telling your husbands,boyfriends how much you weigh?

NEVER!!! I won't even let my doctor weigh me...lol..seriously I have made more than one medical assistant pissed off because I refused. One person in the world knows and he is just an amazing friend I actually met on MFP so that was recent and I am quite sure he does not know anymore as my progress has changed and he sucks at math..lol....but when I was married I never told my husband, but you must understand my former husband was thin and never would understand and yes he would judge pretty sure most would, either that or it is just me judging myself, either way I must trust someone so implicitly to tell them and that is so hard to do.

He just knows when I'm exercising and happy with how I look I'm more willing to put out

This is SO true for me too!

He has asked, I think just out of curiosity. I admit to subtracting about 5 pounds off when I tell him...

My boyfriend is there for every weigh in, but that's because I usually dont believe that I have lost any weight. So he sort of proves it to me by checking my weight. LOL! I swear sometimes I think I'm fat....then he tells me to check and I'm good!

No, I don't do that. My husband is 6', about 140 and all muscle and bone--he's in great shape and has done the most he can with his skinny frame. So I outweigh him by 15 lbs on a good week (closer to 25 now due to some ill-considered choices through spring finals and vacation, though he put on a few on vacation too). He knows I weigh more than he does and when I get down a few to around 155 he usually starts heaping on compliments. After 15 years he has finally smartened up enough to keep his yap shut about my weight, unless he is saying that I am looking good after some progress, but we both know we both aren't too happy with the whole situation of my weight, and talking numbers about it with an engineer isn't gonna do anyone here any good.

Of course I tell my boyfriend. The reason why is because we are losing weight together.
Even if we would not lose weight together I would still tell him how much I weight. Wouldn't bother me at all.

Funny some say they don't and then there it is on the bottom of their signatures.

If he were computer literate , it wouldn't be there :noway:

My boyfriend never asked! He was never bothered by how much I weigh
But the other day, after I'd lost 8lbs, I asked him 'how much do you think I weigh?' and he got it spot on, first guess.
Once I weight less than him, I'll have no problem walking around in my underwear proclaiming what I weigh!

Ummm, do I have to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?? Well... if there were a reason to, or if we were seriously involved I would, I have nothing to hide... but if I had just started seeing him, probably not... unless like I said there were a reason to...

BTW, yes my husband knows. He'a a pilot and has to balance the weight in our Cessna.

Why would you assume that their significant others are on MFP ,log on and look at their account or even know they have an account on MFP? If their weight is on a signature, who is to say that their loved one sees it?
Just saying....

Exactly what I was going to say. )

Without being too specific, some responses were to the effect that they don't tell anyone and there it is on the bottom of their signature. Not passing judgement, just an observation.

It's never bothered me to tell anyone my weight or my age. It's not like if I shave 20 pounds off my weight or 20 years off my age, I'm actually going to look lighter or younger than I actually am. It would be sweet if it worked that way! :happy: That doesn't mean I haven't been bothered by my weight. I surely have. I'm actually a little perturbed with it right now.

It has been a long time since I had a boyfriend. Of course I was skinny then, so I probably didn't care. I can't imagine not telling my husband. He can see how big I am, what would it matter about the number?

Now if a guy I was seeing flat out ASKED...hmm I not sure I would tell him. That's purely because I don't think a guy should ask a girl how much she weighs (unless that happens to be what you're talking about). Beyond that, yeah I would have no problem tell someone how much I weigh. Actually it does sometimes come up b/c people want to know how much my dog weighs..LOL..which is only a little less than what I weigh!

If you had asked me a few years back tho...the answer totally would have been no!!

He knew/knows. He'd seen me naked 1000s of times, it's not like he didn't know I'd gained weight. Was it a bit embarrassing to admit to my hubby who's a foot taller than me that I weighed more than him? Sure was. But you can bet he helped me celebrate the day I stepped on the scale & weighed less than him!

I tell no one how much I weigh, but I will tell anyone how much I have lost. I just won't say what my goal weight is or how much my current weight is so there is only one part of the equation...I am sure deductive reasoning and all one could take an educated guess and that is fine, but as to specifics, not a chance.

I think that maybe the point was more that they go out of their way to NOT tell their significant other, but have no problem telling strangers on a website?

Anyyyyyyyyyyyyways, I tell my husband absolutely everything, so he knows how much my starting weight was and how much I weigh now. For a while he didn't know, but that was strictly because *I* didn't know how much I weighed! Once I finally got around to weighing myself, he knew. I think I've always been heavier than him... even when we started dating back in high school, he was super skinny and we may have weighed the same, but I quickly gained weight from there. He has gained a bit over the years too, but this is the first time EVER that I have weighed less than him... it was even one of my major goals! And I always used to tell him how close I was to weighing less than him. Now I've weighed less than him for a while... and every time I hit a new low weight I immediately call him at work to say "guess what?! guess how much I weigh??" :laugh: He's amazingly supportive and so happy for me and proud of me.

Not only that, but at this point, I'll tell ANYONE. I have no shame in the fact that I used to weigh so much because I've worked incredibly hard to lose it and get to where I am at now! I don't go around just telling people how much I weigh, but if it comes up in conversation, I have no problem giving anybody the numbers. I even got on a scale in front of two of my friends a few weeks ago, after they did it, even though they both weighed less than me. I'm PROUD of how far I have come and I will share it with anybody who wants to hear it, LOL.

And on the same note, I wouldn't be offended at all if somebody came out and asked me my weight or my starting weight. My brother was visiting and I wanted him to try and pick me up (since that was never an option before) and he asked me how much I weighed, and I told him (and my cousin, who was there too), without hesitation, even though they are both tremendously fit and have ridiculously low body fat percentages (and I am definitely not there yet!).

It is really quite freeing!
