    Can I ask how tall you are, because in your orange bathing suit pic, you are the exact same weight & body fat as me, and I'd sure like to look like your last pic! :)

    Wow wow wow!!! You are looking amazing!!! I just can't believe you're saying you've got more work to do! You are such an inspiration as I am looking to lose about the same amount as you but somehow thought that I'd just end up looking a bit saggy. Thank you for posting your journey so far. I know that it's about exercise as well as dieting but it's just knowing that it just might be worth it all makes a big difference :) xx

    Your addition of the phrase "My husband is lucky" is ridiculous.

    Was he unlucky before you lost weight?

    Do his peers all have overweight wives who run up great medical bills?

    I hate seeing women put these types of addenda on their success stories.

    Are you a woman or are you only a wife? Do you define your existence in terms of another person? Gah.

    I am really happy to read your post! The first picture - I would say was your Mom (no insult to your mom..) but literally you new pictures look like you could be that first picture's daughter! Fabulous job!

    Yes, I did feel like he was unlucky to have me as a wife before. He never said it but that is how I FELT. I was very unhappy and not only has my body changed but my attitude about myself has changed and that has changed my whole family life.

    Good luck on reaching your goals.

    You forgot to add "congratulations" to that post of yours.

    To the OP - you don't have to justify your heading to anyone. You look amazing and your hubby probably does feel lucky :D

    You felt that you were unworthy of your husband because of your weight. You have lost weight and now you feel worthy of your husband. Have I got that right?

    YOU LOOK AWESOME!!!!! Great Job!!!!

    ETA: And yes, it is important to have those feelings about your husband being a lucky man! It is not a feeling for him but, a feeling YOU have toward YOURSELF and your self worth!! I have these feelings all the time! There were times where I felt like he didn't deserve me to be like I was...he is a great man and didn't "deserve" to have a lazy wife who felt awful about herself and had no confidence! NOW, while I am no where near where I want to be, and eventhough I know he loves me for who I am and what I am, I feel he is Very lucky to have me and how I look! He is Lucky to have a wife who feels (or is starting to feel) comfortable in her skin...who is starting to show Confidence in herself...who is starting to feel more sexy for him and for herself...a wife who actually does stuff instead of being lazy!!

    So yes, Your husband IS a lucky man!!!
