I was keeping it from him for the last several months since I started my weight loss journey. I would weigh myself and say I lost x amount versus I now weigh x amount. He and I were watching the biggest loser finale a couple of weeks ago and he made a remark to the fact "see you do not have as much to lose as them. That should make you feel better." I just stared at him for like a full minute until he started to get a little creeped out. I finally said "I weigh 245 pounds and when I started I weighed 280." He was literally stunned into silence. I started to cry because I thought oh my God he is disgusted, but then he says " I am so proud of you for doing this and taking charge." I truly feel so free since he knows the truth and now I feel like this stigma is slowly starting to go away.

Your husband sounds like a wonderful man and you trusted him enough to tell him something that is very often kept a secret in marriages. You were so brave to do that and it can only strengthen your marriage. Now you will really have his support because he knows how hard you are working to lose weight and how far you have already come. Bravo!

You just brought a tear to my eye. Great job! And...yes...great man for that support and love. So totally awesome! I wish we were all so blessed.

Yea for you, what a great hubby, and congrats on your loss!

Congratulations on your loss, and on your courage. It can be scary enough admitting the number on the scale to yourself. Bringing someone else into the world of people who know that number can be very scary, and I'm glad you found a receptive ear.

Your husband sounds like a wonderful person. You are a far braver person than I. My boyfriend asked me how much I wanted to lose the other day, 40 or 50 pounds, and I looked at him like he was crazy. I just replied a little more than that XD.

Yes, how brave. I only have one person that I tell my weight to, and it is not my sweetie!

Wow! I bow to your self-confidence!

You made me cry....darn it.

My husband knows approximately what I weigh because of a plan we were on together a few months back, but I've never out right told him. I remember the day my BFF and I were making our wii characters for the Biggest Loser game and had to put in our weights....ugh. We talk about everything...and are very similar in size and weight....we'd say I lost so many pounds but NEVER said how much we actually weighed to each other. Honestly, that is one of the big reasons I love this forum....my number is out there for all to see and it makes me accountable! None of you are judging me, just encouraging. I'm so proud of you for putting yourself out there with your husband! That took courage!

I bow to you, as I have never had the nerve to tell my DH. He loves me unconditionally, and shares his weight with me, which is overweight, but not to my extreme. I just can't bring seem to do it. Kudos to you!

You made me cry....darn it.

Nice to see that I was not the only one to shed a tear when I read this post
What can I say... I am an emotional person

And to the OP, your hubby sounds great!! Very supportive. And way to go on the weight loss hun!!

I know how you feel, the number is so hard to share. Good for you.

That is amazing, both your loss and your husband's sweet support. I'm so glad you told him and he responded well! Bravo to you both!

aww, i'm crying. I'm so glad that he is so supportive. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!

That is wonderful! Congrats!! It is truly freeing to have him know the truth. I was there and had to make that decision, too. I have since posted it on my blog so EVERYONE knows. It is rather freeing. Yes, it is embarrassing that everyone knows how much I weigh, but it is fantastic that everyone knows how much I have lost!
