Does you SO know how much you weigh?

I tell him literally every day, poor guy must be so bored of my obsession...

my hubby and I weigh in together and he doesnt have an issue with what he weights.... Or what I weigh although I think secretly we are both glad I weigh less than him now.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't know and hasn't even asked me in 13 years of marriage.

Gemmz..... your boyfriend likes you for who you are. Men don't obsess about weight the way women do, even if you told him it isn't going to mean anything to him and it's not going to change how he sees you. It's just a number to him, he won't see it any different to your shoe size or something..... This thing of attaching value judgements to specific weights is something women do to themselves and to each other. And really the women who do that need to stop and start focusing on health and what they can do, and yes looks matter to some extent (to all humans regardless of gender) but the mirror tells you what you look like, not the scale.

Yes! After a year & 3 months (4 of which we were domestic partners) I finally told him. I say 'finally' because he had asked me and when I told him I wasn't going to tell him it became a bit of a game where he'd ask, I'd tease, & so goes the flirtation.

In the end I told him because I saw a picture of myself where I didn't recognize who I had physically become. I knew sharing my weight with my partner would hold me more accountable for the fitness journey I was about to embark on. He's strong.

At first he did not believe me... he said I must be wrong by about 40 lbs! We went out to the nearest store together, bought a scale, & I have lost 34 lbs since then (August '13).

My SO is 108kgs (238lbs) of muscle. I'm an insignificant 54kgs(118lbs) right now, when I tell him I want to lose 4kgs (I'm 5'2") he looks at me funny. Thinks I'm going to make him look like the hulk.

Why am I so afraid to tell my bf how much I weigh? We have been together for four years!

I'm happy to tell everyone, even though I am still overweight. It's just a number, nothing to fear. Does he know your height? lol

I think it's just that in society women don't like to disclose their weight, kind of like how they don't like to share their age sometimes. Also there's this idea that women should be 120 or so pounds and many are not. I don't think *most* guys care, but I think some also believe women should be smaller than them, so if you weigh more than a guy you might feel ashamed or embarrassed. I've been with my boyfriend over four years and I just told him, I know my mom never told her SO's her weight so I didn't think you were supposed to. The funny thing is though I realized he knows I'm overweight, and the number won't suddenly make him stop caring about me. For me it was just awkward because I knew his weight and I'd surpassed it, and he had a hard time believing I weighed more than him. But now that I've told him he's just as supportive and loves me just as much as before. If someone's feelings for you changed because they found out your weight, you probably don't want to be with someone like that anyways...

I've been married for almost 27 yrs and I don't think my husband and I have discussed our actual weight other than saying in passing I'd like to lose x amount of pounds, I've gained this much or lost that much. I'm sure he knows how much I weigh or has an idea since he is always with me for medical appointments and the nurse always has to command, "Step on the scale." Where I quickly try to disrobe, remove every extra item, and shave my legs...anything to get the lowest number possible! lol

yes he does, we weigh almost the same,, hes about 8-10lbs more than me but he still loves me though And I am not too shy about it, you can tell about in a range that a person weighs by looking at them most of the time.

Yes. We actually have opposite problems...Im trying to loose as he's trying to gain. We haven't been together long but we keep each other motivated on a daily basis because its a challenge and a struggle for both of us. I never meant to tell him my actual weight until I accidentally gave it away one day...but Im not ashamed of my weight anymore..its still too high but I'm very proud of that number.

I believe so. It's not like he doesn't see me naked, it'd be a little hard to hide.

Yep. I tell him daily.

It is fear of being judged. I am planning on shedding more weight than my SO wants me to - she thinks I get too gaunt just as I am getting into the zone I want to be so as I lose weight I add KG on when I tell her sometimes (she is sensitive to being overweight).
