Does your spouse know how much you weigh??

My husband knows how much I weigh. He supportive of me no matter what whether I happy with being majorly over weight or unhappy with it. If he knows what your working on number wise he may want to help or keep you motivated. A good partner takes your challenges on with you.

My husband knows exactly how much I weigh. He's 6'5 and in the Air Force so he's in shape. I'm 6' and just hit 289. He always tells me I look like I weigh so much less and helps me with my work out goals and food choices. At first I didn't want to tell him, but my husband and I have the relationship where nothing is held back.

Nope. He has never known how much I weigh. He still thinks I wear the same size I wore when we met or so many pounds ago. Rose colored glasses I suppose.

My hubby is supportive but he doesn't know my exact weight. I've raised my boys to never do two things....Ask a woman her age or weight. LOL:blushing:

I'm with you Eava57!!

I completely relate to how you feel. I don't like to share my weight with my husband, but he's smart enough not to ask me. haha I'm sure he knows cuz we have one of those scales that records weight, but then again I don't think he really cares all that much. But I really don't like it when he tries to pick me up. He says that I'm light, but I am no where near light. He might ask me things like what size clothes I wear cuz he wants to buy me clothes or something and I still refuse to tell him. I shouldn't feel embarassed about my weight with my husband. He knows everything there is to know about me, but for me personally, I carry a lot of shame with my weight so I'm ashamed to share anything about it.

Mine knows but not because he wants to. I tell him just to give myself a loud reminder that I need to fix it. I don'thave major support at home. Well, I do from my kids. He loves me no matter my size apparantly lol. He's proud when I tell him what I accomplish, but he doesn't really ever ask me about any of it. I recently started walking and running. I have to tell him to tell me I did good sometimes. It's really aggrivating, but I know that when it's all said and done I did it for me and not for him anyway. I have you all and others that encourage me and motivate me to do well. You make up for what he doesn't do lol

My husband sure does. He's the most supportive man ever, though.
He's a bit of a midget - short, but still taller than my 5 foot 2, and thin. He's always been a good deal lighter than my weight. (He was underweight for a good deal of time, too.)

But he's never ever commented on my weight. Only the comments like, "Wow, you've lost weight baby." And tells me where the loss is showing. And the daily, "You're so beautiful."

My boyfriend knows how much I weigh. He is so so supportive. It's wonderful having him there. I weigh myself in front of him, so we're very comfortable together. He's such a motivator. He's a little bigger guy too. He's my support system & here the whole way through this life time change!

I used to keep my weight very much so on the down low with my husband. But I've come to a point where now I do not care because I know I will NOT be that weight forever. Letting him know my weight makes him a part of my journey and makes it easier for him to support me. Mind you...my husband is in the army and very fit. I have been heavier than him now since we had our son 2 years ago. My husband comes home this month and i've talked to him by phone about my success and fails along the way. He weighed the other day and to my suprise...we are close in weight now. Of course i'm all fat and he's all muscle...but still....it is SOOO important to me that my number on the scale is less than his. I'm the women...so I feel ungirly in a sense being heavier than him. Almost like i'm not worthy of being treated like a sexy wife by him. My confidence will boost way up once I weigh less than him. Even though I will still have a far way to go! But now that i've let myself get out of that comfort zone I must say it is very very nice having that bond with my husband and sharing this life changing journey with him. I vowed to share my life with him, and this is a big part of my life that he wants to be in...and deserves to be in!! Not to mention...it keeps you going because it kinda sucks to slip up when your hubby knows your weight :laugh: But your hubby knowing your weight and if you slip up...means that you have a support system to get you back on track!!

My husband knows and supports me, after my weight in last Sunday I said, "no loss today" he replied "why?" lol

Noooooooooooooooo they dont need to no what u weight, just tell him how much ur loseing thats all he needs to no. good luck with ur weight loss.

He doesn't know *exactly*. Even if I told him, he'd forget straight away....... If he tells me I'm fat (5'5 & 138lbs), I just tell him how much I've lost...but I don't think he takes much notice.

Good luck to everybody!

My boyfriend measured my bodyfat with calipers once. It was embarrassing, but I just thought, well, he's not going to find me less attractive just because he knows the numbers.

My husband does not know how much I weigh. He never has, even when it was 115 pounds and I was 5'7". I met him around that weight. I was not eating because I was in college (18 years old) and disliked going to the dining hall. I married him around 130 (25 years) pounds and hit 160 (27 years). He once mentioned to his buddies, "I didn't mary that." Since then I haven't felt the need to tell him as he can clearly tell. He is very supportive..maybe over-supportive and I only feel comfortable telling him how much I lost.

That had to hurt. I'm sorry you heard that from him.

Having read this whole thread, I have to say that your partner should know everything about you. How can he help you, understand you, encourage you, and support you if he has no clue what you weigh and what you think of your weight.

It's obvious your men know what you look like. Guess what, they're still here. Knowing the number isn't going to change that. Especially when they see your hard work and food choices and understand why.

At the end of the day it's your journey. I just can't see passing up on the person who should be / could be your biggest fan.

Be great, people. It's in you.
