My boyfriend also deserves props. When we started dating about 2.5 years ago, I was 30 pounds heavier. I started losing weight a few months after meeting him and he's been nothing but supportive. He's never pushed, never been negative about how I look. He's very positive about my body, and as a consequence, I'm comfortable and positive about it when he's around!
He's seen my weight loss attempt be a roller coaster--I'm currently 9 pounds heavier than I was in June, on my way back down "for the last time" (for the 100th time) and he's still supportive of me. I sometimes think that people I know think that I'm never going to reach my goals (even though they say I look fantastic now), even if they don't say so. But, this time I'm going to do it...no more wasting time, y'know?
Anyway, I got off-topic. Huzzah for awesome boyfriends!
