A small success story :-)

So i recently got over the 30 pounds lost mark. I still like another 30 to be at my goal, but a couple of realllly cool things have happened. First i am wearing pants that havent fit in a year! Also a shirt that was skin tight on me is now loose. Plus ppl at work are starting to call me slim and skinny (lol I am the boss so maybe thats just sucking up). also today... Two different women hit on me, lol. One was a single mom when i took my daughter to her doctor appt. She noticed my wedding band and said "oh no i have been shamelessly flirting with you! i didnt notice your ring because of the way you were holding the baby". And then a woman at my work (a customer) was hitting on me and she had to be under 22. I don't see myself as very handsome (I am confident in who I am, and i know I am a very good man, but never seen myself as handsome) so i was really flattered. But of course i am utterly devoted to my beautiful wife.
So these are my little successes :-)

    YAY! Success stories, no matter how small, are always an inspiration! And the "shameless flirting" is always flattering, is it not? Enjoy! :happy:

    Great work! Keep it up...and also keep up your confidence. If there is one thing I know, the weight is a small part of the flattery, it probably has more to do with the way you are carrying yourself now. That should feel great! Good job.

    You are just plain awesome! In a lot of ways too! First you have succeeded on your journey to a healthier you AND (what I think is more important) that you are a loving, devoted husband! I think it's awesome that you resist the worldly temptation to be unfaithful! So happy for your success!!! Can't wait to celebrate with ya when you make it to your goal!
