    Me and my hubby always say we eat right/work out for better sex. It's (sortof!:) ) a joke, but it keeps it lighthearted. Sometimes I'm trying to lose weight, and sometimes he is. It doesn't matter to either of us what the other one currently weighs, but we do support each other. The hard part for me is staying in my calorie limit no matter what he's doing.

    My husband doesn't really say much, he's overweight too, Hoping to get him on board and lose with me. He accepts me as I am so that's what I love about him.

    Mine doesn't believe I have lost as much as I have. That's the problem when you are morbidly obese. You can lose 50 pounds and it will look like 20, 10 or none. But, I could tell right away, not from the way I look. I think I look the same except in the face. I could tell because it is easier to move around and I don't have to wake up to turn over in bed anymore.

    My boyfriend started out being really supportive but now he's complaining that I don't want to eat junky snacks anymore and he keeps buying me Arizona iced teas. He says I'm not the same person anymore. I'm the same person, I just would rather buy a water than sugary tea. I'm really bothered by this.

    My bf isn't completely supportive but will tell me I'm doing good if he hears that I hit a goal. His main reasoning is he thinks I'm going to start looking for someone new when I get a higher self esteem. Crazy boys...


    Mine is the same. He is trying to lose weight too but struggling with the eating.

    My husband is very supportive of my efforts to get healthy and he helps me make time to get my workouts in. He's been wonderful and one of my biggest supporters.

    My boyfriend is sort of in the middle of what most people are describing. I told him I lost 20 pounds today, and he was really happy for me. But then he always asks me to eat at Taco Bell or McDonald's, and he brings extremely tempting foods into the house when he knows I'm trying to avoid sugar and lose.

    My husband is super happy about my weight loss, but he's rather not hear about it. Maybe, I just talk about fitness too much.

    My husband is very supportive and compliments me on how my body is changing. Just last night he told me it's like I have a new body and that he thinks I'm doing great. He doesn't complain that I don't cook like I used to. I still cook but not the same things that were making us fat and unhealthy. He's definitely not one of those partners that wants to keep me fat. He wants me to look great and be healthy and he's willing to deal with the necessary changes. :smooched:

    Mine is in the military and big on fitness. He says I am doing great but keeps trying to get me to go lifting with the other gorillas at the gym.

    I'm incredibly blessed with a wonderfully supportive boyfriend!!!! When we met 12 years ago I was 380 pounds and even saw me at my heaviest at 420 pounds. When we got together 2 1/2 years ago I was down to around 300 pounds. NOW, I'm down to 210 and though he says he loves me no matter what weight I am and just wants me to be healthy, he now often looks at me like he has won the lottery with his tall, blond, thin girlfriend!!!! :blushing:

    My b/f started out with funny comments about my weighing the food and such. He has seen me lose and gain it all back so he figured it wasn't going to last. But THIS time is different. I never stuck with any weight loss for this long a period of time and he is very supportive now. He tells everyone how beautiful I am. I am loving it!

    I'm lucky to have a super supportive husband. He loved me younger & smaller, pregnant, at my heaviest, and now still loving me throughout my weight loss. He just loves me smiling. :happy:

    My fiance is very supportive. He says I don't need to lose anything and he loves me the way I am now. :) He'll help motivate me on days that I don't feel like working out.

    Man I wish my husband was happy with my weight. Almost daily he comments on my weight. I no longer eat in front of him. The last time I did, I had a piece of toast with almond butter on it for breakfast and he says to me, Boy you sure like to eat! He wants me to lose weight and I'm trying but he just isn't supportive. I worked out 3 times today for crying out loud. I'm 15 pounds overweight because I had surgery this winter and well, that's no excuse, but that's what happened.
