    I'm married and my hubby knows what I weigh. I tell him every time I step on the scale.

    No, he does not and he does not ask/bug me. I won't tell him until I am lower than his weight (he's slender) so when I am, then I'll announce it.

    I'm not sure how I feel about telling people how much I "used" to weigh, but we'll see, maybe I'll be proud and "own" it.

    my husband is the first one I tell as soon as I weigh myself... shoot he is the only one I tell! we are both trying to lose weight so I know his weight and he knows mine... in fact tomorrow is when I weigh in and he has already told me I hope it goes down so you will be in a good mood :)

    No! My SO has no idea how much I weigh!

    Only one person knows the exact number-the weight loss coach I met with a couple of times before I found this website.
    I got brave enough to tell a friend the approximate number of pounds I wanted to lose and the approximate weight I wanted to end up and her response was really kind, she suggested I focus on a interim goal, one that would get me out of a danger range and into more clothing options-like a size 12-so that the goal is less overwhelming.

    My Dad knows about my efforts and asked if I wanted to share my number-I told him that I would update him in percentage to goal achieved :-)

    For the first time in about four years, I told my husband my weight. He was SHOCKED, he thought I weighed MUCH less than that. He weighs less than me, which is why I hadn't told him. I was embarrassed. But now, whatever! He knows I'm on my way DOWN in weight, so it's all good.

    For me, once i did tell him (we have been married for over 7 years) it was like a weight off my shoulders, but it also made me responsible. He knew how much i weighed and now watches me when i weigh every week! He loves to see the number and i love the reaction i get when i lose!! He doesnt have to ask "is that good?" when the scale says a certain number! he knows!

    mine didnt for a long time (been almost 8 years now) but he never asked either. since MFP he cheers me on even when it's only .5 of a lbs and encourages me when it's a gain. i'm down enough now that i'm 15 lbs lighter than when he met me and he has been bragging at work (he says weight issues somehow came up and he mentioned mfp and how well i'm doing, didn't tell them a number just that i'm lighter than when he met and fell in love with me!) if he can see it and loves you anyway then the number shouldn't matter other than to be something to cheer you on when he see's it go down!

    Yes, I told him about 2 months into my weight loss journey, at that point we had been together 6 months I think. He was really supportive!

    We have no secrets. It's not a big deal for us - I mean, we see each other naked so what's to hide? :wink:

    Yep -- my husband is my biggest support and my biggest inspiration. He'll even do a Jillian DVD with me when I am feeling unmotivated but need (to keep up with my goals) to work out. I couldn't imagine my journey to staying healthy without him.

    Yes, my husband knows how much I weigh. I don't bother hiding it from him, but it does embarrass me that I'm slightly heavier than him even though he's much taller. Transparency is our policy on just about everything.

    I know what my wife weighs and she knows what I weigh. There have NEVER been any secrets in our relationship. If someone loves you they love you regardless of what you weigh or look like. Write your weight down.

    My husband has seen my worst weight and my current weight, Boy he's seen it all, through the good weigh in's and the bad, so why not show him a number that's steadily decreasing! lol

    My husband knows and he gets as happy as I am on my good weigh ins. I didn't think it was something to hide because he's my best friend.

    Newp. I got really really lucky and am fortunate enough to be with a man who likes me for what I am now but supports my mission to get healthier. Plus, I carry my weight pretty well and am able to fit into sizes that usually fit people who are 40lbs smaller than I am. He knows I am aiming to lose 70lbs, but he doesn't know what number that will leave me at.

    That being said, I would probably tell him if he asked. He tells me repeatedly how attractive he thinks I am and is a bigger cheerleader about my body than I am.

    Yeah. I tell him everything. Granted, no one else would know what the scale says but he is a great support system.

    I am just glad I finally weigh less than him (and my dad). No one wants to weigh more than their husband!

    Yes I tell my husband my weight regularly - sometimes I'm proud and sometimes ashamed but I don't see the point in hiding it from him, he sees me naked! :wink:

    ^ lol yep!

    My husband is a scientist, so he has a good eye for evaluating and measuring and accuracy. So, not only does he know how much I weigh, but I tell him my body fat % and stand naked in front of him asking him if he thinks that is an accurate measurement. I guess I take, "Honey, do I look fat in these jeans" to a whole other level. He said that if I really wanted, he could set up a volume dunk test and give me a fully accurate measurement (these are the kinds of things science couples do for fun). But, I am on the low end of the scale.

    My boyfriend knows my weight, bodyfat, and even more about my body sometimes than I do. Doesn't bother me. I guess it could be a way of staying on track with somebody else knowing as well.
