I'm not sure he cares very much. He has said a number of times that he doesn't think I need to lose any more weight, but he is supportive of my fitness goals and likes it when I eat.0

I remember after my first month or so on MFP, having lost about 5 pounds... it was the first time my "If ever day were like today, you'd weigh..." message registered less than 150 pounds. I was so excited, I made my husband look.
He said, "Isn't that more than you weigh now?" :laugh:
He doesn't care one bit what I weigh. And even though I've never kept my weight a secret, and had been mentioning it as I lost, it's not something he stores in his memory like baseball stats.0 -
I mention it in conversation once in a while but I don't purposely tell him. He doesn't care at all. He thinks I look great as is.0
-
My boyfriend says he cares about the number but in reality I think he just wants both of us to be in shape and fit. I tell him what I weigh everytime I weigh myself whether or not he remebers is beyond me. He makes fun of my lifestyle change (mainly bc his metabolism is so great he can eat anything and still not gain weight so he doesn't understand watching what you eat) but is supportive in his own way. He says I need to weigh 115 but as long I am physically in shape and happy he won't care what the ending number is.0

Not only does Nick know how much I weigh, he doesn't care. He DOES care if I'm happy about my body, and he struggles to help me with my struggles. He doesn't know what to do, and has never struggled with weight issues so he doesn't understand but he tries very hard to be supportive and find dinner ideas, etc.0
-
I don't think the number matters that much, but he does know it. He definitely cares how I look though...and when I got down to a size 4, I think he told more people my jeans size than I did :laugh:
This made me giggle. I am short and I wear a size 0. We were folding laundry one day and we had a conversation that went like this:
Him: These shorts say they are a size 0.
Me: Yes.
Him: Isn't that like the smallest size?
Me: Pretty much.
Him: That's weird because these shorts make your *kitten* look huge!
True love. LOL0 -
he knows what i weigh yes, he probally doesnt care. however i get excited when i lose a pound so i update him.0
-
My husband would not care if I weighed 300'ish again or 110, though he prefers I stay healthy. He knows exactly what I weigh at all times. He also likes when I'm more relaxed and not obsessing over my weight. lol. I'm not doing that as much now that I am in the 140's.0
-
My husband has told me a million times he doesn't care how much I weight, as long as I am his sweet heart of a wife. He would rather have me at ANY size, than have a super model version that nags and complains 24/7.
Understandable.
But I have noticed since losing weight, he puts his hands on me much more often! :bigsmile:0 -
Everyone SHOULD care. Weight has a direct effect on health implications for the general population. IMO, if someone says "I don't care what weight you are" they aren't telling you the whole truth.

My boyfriend and I both told each other if the other one gets fat, its over. We are both into fitness and laziness is something we both can not tolerate, along with a huge gut. This keeps us both on our toes.0
-
My boyfriend could care less what my weight is.. I tell him and he's like OK lol.. but when I tell him I lose a pound he's just as happy for me as I am 0
-
Yes, my husband knows what I weigh. Does he care?... I don't think he so much cares about the number as he cares about what it means. The things I can't do because of what that number physically is. How I feel about myself. Those things he cares about.0
-
Mine is a little weird right now knowing I weigh as much as him, but I'm pretty sure it's a male ego thing. I doubt he thinks I'm fat, he just has issues with being "small".0
-
He doesn't know the actual number because I don't share it with anyone, but he has a pretty good guess. And as to whether he cares - that's a mixed response. He doesn't care about the number or me being overweight, what he cares about is that I care about how heavy I am.0
-
Nope. He guesses now and again for the purpose of making a point... (i.e. when he was setting up my snowmobile and said theres no way I weigh any more than 120lbs
)
If it looks good- who cares about the number on the scale. WE shouldnt even care- why should THEY???0 -
Yes he knows...probably because every time I hop off the scale, I demand he high fives me.
And yes he cares. If I get above a certain weight I look super frumpy, my clothes look awful, and I get depressed.
I can't see any guy being ecstatic about living with a grumpy, frumpy chick.
Confidence is sexy-- i want to be comfortable in my own skin, and feel confident enough to leave the lights on when we wrestle between the sheets.
Since I originally started this healthy journey, he's gotten so much better about his exercise and eating habits too.
And we're so much better now that we're both on that healthy train
ETA: and yes, I know how much he weighs, too0 -
Mine just wants me to be healthy. Sure, he would love for me to get down to goal weight..a little smaller than when we met.
However - I don't tell him how much I weigh. Only a few people in my life know that, and he is not one of them. I think he drastically underestimates my weight, and I'm ok with that. I have already decided that when I'm about 30 - 50 lbs away from goal weight [the weight when we met] I would tell him what I got up to.
Soon enough he'll figure a close enough amount out - because I DO tell him how much I have LOST...that and everyone else around me that notices!!0 -
Oh god do you think I care if he's your fiance or boyfriend? Way to miss the point. If you can't see why it's your problem then fine, enjoy being treated like crap.He's not my Finace, but I am working on it, although he is the one that needs to sort through that issue.0 -
My hubby and I are in this together. He has lost 21 lbs and I 20. We neither one care cosmetically about the extra weight. We are concerned about the health issues. I have to add, the more we loose the better the sex. haha:blushing: We do have differant goals, but plan on continuing with MFP for maintance. :0
-
No he doesn't care. I am down 64lbs from my highest weight. We were together when I was in the 220's , met when I was at my lowest ( he did care then he told me I was too skinny quite often, and he was right). When I told him how much I weighed at my highest , he was shocked to know I had ever gone over 200. He doesn't care about the number, but he is elated to see me so happy and proud of myself, so he cares about seeing me continue to take so much pride in myself.0

well you have no idea what I have done about the situation but thanks for your advice.0 -
My husband knows... and he definitely doesn't care. He tells me how much he weighs too. We are in this together for the long haul, so I think something like weight - which is an indicator of one's health - is something important that should be shared. Neither one of us are super fit, but we do try to eat right and work out, so I have no shame in sharing my weight with him.0
-
I think her point was that he doesn't treat you well so you need to fix that. Not become engaged to someone who quite clearly puts you down. That is no life!He's not my Finace, but I am working on it, although he is the one that needs to sort through that issue.0
