Getting there !

[laguerr13 993]

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks, things are hectic here at home, wife was hired for her new job and she is starting her career, halfway point to get her Masters, she will have it in September 2016, and I've given a months notice at work, my last day is December 31st, and I become a full time dad, we went on our first Christmas vacation ever to Celebrate and ended up splurging on my wife to get all her work clothes, she wanted to treat me to a night out but when I saw her I was very nervous, it was like when we first met, she looked beautiful, and she hadn't seen me in my new clothes yet, I started this journey in January @ 388lbs, my surgery was on June 10th and I weighed 342.2lbs, my Surgerversity was on December 10th, and on the 12th I weighed 267lbs, I used to be a size 60w, my new pants were a size 48w and my shirt was a 3x( now a 2x since it was loose) the pic where I'm holding our baby I was 367lbs and all subsequent pics were between 350-388lbs, so was it worth it ???? Hell yes, my other pic is my wife in her new clothes and me @ my current weight, I can see and feel a tremendous difference and it makes me wanna work even harder.......

The only word I have to tell myself everyday for the last year is "Complacency"

And thank you all very much

Congrats - sounds like you have your ducks all in a row! You have such a lovely family too!

Thank you,? I've also been fortunate enough to be offered the opportunity to retire on December 31st, my wife is starting her career and will have her Masters in September 2016, I'm devoting the first few years to raising my kids, and looking forward to spending most of my time with them, but I'm taking my life changes a step further also, I can now devote 2-3 hours at the gym, and I'm still teaching myself about food and nutrition, I may take a part time job after me and my wife settle into our new roles, but I need to be very supportive since she is a very high achiever, I also want to see about becoming an advocate for people who want this change, I was always very lax and now that I have found my momentum I need to keep it going....... I take this so serious that I'm getting this tattooed on my back this coming year, it's from "Rumi" and it has a very emotional meaning for me....

sounds like you and your wife are great mates - which is what we all need.

congrats on retiring and on her plans!

Thank you, I was shocked we got together, we are complete opposites, even the fact she's from South Africa, and blonde blue eyed........lol
