Admiting weight

Hi. So does anyone else have a hard time owning up to how much they weighed? I weigh 283.5 right now but I started at 310. I am so afraid to tell my husband how much I used to weigh even though I know he loves me and supports me. I am hoping to be comfortable sharing this with people so I can share my success.

Lemme know if I am crazy or what!

Hey you are 283 right now Who cares about the 310 right? It's done with If he loves you then it doesn't matter Plus when you tell him your SW and CW he'll see how much progress you've made I tell my husband my weight every since time I weigh in lol He makes me feel great about myself when he tells me what a great job I've done

edit/ BTW other than my husband I only share my weight with close friends and MFP

I own it. Who the hell cares. Yes, I was 205. Yes, I used to be 105 ,but then I had children and health issues and got lazy and sat around and ate crap.

Yup. 205. Maybe more? I stopped weighing.

Now, I'm 185 :-) And losing. I took my weight into control and I'm kickin its *kitten*!

Own it. It's not YOU...it's just the body you're in

I don't admit mine to anyone but my husband....

Congrats on your weight loss!! That is FANTASTIC!! I also have a hard time admitting to anyone...even my husband...what my weight is. When I say the "number" it feels aweful and makes me feel like Ive let myself down for even getting here. Hopefully this site will help me on my new weight loss journey :0)

I'm sorry but no - I will NEVER voluntarily tell hubby what my start weight was.....particularly because it's more than he weighs. Besides, he has no interest in knowing, so I am going to leave it at that! Yes, I'm probably being silly, but he has NO idea what this is like and has never had an issue with weight in his life...

I dont give that info out to hubs either!

My first starting weight before I found MFP was 264. I remember back then, I'd never tell a soul. In one year with diet and exercise I had gone down to 183! Losing 81 pounds on my own became quite an accomplishment, I would even tell people I had just met if weight loss came up in a conversation. Later I had gone back up to 225 because of a bad break-up and wouldn't tell anyone. I was even lying to myself that I had started to gain it back. Now I found MFP and am back down to 198 and going strong. I think that as you lose weight you gain the courage to admit to everyone, including yourself, your secrets. Dedication and hard work make you shine like nothing else. I know that you'll reach that point. It comes with time. Keep up the good work! It gets much more exciting, I promise!

I weighed more than my hubby when I started this.......my highest weight was 176. After 46 days on here I am down to 158.8 or 159. I know my hubby loves me but I was like damn I weigh more than hubby and I am not pregnant!!! He is 163 lbs. and 5'11"........I am 5'5". They say the 1st step is admitting........blah lol

I feel the same way, but here goes...My starting weight was 210 and currently at 206 and counting.
I've never told anyone that except my guy and even that was hard, but he loves my body for some strange reason. I don't understand it, but I'm grateful for it. )

I totally understand where you guys are coming from! I myself have just got to the point to where I can tell my husband just about everything! I began to realize that he has seen it all! lol I used to be 330 in may of 2010 now I am 279! This weight loss is a journey and if we are not honest we will not be able to help other people through! I think we should expose the number to our loved ones so they can be there to encourage us through the tough times like when we plateau and have to be reminded how far we have come!

This has been the only place I actually will share my weight. I like you never wanted to tell my husband, then one day we were sitting on the couch I got on the Myfitnesspal app. to log in my calories, and it pulled right up to the weight screen and he saw! I was so humilliated. He was very sweet about it though!! It is hard to own upto, I was at my biggest when I started and just wanted to ball when I went to the doctors and they weighed me, being 22.5 pounds down sure makes me feel a whole lot better though. I have along ways to go still, but knowing I got through the first month of it and that I can actully do it gives me alot more confidence in myself.

i don't usually tell people my starting weight NUMBER, but i will freely tell people what i weigh now and how many pounts i've lost lol, so i guess if they do the math..... And in all reality, my "starting weight" is not my all-time-high weight anyways. Right before i delivered kiddo #2 i was just over 250... I cringed when that single-lb slide bar on the scale got moved back to zero and the 50 more lbs slide was moved over. But that was right before delivery .... I use my December 2009 weight (228) as my starting weight because thats when i started fitness walking and getting real about it all..

Sometimes i hate saying "ive lost 55 lbs and have 20 more to go" on Facebook, etc where all sorts of ppl are reading it because then its like saying "Yep, i was really that far gone" ... ulgh... there are some ppl i would prefer they DIDNT hear that i got so heavy, just that i am kicking it nowadays

I had to "hack" into my wife's profile to see how much she weighed! I think it's a woman thing! lol!

It's not necessarily that one is overweight. I am within my healthy weight range, but my weight is still my business.
