Question for the ladies...

I've been with my SO for 6 years and he knows and has always known how much I weigh. Will I get on the scale in front of him? No.

LOL - me either. It's one thing for him to "know" - another thing for him to see... kinda like pooping... I'm pretty sure he knows that I "do" - he just doesn't need to "see" me do it! LOL!

That is the strangest thing I have ever heard!!! What's the big deal? My bf's usually still in bed but it's like he has a 6th sense for knowing when I'm naked...so as soon as I step on the scale, I know he's peeking. It doesn't bother me. Why should it?

I have a feeling that for me... it's the amount that I'm overweight by... I haven't ever felt comfortable in my own skin... I've been "morbidly obese" my entire adult life. Even when I was in high school and looked "thin" - according to doctors charts and society's ideals - at a size 9, wearing a 38 DDD - I was still considered overweight. When you've never felt "ok" in your body - it's hard to let someone (even the one you love most) see you at your most vulnerable... and standing on the scale naked is when I feel my most vulnerable. Strange or not... it's very much how I feel.

My husband has known how much I weigh from the very beginning, he has been with me through my transformation and has been my main support. He even measures me once a month. I still weigh a few pounds more than him, but it does not bother me. I know we are different people with different body types so who cares. He would probably weigh more than me if he had my curves, but then he would just look silly .

Yep, mine knows. I tell him what the scale says, whether it's up or down. When we met 4 years ago, he was about 235lbs and I was 150lbs. In 3 years, we went through hell and back a couple of times together and I gained about 40lbs. He also gained about 35lbs. He eventually had to go on two blood pressure meds and is still on them. He is REALLY lacksidaisical when it comes to going to the gym and is a pain in the *kitten* when it comes to eating healthy. It drives me insane. BUT, this past Christmas after getting on the scale and hitting 190lbs, I decided enough was enough and started my journey. He jumped on the gym wagon for a while, but it has been tough for him. He started a new job and they are constantly changing his hours, so getting him to the gym is tough. I am lucky enough to have the time to go everyday and it's starting to show. Not on the scale, but in the way my clothes are fitting, etc.

I do have to give him credit though. While I was gaining so much weight, he never made a comment to me. He just took it in stride and figured I would wake up and realize just how big I had gotten (luckily I did). Now, he comments all the time about how much thinner I look and even today he commented that my biceps are bigger than his now!!!

So yeah, he knows and is 100% supportive (though he can be quite whiney when it comes to the gym).

Heck no! The only one who knows is my doctor and of course myself. Why would he need to know?? And I lock the bathroom door when I get on the scale nekkid. With three kids , husband and one bathroom I better lock the door or they burst in or knock. 'Mom, you in there?"... never fails.
weight is a very personal thing to me and as long as I am losing people can know that, but I just like keeping the number on the scale to myself.That's just me. I have issues from childhood with the scale numbers and I will prob. never get over it so I keep it to myself.

I totally get this, I have been obese since my early 20's. When I was in high school I was probably 20-30lbs. over weight and made to feel like I was 300lbs. I am sure that weight would have shifted around a bit as I got older if I had an accurate idea of how I looked. Unfortunately I felt so big in my mind I never noticed the massive weight gain until I looked at an old picture one day. I am still not comfortable in my skin but am working on it.
There is no way anyone but my doctor (and I'm not even thrilled with that) will see me on a scale; like you that is where I feel naked and vulnerable.

I'm single currently but when I was dating the guys knew. HAHAHAHHA. I mean, I'm REALLY upfront about my weight and if somehow it came up in conversation (which as soon as they find out Im running and watching what I eat they want to know why and it leads to the weight loss discussion which leads to; oh come ON! You don't weigh that much! comment which leads to me revealing my weight).

I think there is a stigma that says women should never reveal their weight OR age but that's silly really. The 'mystique' of women isn't REALLY necessary to 'trap' a man... or to keep him interested, like the women before us believed. Heh.

Do your hubby or boyfriend know how much you weigh?

Yes my boyfriend knows it.. Actually since my tummy is too big to see the sliders of the scale he is the one who reads it while i stand on it. And i can say for myself i like that he knows it.. he sees my progress and can cheer for me.. and if i go up he can support and encourage me to make it better the next week.

Even still he tells me that would be too much weight to lose and I'm gonna look like a stick. He has some serious love goggles on.

Sounds like my husband! I love the 'love goggles'! That is great. Its great that our men love us the way we are.
