    I ended my month a day early since we're heading out of town this morning, but I am very happy to have made my goal. Honestly, I'm just happy I'm going in the right direction, that's all that truly matters in the grand scheme of things.

    As an aside, I finally had the guts to tell my husband what my weight is this week (in a roundabout way by letting him come in with me to a doctor's appt and letting him stand there while I was weighed). He knew what it was at one point about 8 years ago (heavier than now) but still doesn't know my highest weight. It does feel like a weight (ha ha) has been lifted off me by being able to talk to him about real numbers now when I want to tell him my progress or what my goals are. Thankfully, he's been so very supportive and I do appreciate that.

    There are so many great successes in this thread that keep me motivated, I am wishing you all the best!

    @Deem114 I definitely understand the feeling! I never wanted to discuss weight or clothing sizes with my fiance before starting this journey! Mostlt because he would try to guess and it was always way less/smaller than reality and it made me feel worse to try and correct him... he is actually bigger than me but still I couldn't fess up to how bad I had gotten... I finally told him at the beginning of my journey and now it is a regular topic lol but now I get to tell him I'm shrinking! It has been very helpful to gave his support and encouragement! I am so glad to hear you are sharing your progress with your husband! He has to be so super proud of you!! I am!!

    Weighed In this morning and 269.4 # Another goal reached..under 270. I also visited my Dr last Thursday..I have beaten back Diabetes for the time being. (You never want to think you've beaten it for good) But my Dr was amazed and very happy for me!! My Hemoglobin A1C after being at 7.2 in January was 5.4 with an Estimated Average Glucose of 108!!
