    He has never asked, but I have periodically told him when he is commenting on how he can tell that I am loosing weight.

    It's just a number. I tell people I don't even know WAY more embarrassing stuff than that, so I would have no problem confessing my weight to a boyfriend/husband.

    I honestly don't think I've ever told a boyfriend how much I weighed. No need.

    I don't mind telling anyone. Some weigh more, some weigh less, so it's not a big deal. My husband knows what I weigh cuz I'm always talking about it and he always says I look good, no matter how much I weigh. I don't agree but that's kind of him.:wink:

    My boyfriend honestly doesn't care how much I weigh. He just knows when I'm exercising and happy with how I look I'm more willing to put out, haha so that's all that he cares about.

    I tell my otherhalf everything after having three children he's seen me at my worse so if he hasn't ran away yet I'm sure a number won't bother him lol

    I actually finally told my husband once I finally got serious about losing weight. It was something very personal for me and something I was extremely embarrased to tell him (or anyone!) but he is super supportive and it was actually really empowering to tell him. He's helped me along the way and shared all my triumphs with every pound I've lost. I was expecting him to react with a face or a grimace or something to the weight when I told him, but he didn't and I think that helped me more than anything, realizing that he's the one person that will never judge me no matter what! I love that man!

    I would always tell my husband "too much" when he asked my weight. Then one day he said how could he be proud of me when I tell him what I weigh (when i reach my goal) if he doesn't know where i came from. That made sense to me so I broke down and told him!! Obviously I carry my weight "well" b/c people always say, "you dont look like you weigh that much"....but that is a whole different conversation:huh:

    My boyfriend knows how much I weighed at my highest weight and my current weight. I pretty much tell him every time I weigh myself now because I'm excited to be losing. It probably depends on the couple though. We've been together 6 1/2 years, so there's really nothing we keep from each other.

    I tell everyone I meet. My guy doesn't give a care either way, my mom says (hah) 'don't get too small!', my dad doesn't seem to hear me, and passerby almost always say 'no way you weigh that much!'

    My husband is tremendously supportive but I have always chosen to not tell him. We've been together forever, since I weighed like 100 lbs, so admitting that I got up to 165ish is too much of an ego blow for me.

    In the beginning before I started to lose weight I told people I weighed something much less than I did, because well... I looked like I weighed less.

    Now... I don't care at all! I told my boyfriend of 1 year how much I weigh almost everytime I step on the scale, and everyone knows I've lost 20 pounds almost and are proud of me, not the number on the scale :D

    He's like a freakin giant next to me, I'm only 5 ft. So he's always assumed I weighed less than I actually do, and that's just because I'm short.

    Hubby and I frequently weigh in together in the morning. We workout together. We're in this together. No need to keep my weight a secret from him. As long as I never weight more than him, then we're cool. :laugh:

    I never used to (hell no!), but now I tell if it comes up. If they freak out, it wasn't meant to be.

    HECK To The NOOOOO!!! Im not even overweight and I would NEVER. He has a rough idea, I guess, but no way would I sit him down and give him the number! I am like that with everyone for the most part- I guess I am a freak like that. :o)

    My husband refused to believe I was overweight at all, much less 35 pounds overweight. I stood on the scale in front of him and said 'SEEEEEE!". He kind of harumphed and said 'Well, you look perfect to me'. :-)

    But after he saw the number and how much it upset me, he's been very supportive.

    My boyfriend honestly don't care as long as I watch what I eat and continue to work out.... He also is heading up to where I weigh so it alarming him to do what I do so he can get back into his "skinny" clothes..... Which is a motivation for me as I have a buddy that wants to look good.

    I never told mine how much I weighed either.... even wen i was prego the nurse made him go in the room wen i was weighed. I use to tell him "too much" but he likes bigger girls so he tells me im sexy no matter wat. Hes very supportive of my weight loss goals but he dnt want me to get skinny. Lol. I still havent told him how much i weigh...I just tell him how much I lose.
