RebecaSparkles 247 Posted February 28, 2013 I had a open & honest discussion about my weight with both my dad & husband. My dad is starting to come around to not being in denial about me being 115 # overweight. I carry almost all my weight in the abdomen & have only slightly chubby arms. He keeps telling me I'm not big enough to need this even though my bmi is 41.7 & I have high BP & Pcos. My dad keeps trying to put me off by every meal we have saying by couldn't have this or that. I then explain how to modify my meal to make band friendly. My hubby is fantastic. We are working on managing his expectations but he did comment on that If I get within 20# of goal by our wedding anniversary he'll take me to a second honeymoon & " bang a baby into me" ! That was big for me to talk about my weight directly & not just as a inference. 1 kazjim98 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATX-Tess 6 Posted February 28, 2013 So great to hear these stories!!! I am back in the 260s and it has been at least 4yrs since I've been there. Just losing this first 26 lbs has been amazing. I can go up stairs without my knees hurting and my blood pressure which I'd never had a problem with is back to 118/78ish. It had started to creep in the 130/80s range at my heaviest. I need to do a better job of working out as I know that will make this journey an even better success but so far I am loving my life and looking forward to the rest of this journey. Starting size - squeezing into 24s - now 24s falling off!!! 1 dylanmiles23 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
