He knows within +/-3lbs. I don't check my weight regularly so his guess would be as good as mine honestly. I don't know how long we were together before the subject came up. Probably a few months.

We've always been about 20 lbs difference from each other, even when we were both super skinny. I'm also obsessive about the number at times, so he's heard me complain.
Hahahahahaha, no. Obviously, we all know it's too much, especially after this weekend. lol
I've told the story about how I lied about my weight on our honeymoon before, but it's a good one. We were in the car and I was on the phone scheduling the hot air balloon ride, I was caught off guard when they asked for our weights. I lied by like 50 pounds, then snuck away, called the lady back and told her the truth. I didn't want to be the cause of a crash. LOL. I envisioned the balloon rapidly going down in my corner and everyone yelling at me.
omg dying. I keep convulsing to stay silent since the baby is finally almost asleep.
Yes, he knows. I'm in the process of trying to lose weight and he's been my gym/walking partner so I tell him generally what my weight loss goals for the week are and then apprise him of my progress. He's really supportive so I'm not embarrassed about it at all.

He only knows right now because he goes to my OB appointments with me. He records my weight in his notes (along with BP and stuff). When we aren't going through a pregnancy I don't keep him informed and he would only have a general idea.
While he is trying to lose weight he usually will tell me when he reaches a new milestone.
I am surprised that some states put your weight on your license!
My state does this. I vividly remember getting my license at 16 and being called out by my "friend" for lying about my weight on it. And for the record she was the type of friend who always reminded you of how great she was and what a loser you were. But I'm not bitter.
I bet if they checked only like 3% would actually be the correct weight. It's pointless. I actually think I'll go write my governor a letter about this. Now that same sex marriage and affordable health care are settled I'm sure they need a new platform.
Story: Once I was asked my weight prior to flying out on an airplane. They needed to know so they knew the amount of weight that was being flown out. Since I didn't want to potentially cause a plane crash because I was dishonest about my weight, I told the flight guys what it was. Then I said "I don't care if you guys know how much I weigh since I can't change what it is this minute." One of the guys piped up: "To be honest, I don't even know what my own wife weighs!"

Your bigger problem is that he was silly enough to even ask. Are you his first girlfriend?
DH probably knows how much I weigh, we share a scale and my weight is stored on it. But he knows better than to ask. I am getting all twitchy about the husband who logs his wife's weight and blood pressure.
I only know my own weight in general terms, not to the pound or anything. DH knows a range, but really only because I would talk about it during and after pregnancy. It's not a topic we talk about a lot, but not trying to hide anything.
Oh and Vicky, he was probably just being dopey. You don't have to tell him and you don't have to feel bad about it, but I'm sure he thinks you look great.

My boyfriend and I were just having a conversation about weight in general and he took it upon himself to guess my weight. Whether he lied or he's just clueless, he guessed 30lbs lower. God bless that man. When I was pregnant with DS I wouldn't let my ex-h in the same room as the scale at my ob visits. This could be because he's 6'2" and weighed 145lbs.
