Can I get a "way to go!"?

in Motivation and Support
I don't get any support from my husband and I don't flaunt my efforts to those who know me such as coworkers etc. But I went to my doc today and have lost 16 pounds since mid November! I'm proud of myself and determined that if I don't get any support at home, which is where I should be getting it...I'll continue on without a word said to him and prove that I can do this. I just wish I had a man who would support my efforts. :cry:

    Heck yes, you can get a "way to go!"

    What's up with your husband being so unsupportive?

    WTG well done great loss.

    I have read something like this ...

    lose 20Lbs you notice

    lose 30lbs family notice

    lose 40lbs everyone notices

    My OH only responds with "your getting there"
    I dont know where there for him is, but i may not be in the same place as him when i get where I'm going.

    That IS awesome. Way to go. Keep it going. Sorry you don't get the support you want and need from home. Trust me, I know what you're going through. I don't get much support from my wife either. We will be watching for more great news and great strides.
    Do NOT give up!! You've got this!!! We're here for you. :happy:

    Thanks everyone! That's so nice of you! I will keep this going to prove to him that I can do this. Maybe after 30lbs he will notice.

    Way to Go! You are doing this for yourself and men are clueless. Be happy with your progress and keep on going! Great work!

    WAY TO GO!!!! You deserve it. Dont focus on what he doesnt say to you....i am sure he is noticing. I went thru this myself. I still go thru it at times. Now i am so proud of myself i dont need anyone else to tell me way to go and you wont either. You will realize you dont need the validation from anyone.

    Keep doing what you are doing and take care of yourself....the rest will come believe me.

    Nice job! Did your doc give you props for progress?

    As far as the hubby goes for me I tell him when I lose weight and then I tell him how I expect him to respond. It has gotten to the point that I no longer have to tell him the reaction I expect.

    He doesn't get screamed at for the wrong reaction and I get the positive feed back I want!

    Win win!:drinker:

    GREAT FREAKING JOB!!!!!!!!!!!! Remember, although getting support at home should be a given, you have started this journey for you...NOT HIM! That being said, continue to kick *kitten* and enjoy the ride!
