What do your husbands/wifes say?

The wife likes it I think. I don't get complements much on anything so who knows.

Hubby likes what he sees, but more importantly, he's thrilled that I've been much happier lately. I seem to talk constantly about food and exercise (and MFP) but I'm also telling him how good I feel about what I'm doing and my results and how smiley I've been lately and he LOVES that!

It also doesn't hurt that our sex life seems to have picked up a bit lately which I don't think is a coincidence!

I left my wife as my outlook on life changed and now embrace life, I'm now with someone who's like minded and a lot more fun to be with.

I lost 140lbs last year and was no longer settling for "making do" - so depending on which way you look at it, it had a positive reaction for me!

I have lost 15 lbs and my boyfriend said last night that when he hugs me I feel smaller. He also said you can tell in my shoulder area (it isn't as wide) and that my stomach is smaller! My face is also thinner too, but he didn't say anything about that until I brought it up first, lol. Let's see what he says after 20-25 more pounds!!

My wife has been with me the entire journey and has lost nearly as much weight as I have. When we started this last year it was after I asked her to help me since I knew I couldn't and wouldn't be able to do it alone. She has even taken up running with me and has run in nearly every race with me also.

My partner has always said that he loves the way I look at any weight but the other day I was changing and he just came over, kissed me, and said "have I told you how beautiful you are naked?". I'm sure some of it's just the confidence I have now but it was such a nice thing to hear.

He's never said a thing.... I gained 30 pounds after we met, I lost 70 pounds while we were together, I've gained 15 of those back. He'll eat whatever I feed him without complaint whether it's healthy and all veggies for months on end or the Chinese Buffet and pizza when I'm in "bad times" and don't want to cook - he's never showed preference to my body whether it was large or small or anywhere in between.

At times it's driven me crazy - because I wanted him to say something! I wanted him to tell me I looked good, was doing well - SOMETHING!

But you know what?? I'm kind of glad he didn't - because I know he loves me no matter what my size and will stay with me happily no matter what I look like or how I feel about myself.

(I think he realized this all along- not that he didn't want to support me, but because he feared that later on I may hold his compliments against him- and I may have! Smart man. )

...and you know what?? There's a good possibility that he REALLY just can't tell the difference- Because in the 8 years we've spent together his own weight has varied between 215-265, and I honestly couldn't tell the difference I've loved the way he looked at all times - the only way I could tell was that when we would sleep, when he was on the smaller end - my arm would hit the mattress when I put it around him instead of falling to the middle of his belly!

Mine has been awesome. I am only 12 lbs lost but he's been really great! He's runs marathons so we have been eating pretty healthy for a while, but my portion sizes were out of control.

I have lost weight before but gained it back, but now that I am running again he says he can see that old determination again

I gained 80 lbs since we first started dating. He has never treated me any differently. But he is super supportive and wants me to do this because there's a long history of heart and blood pressure issues in my family and he says he wants to grow old with me. My mom died of a heart attack at 46.

Today I was in my room getting my workout clothes on. My daughter was across the hall in her room and my husband was downstairs. My daughter yells out, "We should go to Denny's for dinner!" My husband said that was a great idea. I went downstairs in just my sports bra and workout pants to get my HRM strap. I walked in front of my husband and he yelled up, "Never mind! Your mom has been working her *kitten* off and we're not gonna sabotage her!" Then he told me I looked good. :laugh:

My husband makes comments all the time that are positive... especially when we are out in public or see his ex wife... hahahaha.

I have this body with 4 kids... she has her body with 1.

Nikki: 1 Ex Wife: 0

My husband likes to grab my waist...the other day he grabbed it and said WOW! You're gettin' skinny.

I wish I saw what he saw LOL

He also tells me how much more flexible I am. :laugh: Yea.

Let's see I have lost a total of 32 lbs over time. My husband says he really does not notice a difference because he see's me everyday. He did mention that my upper back looked smaller once when I was working out. I was thinking okkkkkkkkkkk:laugh: When our mutual friends mentioned to him that I looked great and how much I had lost then he spoke of me in a proud tone-telling how hard I workout everyday and the good healthy meals I have been making and how proud he is of me and my hard work. Made me smile that he was payin attention I know he likes the changing me because the butt grabing has gotten a little more intense around here lol. I will take the new flirty physical reaction he has shown me as a wonderful compliment. Feels like we are young newlyweds again:bigsmile:

Mine sent me a naughty text the other day telling me just how much he loves my body and how he wouldn't change one single thing about it... :blushing:

My husband is my #1 fan. He's gone all out to help me in any way he can, even if I sometimes snap at him for being too pushy. (He's always been 200-210 for his 6'2" frame, where as I've been fat my entire life!) The other day, I caught him looking at me and said, "Honey, you're staring. WHAT are you staring at?" His response was, "You. You've done so well and I'm so proud of you. I was just imagining what you'd look like with another 30lb loss. You WILL succeed in your goal to weigh less than the day we got married. I am PROUD to be your husband!!!" Awwwwwwwww......

I think he's more pleased with my happiness and confidence than anything. And that I'm more comfortable wearing less fabric... shorter shirts, skimpier bikinis, etc.

Also impressed, inspired and a little jealous of my newfound athleticism. He wants to do C25K now, too, but with a physically demanding job with long hours that beats the hell out of him, and asthma, it's slow going.

But he's not always thrilled with some of the meals I make. I've gotten much better at balancing great taste with healthier and lower sodium, but some of my early attempts were real stinkers. Like breaded chicken coated with crushed Fiber One cereal. Blandsville! But a mixture of crushed Fiber One with Panko crumbs, cornflake crumbs, or crushed low sodium pretzels.... YUM!
