How Did Your Husband or Boyfriend React?

Since January, I finally lost my baby weight and am down to where I was prior to having Baby #2 (which is about 10 lbs less than prior to having Baby #1). I really don't think that my husband has noticed. He treats me just the same. I didn't do it for him though, I did it for me. And becuase of that, I feel more attractive and confident and don't get all depressed and degrade myself....which he thinks is 'sexy'.

I've been as low as 200 lbs. and as high as 375 lbs. over the course of my relationship with my husband. I got lap-band last year and have lost 67 pounds, and still going strong. My husband doesn't treat me any different whether I'm bigger or smaller. However, I am much more confident now than I was at 375, so it makes our relationship better. He's pretty much awesome. :)

Of course my husband was supportive and gave tons of positive verbal feedback, but he assured me that he loved me no matter how I looked. What was more important to him was that I felt great about myself. He was never jealous; he was more proud because he could walk around with me and be like, "Yeah that's right, that's MY woman!"

If I were to put it all back on, he would still feel the same way.

When I first started losing weight (approx 10 yrs ago), my husband completely sabotaged me. He would buy my favorite ice cream, make delicious full-fat dinners, buy donuts - you name it - anything to derail my diet. My weight would yo-yo and I was so frustrated. I finally talked to him about his sabotage and he broke down. His first wife had gone on a "health kick," lost a bunch of weight and fell in love with someone else. He was afraid I would do the same thing. We worked it out, and I lost 40 lbs with his support. Still not at my ideal weight, but that's okay.

We do more things together and he gives me compliments. I compliment him too. He's never had a weight problem, but he's toned up a bit. He even bought me a really nice bike this Spring (since I have OA and cannot run at all - even walking hurts if I do it too much). We ride together and as a family. He finally gets that I want to be healthy and with him.

My husband was very supportive when I was working to get back in shape. He made sure I had time every day to exercise and didn't get a 'tude when dinner started getting smaller and lighter (in fact he liked that). He even let me model my new "slim" clothing for him... which actually ended well for him (a little reinforcement never hurts)!

Good luck!

My loved it. Although he did not mind a few extra pounds on either. Married
36 years and everyday he still tells me I am sexy and he loves me. I am
very lucky!

I am currently trying to loose weight. I have PCOS so it's not going to be easy for me to drop it. My husband is so bad at not eating junk. If he wants to have a pop and candybar at work on his break, then by all means do it. But not infront of me. Don't come home (like this morning) with McDonalds breakfast for the entire family. He means well, he really does. His feelings get so hurt when I say I can't/won't eat that. I can' trust him to go to the grocery and not come home with junk either. We are working on this...because he needs to loose a few too but has ZERO will power. Last night while I was eating mixed veggies and grilled chicken for dinner he ordered himself in mexican. My favorite. :(

I recently lost 25 lbs, my husband keeps asking the kids "where they put part on their mother"lol....hes silly

He also cant keep his hands off the new toned legs.

i just joined weight watchers and my hubby's been very supportive. he tries to eat the junk out of my line of vision. recently he went to in and out and asked if he should eat at the restaurant or eat at home. i said eat there, he went thru drive thru adn ate in the car w. the windows open so it wouldnt' smell like hamburgers and tempt me. lol.

When my man and I firt got together, I lost the 50lbs I had been holding on to, it was amazing, he was super supportive, esp when he had to add a hole to my ony belt to hold up my jeans that fresh out of the dryer were too loose but fit a week ago so we could go out! Then I had a back injury and gained it all back due to the seroids and lack of movement... then I got pregnant and well gained even more, he took it all in stride, not really caring too much. I worked on weight loss again and did well, again super supportive and proud then it all came rushing back! Working on it again as we speak ... this time he is talking about it less and just waiting for results.

My husband was def more protective, I wouldnt go as far to say jealous. I wouldnt say he was more attentive. He is now that I just had a baby, and trust me, Im not where I want to be weight wise. Now that I think of it, he really doesnt treat me differently whether im skinny or not. He always wants me. Aw, I love him.

I have about 40 lbs to lose and recently started South Beach and am in my 4th week. Just in the last month it has really helped to change my eating habits, and I am not craving the bad stuff as much anymore. I have lost about 8 lbs so far (diet only no exercise, which exercise starts this week). He has always wanted me to get back to pre-kids weight, and In the past he was never very supportive when I attempted. But lately since I have proven that I am sticking to something he has been pretty supportive. He actually even told me I looked sexy the other night. Nice to hear when I haven't felt that great about my body since having my last child 2 years ago. I am hoping as the weight drops that I continue to feel better and he continues to encourage and support me.

My husand wasn't supportive initially - I have very weak will power and he wasn't helping it with the food he brought home. He wasn't doing it intentionally and after talking to him about it, he got much better. Now that I'm down 36 lbs, he's definitely more attentive sexually (not that he didn't have a high drive before, but he tends to hit on me whenever he sees me now).
