Oh, Renewed.......I know that makes you feel so good! I don't blame you for cying....I almost cried too, it's soooo sweet. You must be doing an awesome job at getting healthy if your 9 year old son is noticing all your hard work. I feel exactly the same way you do, I can't wait to get to goal and can't even imagine what life is going to be like. That's a great NSV for you, WTG and thanks for sharing!

PS: I posted this on the other thread too, I'm just so excited for you!

I've been needing a kick in pants to keep me focused on my goal. My dh was already in bed when Dalton brought it to me. I can't wait to show him in the morning. Dalton also told me the other day that I have lost enough weight. "Now we fit in the big chair together perfect for snuggling. If you lose more weight their will be too much extra room in the chair." He cracks me up. I told him that we can get an extra blanket. I am partial, but he is the sweetest little guy. DH and I are so blessed.

Renewedhope/Amy- which one do you prefer to be called, or does it matter?

That is sooo sweet. I know you are proud to have such a sweet boy. How did your dh react to the picture?

[renewedhope 4]

He thought it was great!! You can call me renewed or Amy, doesn't matter at all to me. How about you, Georgia or Pamela??? I am still very tight since my last fill. Didn't weigh this morning. I am trying to stay off of the scales so much. I usually weigh several times a day. right now I am shooteing for every other morning. How are you doing??

[georgia girl 35]

Renewed, it really doesn't matter what you call me either, most call me georgia, but whichever. For some reason it's easier for me to call people by their screen names, maybe because it's a bigger font and more noticeable.

I know what you mean about the scales, it seems like I'm getting addicted to weighing, wow....that sounds weird to say! I usually weigh every morning and sometimes I weigh at night just to see what the difference is. Lately I've been losing about a pound a day. It worries me because last time that happened, I ended up plateauing for about a month. I think this last fill has helped a lot, and I hope it lasts. I've noticed in the past couple of days I've started getting a little more hungry, but it's manageable. I'm just trying to make the best possible food choices that I can.

Dh has been doing pretty good too, he lost 5 lbs. I am so proud of him.

Good for dh!!! My dh is 5' 10 1/2" and weighs 185.how much you lost?????

[renewedhope 4]

So sorry about the last post. I had to go tend to the baby and my dear son finished my post for me and posted it!!! So sorry.

As I was saying....dh is 5'101/2" and weighs 180 pounds. He can eat anything he wants. He is soooo supportive, but doesn't have a clue what it is like to struggle with obesity. I can't wait to weigh less than him. After I reach onederland my next goal will be to weigh less than him. I bought new panties, bras and pj's yesterday. I rarely spend money on myself, so that was quiet a big deal. I am scared to say it, but I am actually beginning to feel attractive again. Obviously I still have a lot of weight to lose, but I see the old me more and more everyday. I have really missed her.

Oh, that's okay, I'm just now reading them both, lol. My hubby is 5'11" and weighs 229. He was 234 when he started dieting, but 240 was his highest. He tends to gain only in his stomach and some in his face. The rest of him isn't big at all, just the belly, lol. I read somewhere one time that it was a lot more dangerous for someone to gain fat only in the belly than someone who gains all over, mostly because the stomach is where all the organs are and too much fat in that area could cause many problems. Idk if that's true or not really.

I'll hopefully weigh less than him soon. I weighed 258 this morning, so 29 more pounds before I catch him, if he doesn't lose more in the meantime. That will be a huge NSV for me because I've never weighed less than him. When we started dating, we both weighed 140lbs. He was soooooo skinny, really too skinny. 175 was a good weight for him. I looked pretty thin at 140lbs. I've always been athletic and played a lot of sports, so most of my weight came from muscle. I'm shooting for 150, maybe that's unrealistic, I don't know, but I'm darn sure gonna try to get there, lol.
