Just to let you guys know, my son is doing awesome! He has lost 8 lbs since he was weighed at the Dr 2 weeks ago:flowerforyou: Hes started drinking only water during the day, eating the healthy dinners I cook, and making his snack choices healthy ones, and gotten WAY more active!:drinker:

I know this is probably just alot of water weight that he has lost so far, but its a start and hes so happy and motivated and proud of himself and Im very proud of him:flowerforyou:

Plus, we both had our bloodwork done last Saturday and we havent gotten "the call" from the Dr yet, so keeping my fingers crossed that it all came back good...no news is good news, right?

    Well congratulations to your son! He will probably do just fine as most kiddos do (once they get out and move)! Great support from mom and the gang here at MFP, he'll be outdoing us all:wink:

    I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THE GOOD NEWS!!!!!

    Tell him we are all rooting for him.
    We all discovered how to lose weight in a healthy way as adults... some of us well into adulthood. He's learning how to do it while still young enough to really impact his young life (high school, college, etc). I am EXCITED for him!!!!

    Roni, this is awesome news! You really have set a good example! - it's great that you are cooking healthier. Without this, he'd have a much harder time to learn what healthy food is and he could be losing weight in many unhealthy ways. You are a great mum! :flowerforyou:
