    I don't think you should be asking others about your marriage/husband. I certainly don't think others should give you advise! These comments for the most part are NOT helpful and extremely negative. Work on your own marriage. Good luck

    Thank you to Eekasmouse and some of the others who gave serious comments. I do believe my husband speaks without thinking sometimes. He is very jealous of the attention I get now. I have discussed why I am doing this with him but I think he forgets. My reasons are that I want to be around for a long time for him and our 3 children. Recently several relatively young people in our community have dropped dead suddenly and it was a real wakeup call. I mostly wanted sympathetic comments from others in my situation. Didnt really expect so much negativity and sarcasm. Although I did find the headlock and noogie comment funny.

    Don't know your hubby but he may be worried that he'll lose you (side note: congrats on the 41 lbs weight loss - that's awesome). Our former next door neighbors were both overweight. The hubby started eating better and working out. Truth - he turned into a beef cake. She didn't appear to take his transformation so well. I saw her eating burgers in her car in their driveway before she went into the house. It was really sad seeing this because when I would talk to the hubby while we were both doing yard work it was obvious he loved his wife a great deal. They moved away and I always wondered how things are going for them.

    I just talked to my husband over dinner about your topic. He said your hubby kind of sounds like a prick and he would never say that to anyone......(I'm not saying he's a saint, just repeating his words, that's all).

    I still think talking to him about how you feel is best. I just wanted to add that my ex-boyfriend thought women with muscles (like, strong looking women) are super hot (and since I was a bean pole/skinny nothing at that time, I had conflicting thoughts about my physique).

    So, I guess everyone has an opinion. As long as you love yourself and you are proud of your progress, who cares!

    Beat him up. Show 'em who's boss.

    ^^ Yep. ^^ My hubby is always saying I'm going to get too strong and he's afraid I might beat him up.

    In all seriousness, I think he is trying to tell me that he doesn't want me to get too muscular. So I told him today it is really hard for women to get "too muscular" and I would be toned and firmed but not so muscled to intimidate his manly-ness. He laughed at me, but I think he did feel better. I would suggest a heart to heart with the hubby about his concerns and your feelings.
