First, you didn't really think I meant that literally, did you?! :tongue:

First, a random picture taken at my heaviest back in late 2010 --

8 months later, while struggling with PCOS, I have managed to lose my son -- in weight!! He weighs 50lbs. I never realized how much 50lbs was until he JUMPED on my back last night. So glad I no longer have those extra 50lbs of fat on me!
Here I am last night with my son. My daughter said when I lose 60 I have to put her on my back ... maybe I should stop now! So kidding! 36lbs to go!

Not sure why they're so big & cut me off...right click view in new tab should fix it :smile:

    Carpe Diem is a latin phrase that means "Seize the day"... I think that's what she meant by her title (and tattoo)...

    I lost my youngest as well! He is 85 pounds and I would not want him on my back! Next goal is to lose my daughter (110) :drinker:

    I'm sure you didn't intend to cause anyone pain. I hope you never lose your son. Some thought before posting a statement like that might be helpful.

    Never thought of it that way.... I guess I have lost one of my daughters too! LOL

    I didn't intend to hurt anyone. Perhaps I should have thought about the title, however I did lose the weight of my son and that's how I assumed people would take it considering this was posted in the success story forum on a weight loss site.

    I apologize to anyone I may have offended.

    That is just so awesome. An MFP friend said I lost the weight of a child, let's call him Connor. Hehe

    Thanks everyone! I felt I should fix the title and it wouldn't let me...so I made a new post.

    Thanks for all your kind words :smile:
