    My boyfriend knows, but he doesn't care. He only gets annoyed when I talk about calories ... but it doesn't matter to him, because he's trying to gain weight.

    "For those who understand no explanation is needed, ...For those who don't none will do". - Jerry Lewis

    Living for a spouse/friend/Significant other that does not embrace your 'life' plan is no way to live.

    Life is too short to:

    Drink bad coffee
    Put up with controlling people
    Wait for tomorrow

    AGREE!!!!

    My husband knows. But he's jealous of my phone in general. lol If I'm on it, its either text messaging, FB or MFP. Drives him insane.

    my husband too. Throws a FIT if I'm on my phone or internet and he's around. always tells me I'm talking to my boyfriends :(

    I'm a closet MFP'er..husband has no idea this board even exists..Don't want him to see the acutal "numbers" I've so honestly posted on here..Crazy thing is he's my biggest support for the most part.

    The wife and I signed up with MFP together, we both have an account, and log our food and exercise daily. We generally log using the phone app. I enjoy the website as well for the forums and for getting ideas and so forth. She doesn't use the website like I do but doesn't mind that I do. I find MFP to be a better use of my time than Facebook. I can come on here and get ideas, share ideas, research different workouts, equipment, foods, etc. Its nice to come to a place where people are working towards a common goal.

    My boyfriend knows that I've lost weight, but I was only about 5 lbs heavier when we started dating. He knows that I use a website to count calories, but he doesn't quite know what MFP is.

    We haven't been together long, so I've been trying to avoid the "I used to be fat" thing.

    I walk about MFP all the time. He does not have an issue with it whatsoever. But he spends most of his free time playing Scrable online so he can hardly say boo about what I do.

    Mine is a member here as well, not very active, but a member. We read each other posts we find interesting or amusing, compare food diaries to make sure we're both logging the same dinner (do you KNOW how many entries there are int he food library for ribeye steak???).

    We work out together every day and pretty much talk about everything, so this site, no big deal to us.

    We both have accounts, although he doesn't post or anything. We just use it to track for him, and quite often I will log his meals since we pack breakfast and and lunch. It is a joint effort to change our habits :)

    My hubby knows I'm on this site, he actually asked me last night what I was doing and I said "updating my profile" and he laughed and just went about his business. He knows that I've lost a tremendous amount of weight on here and also joined a few months back. However he hasnt logged in about 3 months lol. He doesnt need to lose any weight or else we'll be competing here haha:laugh:

    Anyhow usually when a spouse feels that way theres some sort of insecurity issues. I would just talk to him about it and see why it bothers him. Good luck on your journey :flowerforyou:

    My ex hated the internet...he would not have anything to do with it! So no he didn't know anything about MFP because the word INTERNET or anything associated with it was not ever brought up when he was around! I even had to delete all his family and friends from my FB account because they would read something on there I posted and mention it to him and he would go ballistic!!

    He knows, and he actually has an account, but never uses it. If anything, HE'S the one that has another wife and child; his XBOX 360. Sigh.
