    He's heard it every time we go to the doctor yet I highly doubt he could repeat it back to me.

    My husband knows mine and I know his. If I don't tell him he'll just guess it to be at a higher number!!

    Once he realized I was making weight loss and fitness a serious focus too ( in the past he has been much more into exercise than myself), he asked me if it was bad etiquette to ask how much I weighed and what my weight loss goals were.

    After a minute or so of thought, I decided I didn't mind sharing. A couple days later, he presented me with a new app for my IPad: My Fitness Pal.

    And so here I am. And glad I told him. :)

    If I know, he knows.
    For the past months I refused to get on the scales, so I just guestimated. I didn't tell him that, I was too ashamed. But now he knows. He asks me carefully, and never judges me. But yeah, he is also one of those skinny guys (he has to eat and eat and eat to not slip into an underweight-BMI), so it is hard.

    I'm single now, but I've never hid my weight from a boyfriend, and I don't have a problem telling my friends either.

    Yup, he never hears the end of it!

    "Damn, I'm up five lbs from my lowest!"..."Yeah, but you've still lost 50lbs from your highest!"..."IT DOESN'T MATTER, I'm still 15lbs from my goal weight!" :laugh:

    He is very supportive but always says that the number on the scale doesn't affect what I look like and doesn't make me any more or any less attractive...he says I'm perfect nomatter what shape or size...but then, he HAS to say that, doesn't he :wink: But I love him nomatter what weight he is, so I really should just shut up and listen to him :happy:

    I keep it from my family! I HATE it and find it so embarrassing when family OR friends come around to scrutinize my exercise plans and eating habits. I have two calenders one that I keep stashed and keep personal things in, out of embarrassment more than anything to hide. It's too close to home right now, but when I lose more weight I'll probably feel less self conscious about it. My boyfriend is extremely understanding and knowing that he would never judge makes me feel secure but doesn't change the fact I want to keep it to myself. Later on maybe :)

    Oh yes he knows everything, my start weight, my goal weight, my measurements... every inch lost or every pound lost he's there to celebrate it with me. He's my biggest source of support.

    It's good to be open about it, that way he can support me much better in terms of what we eat, when we train etc.

    I see no point in doing this "secretly". If I secretly lost a load of weight he's probably worry and think I was ill or something.

    Now he does. Before I lost the weight he didn't know the exact number. That was between me, God and my doctor.

    Haha, that's how I felt. Recently, though, I finally admitted my highest weight at 346lbs to him, and he really didn't care.

    He fell in love with me at 250, stayed in love with me up to almost 350, and loves me just the same at 221. I have never felt so comfortable with someone in my entire life. My own family doesn't even know my heaviest weight, and LOL I will never tell!!! They can speculate all they want.

    To the OP though, honey, he has been with you 8 years. He loves you, and truly doesn't care. What you say now won't change the fact that he has loved you through all your weight changes. Any man worth his salt won't care if you tell or not. My boyfriend had asked how much I weighed, and how much I lost.... but I wouldn't tell him for the longest time. He told me it didn't matter, and dropped it. I was the one to bring it up again much later when I felt comfortable, and it feels great to be able to tell someone without shame "I weighed almost 350lbs... and I have lost over 100lbs so far and I couldn't do it without you". Seriously, no shame, feels amazing. Lol, you know what he said? "Oh, well I'm so proud of you" gave me a kiss on the forehead and that's all there has been said about that.

    You might be surprised how good it feels to open up to him, even if you don't to anyone else.

    Of course my SO knows my weight! We share everything and he is determined to help me succeed in any way possible. I guess it doesn't make me feel that bad that I weigh close to 260 because I don't look like I weigh that much. I will never weigh less than him and I know that, bc he's shorter and built smaller than I am, and I am ok with that! He loves me big and he'll love me small but warns me to not get to small lol

    I am always telling my husband my weight. Any time it goes down I can't wait to tell him to have him let me know how proud he is of me. Men aren't stupid they have some idea what your weight is even if you don't tell them. I have no secrets from my husband.

    hell no . . . he knows approximately what I weigh but not the exact number . . . he does know my bf% . . . he knows my pnats size and how far I've come, but not the damn # on the scale

    On a side note . . . I have a really close friend (male) who guesses my weight spot on. Out of the blue he will say, "Looks like you lost 2-3lbs, so that makes you about ____." Its amazing how damn accurate he can be- maybe because he's a military guy?

    I only told my husband how much I weighed last week when I was down 16 pounds. I still was uncomfortable telling him even though I knew he wouldn't care, but I was just so ashamed of the number. Sure enough though, he didn't care.

    Yes. When I started this journey I needed his full support and I had to open his eyes. He still saw me at the weight I was 9 years ago (260 now I am 380) and once I told him it was so freeing. He still loves me and lusts after me the same. I was worried he wouldn't. How silly of me.

    Heck no! But he has tried to guess, and he's actually pretty close...I neither deny nor confirm He says he needs to know how much I weigh so he knows if he can carry me a distance should an emergency come up! I guess if he thinks he can/t then he needs to come up with a plan B! LOL!

    Yep. My DH met me at 185, after 2 babies and not much physical activity I was closing in on 250. He loves me no matter how many pounds or inches there are. I'm almost back to 200 and he says my butt is rounder than it use to be, which means he is looking at my butt and that makes me smile.

    Yes he does. We are very honest in our marriage. My husband is very fit. He is an avid road cyclist. His ultimate goal...The tour de france. Oh how i wish i had his endurance and determination. He is supportive of me in every aspect though.

    I don't think he knows the ACTUAL number but I know he has a general idea. He doesn't care.

    My husband knows. We've been married for... almost 8 years now, and for most of them, he had no idea. He saw the weight go up and down, but a number... eff that. I wasn't telling. Now that I'm seriously trying and keeping track of everything, I told him. My goal is 100 lbs in a year, so he's around to keep me motivated.

    We've been married 18 years, and he watched me get this fat, so the number doesn't mean much, but yeah I told him. I tell him everything.

    I told my boyfriend at the beginning of our relationship, also i told him when i gained a few pounds. I dont see a point of keeping it a secret. He's not blind =)
