    I'm lucky that I married my husband weighing over 300 so I know he loves me no matter the weight! I'm also lucky we are doing this together. He has lost 50+ lbs and I have 30+lbs. We are both encouraging each other and noticing each others changes. I was absolutely fascinated yesterday with his much small neck. :love:

    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.

    It's been so gradual he really hardly notices I've lost 40 pounds in 9 months. There's never been a "WOAH"moment for him... I hoped there would be, but it's a good thing I guess! He says he didn't notice I was really that much bigger. He's used MFP with me and has gone from 250 to 200 in 3-4 months. So when I go to put my arms around him it still shocks me that I can actually do it! I'm still trying to get used to the idea that I can easily put my arms around him, but I'm really starting to like it! With me, his attraction/compliments/observations have been nonexistent though...

    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:wink: 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:

    My husband is fantastic! I've made no secret of wanting to do this and he has supported me in every way - his only concern is that I will get too skinny, as he doesn't like super skinny body shapes.

    He keeps complimenting me, and says that he needs my motivation (he talks about the exercise he is going to do, but will only do it once or twice). He is not overweight however.

    I actually find the compliments from others are more satisfying - more because they don't see my in the nude, or everyday either.

    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 don't really care what he thinks, He vowed to love me for better or worst same as I did him (fat or thin). This is all about me and I feel better and I am more comfortable thin. And when I feel good about myself , he gets a better wife. So it works out for him also.
    But this has to be about me for me to be sucessful.

    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. :wink:

    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!

    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.

    Now that is a compliment! - Great work!

    I've lost about 30 pounds and my husband has been very supportive. He tells me I am doing well and how good I look. Today he hugged me and said that I felt so small in his arms. It feels great, and yes there have been improvements. I ger depressed and lazy when I gain weight and much happier when I lose it.

    I love this because it's so true. It HAS to be about me, for me to do this...period!!! My 7 year relationship ended because he said I don't need him anymore. Funny thing is I never needed him..I wanted him in my life and to share this. So now I will someday meet someone who wants me in their life.

    I just had a baby 8 weeks ago, I've lost 25 pounds since I got home from the hospital, but I still have about 85 more to go, it'll be a while before my husband notices the loss, but he's supportive of helping me lose the weight :)

    All of you who have supportive spouses are very lucky. My husband goes back and forth between support and sabotage - support because he likes the way my body looks, but sabotage because he's terrified that I'm going to suggest that he change the way he eats and get some exercise. *Sigh* I didn't expect the sabotage, and it's been disappointing. When I'm hungry and we're discussing dinner options, fast food supreme pizza should not be the choice he pushes.

    My husband is all of over me!! It's like fighting off an octopus! He has supported me the entire process...from the crying fits of frustration to the cheering, high five moments of scale weigh-ins. He never once said anything to me during my ups and downs of weight gains and losses over the years. I couldn't ask for more support. When I have days of feeling that I'm not doing well he tells me that he wishes I could see through his eyes and see just how beautiful I am. I can do so much more now so we are out riding our bikes, hiking and recently I started a running clinic and he comes out with me as much as he can for support.
    I feel less moody and tired and I was so angry with myself before as I allowed my body to go this way. Now I feel like the old me is coming back and it has made a difference for the whole family. I want all of us to be healthy and active. It's fun to challenge each other and see what we are all capable of!

    My wife says i am geting too skinny. She has a rockin body at 33 and after 3 kids. I dont care because i am doing it for my health and the job.

    When you are in emergency services any weight you lose, is less you have to carry around including your tools, and seconds can mean saving lives.

    So i'll keep trucking on because the other ladies are always watching! LOL!

    He was sort of iffy on the support until I came home from college for the summer and he saw the new and improved body. :laugh:

    The next day we found an affordable gym and he joined up with me. :smile: I've never had a workout buddy before and he's been the best. He comes with me as much as he can; usually 5 days a week compared to my 6, but not complaining there. He even started Couch to 5K.

    And he certainly doesn't complain about my newfound incredible flexibility. :blushing:
