    I've mentioned it to him, but it's not a big deal. In the same way I don't care what he weighs. He sees me every day, he can tell if I've got fat by looking at me! But it's never bothered him. The only time I've ever had anything remotely negative about my weight from him was while I was pregnant, and that was purely because he was concerned about the baby's and my health.

    Yep, my hubbie knows as I'm in full view naked on the scale, not a big deal at all, don't care what anyone thinks though anyway but he is supportive no matter what :)

    I think it is weird that you put so much importance on the number...and odd that you can't share something/anything with a person that you have been married to for 13 years. [/quote]

    I share absolutely everything with him except my weight. And honestly, no one but my doctors know my weight. It's something I've been ashamed of for a while now, so I guess it's just turned into my dirty little secret. That's why I was asking on here how everyone else deals with it.

    I really don't think it's a big deal. Try not to overthink.

    I try not to mention it. he is happy I have lost some weight
    he is of the belief that I need to go to the gym and to cut sugar out of my diet(daily intake) to lose weight

    The husband and I are each others cheerleaders so we know each others weights.

    I don't go advertising my weight to my fiancé LOL but I have mentioned to him what it was to him a few times.

    He thinks I'm hot as hell ALL the time (not even joking.... I think he's nuts)...so I really don't care if he knows what I weigh.

    Why wouldn't he? He's my husband. Heck, just for medical emergencies I think it's something he needs to know. If he loves you for you, $%&* a stupid number that doesn't mean anything. I know what he weighs. We're working on it together.

    Tell him while you are naked. If your man if anything like mine, he didn't hear a damn word you said and when he chases you around the room.... you can pretty sure the number on the scale doesn't mean much to him either.

    46 pounds! Go you!

    My hubby knows every pound. I know his too. I'm not a fan of secrets, so we're pretty open. Even if he didn't know, if he asked, I'd tell him. He knows what size I wear too.

    When I gained weight I was a little embarrassed-but shared anyway. Now I love telling the BF when be scale goes down. (Or moan and groan when it goes up). My guess would be that he would be thinking "holy *kitten*" about the loss-not be original number.

    Weight loss is freakin hard. It takes a lot of determination. Be proud of your numbers.

    I tell him how much I lost, but I never hide the number. Yesterday he pat his lap for me to sit while we looked at our wedding pics on the computer. I said I'd break his leg and he asked me how much I weigh. Then he laughed at me and said he'd be fine.

    No and we've been married 15 years. He knows everything except my weight. I'm embarrassed that I've gained almost 1/2 of what I weighed when we got together

    No. I've been married 30 years and I have never told him how much I've weighed. I tell him now how much I weighed when we were married, how much I gained during each pregnancy. I lost pregnancy weight after each pregnancy, thankfully. But my baby is 21 and I had gained quite a bit due to too much food and not enough exercise. So he knows how much I've lost this tme and about how much more I would like to lose, but I do not tell him what my goal weight is; however, I don't mind telling home my size! Weird, huh?

    He knows how it bothers me so he doesn't ask my weight, but he has said he could guess it. Don't want to know his guess

    he knows everything about me. id never feel weird about telling him how much i weigh when he can literally grab the chub on my hips haha. 134 means absolutely nothing to him. me being healthy means something to him.

    Sure why not? He can tell by looking at me that I don't weight 120lb. He loves me, including my wobbly bits and won't think any less of me just because of a number on the scales.

    My husband and I share everything. Even things that we should probably keep to ourselves.

    I mean, we are talking about a guy that put his car window down on our first date when I was driving. When I told him he could put the air on if he was hot, he said "This is actually for you." Then he totally let one rip. Yeah, and I married it cause I have the sense of humor of a 10 year old boy.

    It worked out ok since 9 years later it's us and our 2 boys. I've grown accustomed to knowing everything and him knowing everything. Kind of like that scene in "This is 40." You know the one where Paul Rudd wants his wife to look at a weird bump on his *kitten*.
